A fight over this lot in Berkeley, California, helps explain the housing crisis in the U.S. When the owner of the house died, the neighbors assumed that the buyer would be doing a lot of work. But then a developer floated a proposal to replace the building with a trio of small homes. The neighborhood protested. Some objections were particular to Berkeley, like Kurt Caudle’s complaint that shadows might hurt his garden. (Swipe left to see it, and other photos of Berkeley by @andrewburton11.) But whatever the specifics, what’s happening in #Berkeley may be coming soon to a neighborhood near you. Many fast-growing metropolitan areas in the U.S. are facing a brutal shortage of affordable housing. The results: gentrification, homelessness, even disease. California has the biggest problem. The state’s median home price (just over $500,000) is more than twice the national level and up about 60% from 5 years ago. The state has the highest poverty rate in the U.S. — 1 in 5 residents — once housing is taken into account. And its plans to reduce carbon emissions are being undermined by prices that push people farther and farther from work. Cities struggling to keep up with demand for housing have remade their skylines, but single-family neighborhoods have rarely been part of the equation. If they want to tackle affordable housing problems, that’s going to have to change. But how do you build up when neighbors want down?
