Tempe has proposed an affordable housing density bonus, allowing developers to build denser and taller in exchange for renting a number of units to those making below a certain income. We dive into the details in our latest article (link later in the thread).

"If we care about increasing affordability in the city of Tempe, for those that didn't buy their house in 70s, then we need to take action to increase housing stock." @RandyKeating

We asked Tempe City Council candidates where they stood on housing issues. Our view is that Berdetta Hodge, Brooke St. George, and Bobby Nichols present the best vision on housing for Tempe.

A heck of a chart: in every single one of the 10 major US cities that built the most housing between 2017 and 2023, rents for older, existing units fell—often by quite a bit.

With these adjustments, the density bonus could boost affordability by increasing both the overall supply of housing and the stock of designated affordable housing. There is currently a survey live. We encourage you to take the survey now and request adjustments be made.
