Vice Provost for Urban Research and Community Engagement and Associate Professor of City and Regional Planning Jason Reece was a featured guest on the March 31 episode of WOSU’s All Sides with Anna Staver, “Untangled: All the Walls We Cannot See.” Reece discussed zoning reforms and the housing crisis.

Homeownership has long been defined as the American dream. It’s the reason so many of our ancestors risked a trip across the Atlantic or trekked hundreds of miles through the wilderness for the chance at staking a claim out west.

Currently, home ownership has dropped to the lowest rate in more than 50 years and first-time buyers are the oldest they’ve ever been.

Why is this the case and how can the issue of lack of opportunity near housing be rectified?

We dig deep and look for answers to these questions related to supply and demand on this edition of “Untangled.”
