Supply Skepticism Revisited

NYU Furman Center hosted a Policy Breakfast on November 16 to discuss the city’s housing reform agenda and the Center’s updated paper, “Supply Skepticism Revisited,” highlighting recent research that focuses on the nuanced effects housing supply has on housing affordability.

Since the release of the NYU Furman Center’s 2019 paper, “Supply Skepticism: Housing Supply and Affordability,” researchers have delved deeper, presenting rigorously researched evidence on how increasing housing supply impacts local rents, neighborhoods, and gentrification. However, even in the face of mounting evidence, resistance to new housing and land use changes continues to be both highly vocal and deeply felt, often with supply skepticism at the heart of these arguments.
