For Star subscribers: The short supply of housing is one of the reasons Arizona has gone from affordable to unaffordable in the last two years. The candidates for governor aren't talking about it.
Tim Steller As they build their campaigns, candidates tend to accumulate plans for addressing the myriad issues of the moment.You can look up Democrat Katie Hobbs' plans for water and the environment, improving education, abortion rights, and immigration and border security. Those and others are right there on her website.
The candidates are talking about some important issues and some hot-button ones, but on housing itself — relative silence. It should be here, too. Arizona was an unusually affordable state just two years ago. As economist George Hammond of the University of Arizona's Eller School noted at an economic forecast last week, in the fourth quarter of 2020, Tucson and Phoenix both had a higher proportion of affordably priced homes than the national average.
Now, easing the construction of new housing is usually the business of the city. But as Jim Tofel, managing member of Tofel Dent Construction, told the housing supply meeting Monday, there are things the state can do.
