The Portland, Maine development is an effort to help lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual or queer older adults "age gracefully with some form of dignity in a place that’s accepting and supportive and will help with the challenges of aging." @MarketWatch marketwatch.com/story/the-lg…

The drop in demand for homes that need renovation is being driven by high mortgage rates. Fixer-uppers are always risky, but are more costly now as rates for home loans and construction have increased, on top of already high prices.@VeronicaDagher @WSJ wsj.com/articles/buying-home…

“The deterioration in affordability that we have seen over the last two years, even the last year, is frankly stunning,” says @Dan_McCue. “It’s not that Boston was affordable before, but this has become a housing market for almost no one.” @andrewnbrinker bostonglobe.com/2023/02/25/b…

By limiting the number of rental options, neighborhoods effectively exclude lower-income households from their communities. Read about this in @airbrycki’s and my latest blog on rental segregation:
Almost a third of all US neighborhoods are "rental deserts" with less than 20% of housing occupied by or available to #renters, perpetuating patterns of racial and class segregation @airbrycki @SophiaWedeen jchs.harvard.edu/blog/rental…

From 2019 to 2020, the share of #renter households with cost burdens (spending over 33% of their income for #housing) rose nearly 3 percentage points, and socioeconomic and racial inequalities widened. @airbrycki @Hail_Hail jchs.harvard.edu/blog/afford…

This is another silo we’re stuck in — financial planning that fails to address a basic social determinant of health, housing. It shows that we’ve got a lot of work to do. Good piece by @richeis315. cc: @NoraSuper1 @jenmolinsky @ricedelman #seniorliving #retirement #aging

Inequalities in housing location are a key issue - check out a report that I co-authored with @jenmolinsky @sguzman6 and @airbrycki at aarp.org/livableneighborhood…. We dove into which categories of older adults have access to the most livable neighborhoods.
