Empty Offices and Old Malls. The Future of Housing in Texas

Estimates show Texas needs an extra 300,000+ housing units. To spur construction, the state just took away significant regulatory power from Texas cities. The passage of SB 840 will make it much easier for developers to bypass local restrictions and neighborhood objections when they create new housing out of empty office buildings, dying malls, or land that had been off-limits for residential construction. How will cities respond? And what's about to happen in your neighborhood? An apartment developer and an expert in urban economics & growth predict what comes next. Guests Barrett Linburg, Co-Founder/Savoy Equity Partners Cullum Clark, Ph.D., Director/Bush Institute-SMU Economic Growth Initiative
