Overregulation Helped Drive the Nation’s Surge in Homelessness

|
By Alex Horowitz
| pew.org
Opinion April 13, 2026 Homelessness is at a record high today in the U.S. It may feel like an intractable problem, but our own history shows that extremely low rates of homelessness are not only possible, but prevailed here just 50 years ago. The reason? Back then, millions of small, cheap housing units were available, but overregulation put in place primarily over the 1950s to the 1970s decimated them.

Housing affordability is slipping in Minnesota — state policy can help • Minnesota Reformer Original

|
By Tobias Peter, Alex Horowitz
| Minnesota Reformer
Housing affordability has become one of Minnesota’s biggest issues: A young family can’t buy its first home, a nurse or teacher must move farther from work, a business struggles to hire because workers can’t find a nearby place to live. The cause is clear — Minnesota hasn’t built enough homes to keep up with demand. When supply falls behind, prices rise faster than wages. Waiting to address the problem makes it harder to solve.

Phoenix’s Vacant Office Space Is Well-Suited for Co-Living Conversions

|
By Alex Horowitz, Tushar Kansal
| pew.org
With office vacancy rates and housing costs near all-time highs, cities across the United States have been searching for ways to turn empty office space into housing, and particularly into lower-cost homes. But that seemingly promising idea has been hard to realize, in large part because of logistical challenges—primarily, plumbing that is confined to the building’s central core and expanses of interior space without windows.

|
By Allan Oliver, Alex Horowitz
| Albuquerque Journal
Like most of New Mexico, Albuquerque is facing a housing shortage that has pushed rents to all-time highs. The city’s rents have risen 65% since the start of 2017, while Santa Fe County’s rents have spiked 73% — double the increase nationwide. Meanwhile, Albuquerque’s office vacancy rate is 24%, above the national average of 20%. A new approach can help address both challenges: converting vacant office buildings into dorm-style micro-apartments.

By Seva Rodnyansky, Dennis Su, Alex Horowitz
| pew.org
The nationwide housing shortage has driven rents up more in low-income neighborhoods than in the U.S. overall, but in areas that have recently added large amounts of housing, rents have fallen the most in lower-income neighborhoods with older buildings, according to an analysis of publicly available housing data. A large body of research has already established that when there is a shortage of homes, the cost of housing rises rapidly, and when housing is plentiful, affordability improves.

A-dorm-able: A heretofore hidden housing-production option for the District

By Alex Horowitz
| Greater Greater Washington
Converting office buildings into apartments is an appealing way to deal with the combination of a nationwide office glut and a housing shortage, but it’s time to admit that high conversion costs have made such renovations too expensive to make a big dent in either problem. The good news is that there’s something that works far better than converting empty office space into individual apartments: converting that space, instead, into dorm style-housing. That’s especially true in Washington, DC.

By Alex Horowitz
| Austin American-Statesman
Texas faces a housing shortage. That scarcity has driven rents and housing prices to near all-time highs as the state needs more than 300,000 new homes. However, state lawmakers can help ease the shortage and improve affordability for all Texans. A series of bills moving through the Legislature would make it easier to build homes — reforms that are widely popular with the public. And in the places where the reforms have been implemented, they’ve worked.

Hawaii is an especially desirable place to live — unless you’re trying to buy or rent a home. Since the start of 2017, home prices are up 50% while rents have soared 47%. Hawaii is now the most expensive state in the U.S., both by median rent (more than $2,200) and home price ($839,000). What explains these high costs? Hawaii’s housing shortage is the main culprit. Over the past decade, Hawaii has added just 0.8% per year to its housing stock, not nearly enough to keep up with demand.
