housing crisis

We're asking several questions this season in an effort to untangle central Ohio's housing crisis.

In this photo taken Oct. 14, 2010, Jay Shafer, owner of Tumbleweed Tiny Houses is seen on the front porch of a tiny house he built for himself in Graton, Calif. In a country where most people want to live large, Jay Shafer helps people live small. The California homebuilder has become a leader in a small but growing corner of the American housing market: the tiny house. Shafer, who lived in a 89-square foot house with his wife before his son was born last year, builds houses that are smaller than most people's living rooms.

Are tiny homes possible solution in the affordable housing crisis?

We’ll discuss affordable housing from how it’s defined, solutions to overcome its challenges and how it can be better designed.

Short-term rentals are in many Columbus neighborhoods. They bring people and business into the city, but they also take away from the city's limited housing stock.
