Great new research from the Terner center finds that "affordable" housing in California is only as affordable as those that populate a given region. Their newly proposed inclusive affordability measure seems like a good idea to consider moving forward.
From the study as a summary:
"In this paper, we present a new approach to measuring housing affordability—one that seeks to provide a better indicator of what counties in California are affordable, and for whom. Specifically, we propose a new inclusive measure that considers whether a location is affordable not to those who live there, but rather to those who might potentially live there."
