EP#5 Mayor Dr. Lynne Robinson | Win/Wins For Cities & Developers

Rental housing economist Jay Parsons dives into the data to talk about what cities can do to facilitate more new housing supply -- and what barriers get in the way -- while also addressing Q&A and offering up a special LIHTC Birthday Edition of Rental Housing Trivia. He's joined later by Mayor of Bellevue, Dr. Lynne Robinson, to discuss Bellevue's successful partnerships with Amazon and Microsoft to build workforce housing, and also what the federal government can do to help cities build more housing.
