Adam Ozimek and John Lettieri at the Economic Innovation Group have an interesting post up today, “How the next president can solve America’s housing crisis”.

They propose “Density Zones” where the federal government provides direct subsidies for public infrastructure where additional housing is approved.

Also, in their post, they link to this paper, which is a good compendium of the evidence about how more construction makes housing more affordable. “Supply Skepticism Revisited” by Vicki Been, Ingrid Gould Ellen, and Katherine M. O'Regan at NYU.
