Transcript of the first Regional Roundtable (May 2001) on the issue of property rights and regulation.
This report has been prepared by the Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies (Gil Kelley, Senior Research Fellow, convenor) based on the deliberations of a group of Portland area experts in real estate development and finance, known for this purpose as the Expert Advisory Group on Developing Centers and Corridors, convened in July through October of 2009.
A report prepared for Metro, to respond to the recommendations of the Regional Housing Choice Task Force by providing information to guide housing choice policy for the Metro Council. In particular, the objectives of this project were to: - Estimate current and future affordable housing need for the Metro region; - Describe the distribution of households by income, age, and size across the metro region; - Describe the tenure of these households and the type of housing they will choose; - Identify and describe those household types that are most likely to struggle to meet the cost of housing based on their income; and - Make recommendations for improving analysis of affordable housing need in the future.
