Sustaining the Sun Belt Housing Advantage: Policy, Markets, and Long-Term Affordability

The Sun Belt’s rapid population and job growth have fueled an unprecedented housing boom, but municipalities across the region are responding in varying—and sometimes restrictive—ways to the pressures of expansion.

As affordability concerns mount and development constraints increase, the region faces a critical question: Can it sustain its competitive advantage without pricing out the very workforce that drives its economic success? This moderated discussion will explore how local policies, market dynamics, and infrastructure investments are shaping the Sun Belt’s housing landscape. 

Panelists will examine the tensions between growth and regulation, highlight successful strategies for delivering attainably priced housing, and discuss the long-term implications for the region’s economic trajectory.
