The Setback

City Reports

The diagnosis, city by city

Each report runs the same method: identify the binding constraint, score it against five supply metrics, then quantify it with a 40-unit development model.

R-01 Washington, D.C. The city hit its housing target the year the pipeline ran dry. The numbers → Regulatory Published
R-02 Los Angeles The city fixed the approval. The building still loses money. The numbers → Cost-driven Published
R-03 Detroit The zoning would allow it. The appraisal won't support it. Capital Upcoming
R-04 San Francisco Seven square miles, most of it already built. Structural Upcoming
R-05 New York City The rules and the geology both say no, in different boroughs. Regulatory + Structural Upcoming
R-06 Miami Plenty of capital. Almost none of it chasing workforce housing. Capital Upcoming
