Inside this episode of Inside the Flows, Iyassu sits down with Anna Smukowski from Enterprise Community Partners for a deep dive into one of the most pressing issues facing both households and markets today: affordability. The conversation centers on the structural challenges behind the affordable housing crisis, including rising development costs, regulatory friction, and the growing gap between income and housing prices, and why these forces are making it harder for communities to access stable, quality housing.
