DC’s housing crunch is hitting everyone

Finding an affordable place to live in the greater DC area is getting tougher, and it’s not just renters feeling the squeeze—employers are struggling to hire and keep workers, too. With a shortage of nearly 400,000 homes from Baltimore to Richmond, many people are spending more than 30% of their income on rent. It’s even leading job candidates to turn down offers after seeing the cost of living. Local leaders are calling for zoning changes and faster permits to get more homes built, but what do you think would actually help? Have rising rents changed your plans or your neighborhood? #RealEstate #DCHousing #RentCrisis
