As has been pointed out on these pages before, when a word is used to describe every situation in the news, it loses its impact. Specifically, when everything is a crisis (COVID, inflation, supply chains, labor shortages, climate, opioids, cream cheese availability, Sharon’s Marie Callender’s pumpkin pie, etc. etc.), nothing really seems a crisis.
The national and Arizona housing affordability situation, however, is worthy of the term.
While market-based solutions are always preferable to government edicts, much has been learned in the last 60 years about how governments and industry can work together to address social problems, including affordable housing.
