Definitions of 17 commonly misunderstood housing policy terms.
"Whether you're concerned with affordability, gentrification or just finding a decent place for your family to live, you've probably encountered a few housing terms that get tossed around a lot but aren't very clearly defined," writes Rachel Quednau. "To help get some clarity on these terms, I'm sharing some simple and clear definitions of them below, along with a Strong Towns take on many of them."
Quednau splits the list into four groups:
- The Basics (mixed use, market rate, etc.)
- Unique Types of Housing (accessory dwelling units, tiny homes, etc.)
- Affordable Housing Terminology (housing vouchers, public housing, etc.)
- Tricky Subjects (gentrification, NIMBY, etc.)
