Housing, Pollution, and Sprawl

A look at how policies related to mortgage insurance and other housing factors influences where houses are built.

In the Washington Post, Michael Grunwald has an article on how issues of affordable housing are being increasingly felt in the suburbs. One of the advantages of post-World War Two suburbanization has been a marked increase in relatively affordable housing–albeit highly subsidized by the federal government. As scholars such as Kenneth Jackson have argued, federal government policies related to mortgage insurance, highway construction, and various tax deductions have been historicaly skewed towards suburban development at the expense of inner-city investment.

Federal government should rethink over the mortgage issues and mortgage related tax and mortgage payments. Now a days most of the home buyers are coming under the grip bankruptcy and that should have been avoided at any cost.
