SPUR: Why Does Housing Cost So Much To Build?

In 2014, The Urbanist ran an article titled “The Real Cost of Building Housing,” which looked at the exorbitant cost of construction in San Francisco. Over the past four years, these costs have continued to escalate across the region. Join our panel to hear how the situation has evolved and how it impacts efforts to address our housing shortage. Generously sponsored by Bank of America.
