Offering a preview of her presentation next week, we are pleased to publish a blog post authored by Annelise Osterberg.

Osterberg summarizes the findings of her graduate student work, pointing to strategies like promoting jobs-housing balance, putting less of a focus on transit, and relying on more objective, external data for regional governments to ensure more fair, equitable allocations.
