Housing Preservation Project presentation from One Minneapolis: A Call to Action! conference December 2, 2011 hosted by the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights
This document summarizes the results of the 2013 referendum in New Jersey to amend the state constitution to raise the minimum wage and index future increases to inflation. The amendment passed with 61% approval. As a result, the minimum wage will increase from the current $7.25 to $8.25 on January 1, 2014 and will be automatically adjusted annually for inflation thereafter. The summary also outlines the debate around the economic impacts of minimum wage increases on businesses and low-wage workers.

The King County Assessor called on the state legislature to amend laws to allow assessors to adjust commercial property values that have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Assessors set property values as of January 1 each year for the following year's taxes, but many businesses have seen dramatic drops in value since then due to closures and restrictions. The assessor wants to clarify laws to account for impacts from government restrictions during a public health crisis. Specifically, the assessor proposed allowing property owners to petition for value adjustments if affected by COVID-19 restrictions, and expanding laws that currently allow adjustments after natural disasters to include impacts from pandemic restrictions.
This document discusses the concept of a housing crisis and argues that:
1) There is no clear quantitative measure of a "housing crisis" and current measures are inadequate.
2) Building subsidized housing units will not solve the underlying problem of high housing prices caused by inadequate supply due to excessive regulation.
3) To lower prices and help those in poverty struggling with rent, the solution is to reduce regulations restricting housing development to increase supply, and provide direct cash assistance to pay rent for those in need.
The document discusses the benefits of home ownership. It notes that homeowners have significantly higher net worth than renters, with 43% of homeowners' wealth coming from home equity. Home ownership also promotes stable communities and civic participation. It further outlines how home sales support the economy by creating jobs and activity. The document then provides local data showing average annual returns and home price increases in several Pennsylvania counties over the last seven years. It argues that current low interest rates and home prices make ownership an excellent decision.

May 12, 2011
- The housing market outlook report discusses factors that could lead to higher home sales in 2011 such as improving job creation, a stabilizing real estate market, and more potential home buyers who can afford to purchase.
- However, there are also risks like tight lending standards, high unemployment, and potential changes in housing policies that could negatively impact the housing market recovery.
- The baseline housing market outlook predicts a moderate economic expansion with rising home sales and values but stable national home prices over the next two years.
Housing Market and Economic Outlook: July 2011REALTORS
- The housing market showed signs of improvement in the first quarter of 2011 compared to 2010, though sales were still down in many areas due to the end of the homebuyer tax credit.
- Job growth and economic factors like rising stock markets and rents are expected to support a more stable housing market going forward, with annual sales growth projected around 4% without tax credits.
- However, uncertainty remains around potential policy changes in Washington and high unemployment could continue hindering the recovery.
This document summarizes Lawrence Yun's presentation on the recovery of the housing market and job market to normal levels. It finds that while consumer confidence about current conditions is low, confidence about the future is improving. It also notes that jobs growth has added over 1 million jobs in the past year but it could take until 2015 to return to normal 6% unemployment levels. The housing market fundamentals have returned to justifiable levels with home prices stabilizing and sales improving in line with job growth, but mortgage underwriting remains too strict. The outlook predicts moderate GDP growth and over 2 million new jobs added annually over the next two years, with housing sales and values expected to improve gradually as the job market recovers.
- The document summarizes the state of the US housing market and economic outlook based on a presentation by Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors.
- It finds that the first-time homebuyer tax credit was successful in stimulating home sales but much of the benefit went to those who would have bought anyway. Continued job growth is needed for further recovery.
- While home prices and sales are stabilizing, high foreclosure and housing inventory rates remain risks going forward. The outlook expects moderate economic and housing market growth through 2010 but uncertainty remains from factors like a possible Greek debt crisis contagion.

- The number of potential first-time buyers grew between 2000 and 2009, though many renters remain unqualified for a mortgage. The tax credit further increased the pool of potential first-time buyers.
- National home prices, while still declining, are expected to rise 2-4% in 2010 as the overcorrection in prices is halted and inventory levels stabilize.
