…One reason for millennials’ short stays may be the kind of housing crunch that has affected Seattle in the wake of its tech-driven colonization, as well as the affordability issues native to traditional hubs like New York and San Francisco. Joel Kotkin, a fellow in urban studies at Chapman University, has chronicled how millennials are increasingly drawn to less-dense cities in the Sun Belt and other not-so-hip areas not traditionally known for easy access to gluten-free pizza and $200-per-week “co-working” spaces.

By: Builder Online

In a recent article about California housing prices and how they affect the future of the state, Joel Kotkin posed a question: “Is California Anti-family?

John McManus covers the issue of housing affordability in an article at Builder Online, excerpted below.

Dave Cogdill, president and ceo of the California Building Industry Association, has at least some of the answer to Kotkin’s question.
