This book highlights the importance of renting and its potential to help solve the most pressing housing problems in Latin America and the Caribbean. Currently, 1 in 5 households in the region rent their homes, a trend which is most prevalent among the fastest-growing segments of the population, such as young people, single-person households and divorced people. This alternative can therefore help satisfy demand preferences and create greater residential mobility. Also, the quality of rented property is often similar to that of formal homes, even for households in the lowest income quintiles, proving it is an efficient and cost-effective alternative for resolving the qualitative and quantitative housing deficits in the region, suggesting that housing policies linked to better planning and improved territorial organization can lead to more dense, compact cities. For these reasons, the rental market may become a key instrument to compliment the region's housing policy.

Throughout the Western world, a whole generation is being priced out of the housing market. For millions of people, particularly millennials, the basic goal of acquiring decent, affordable accommodation is a distant dream. Leading economist Josh Ryan-Collins argues that to understand this crisis, we must examine a crucial paradox at the heart of modern capitalism. The interaction of private home ownership and a lightly regulated commercial banking system leads to a feedback cycle. Unlimited credit and money flows into an inherently finite supply of property, which causes rising house prices, declining home ownership, rising inequality and debt, stagnant growth and financial instability. Radical reforms are needed to break the cycle. This engaging and topical book will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand why they can’t find an affordable home, and what we can do about it.

"Since 1968 Fannie Mae, the nation's largest financial institution and a major force in the housing market, has provided more than $1.5 trillion in housing financing. Fannie Mae's chairman and CEO James A. Johnson - the most significant leader in our country's housing finance system - has dedicated his organization to reducing housing costs, eliminating mortgage discrimination, and expanding opportunities for the millions of Americans who dream of owning their own homes. In this book, Johnson explains the major forces shaping current patterns of home ownership and describes new ways of making homes more affordable to all Americans. He shows how recent forces like the investor-based mortgage system, advances in technology, changing demographics, and other factors are converging to create the greatest increase in home ownership since the post-World War II housing boom." "Johnson reveals the details of the plans Fannie Mae is pursuing in order to increase home ownership, strengthen the housing industry and boost the economy. He relates the history of home ownership to the cultural, economic, and political landscape of the United States. And his exploration of discrimination and the many other barriers that keep people from buying homes today will be of particular interest to real estate executives, mortgage bankers, community leaders, policy makers, and potential home owners."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
