  9. The Challenge of a Strong Economy • A booming economy is extremely attractive to workers seeking excellent job opportunities • As such, a booming economy retains workers who already live here and attracts many more • But if the housing stock is limited and growing too slowly, housing demand outstrips housing supply pushing up prices and rents … well above the increase in average income • Those who cannot afford higher priced housing ultimately seek it elsewhere … often in communities farther and farther away from the urban core • This not only begins to push up prices in what were lower priced communities, but adds to the transportation challenge in the region • This is Greater Boston today! • The only solution is to find a way for housing supply to complement housing demand Northeastern School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs  https://www.northeastern.edu/cssh/policyschool
