The U.S. Housing Recovery: Lessons from California

 

The American Action Forum will livestream a panel discussion from the Hyatt Regency in Sacramento on the devastating downturn of the housing market and painful recovery currently facing our nation. There’s no question California's housing markets and greater economy have been among the hardest hit, yet a comeback seems to be underway. What can California's story teach the rest of us? Is using eminent domain really a solution to our housing woes?

Join online as we hear from an exciting group of experts including Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former Director of the Congressional Budget Office, Daren Blomquist, Vice President of RealtyTrac, Richard Green, Director and Chair of the USC Lusk Center for Real Estate, Jed Kolko, Chief Economist at Trulia, Paul Herrera, Government Affairs and Communications Director, Inland Valley Association of Realtors, David Min, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of California, Irvine, and Gideon Kanner, Professor Emeritus at Loyola Law School.

Both panels will include an audience question and answer session.
