The following essays examine households decisions related to public policy in the housing market. Chapter 1 evaluates the Homeowner Affordability Modification Program by modeling and structurally estimating the mortgage default decision and then investigating household responsiveness to default relative to mortgage value. Chapter 2 studies the consumer response to the First-time Homebuyer Tax Credit using a difference-in-difference approach comparing the demand response of eligible household to ineligible households. Chapter 3 investigates mortgage foreclosures related to financial incentives of the foreclosure process by comparing variation across states in the length of the foreclosure process and the requirement for judicial review of foreclosure using a regression discontinuity across state borders.

Originally published in 1979, these essays provide a guide to the labyrinth of issues which together made up ‘housing policy’ in the late 20th Century. The focus is on the practical and political difficulties of devising measures which meet policy objectives – difficulties which are just as prevalent in the 21st Century. The search for ‘comprehensive strategies’ is shown to be a vain one: given the number of relevant issues and their complexity, only an incremental approach is practicable. Major issues are discussed in the context of an analysis of the institutional, historical and financial framework within which housing policy is formulated and operated.

Under Pressure is about instigation and design in urban housing. Urban housing is a bellwether for economic, social, and political change. It varies widely in quality, typology, and audience and lies between the formal systems of urban infrastructure and the informal systems of daily life. Housing’s complexity offers unique and exciting opportunities to architects. Its entwinement with private equity and public agencies presents important challenges amplified by urbanization. This book gathers and contextualizes relevant conversations in urban housing unfolding today across architecture through four topics: Learning from History, Changing Domesticities, Housing Finance and Policy, and Design and Material Innovation. The result is a multi-disciplinary amalgam of research and design intelligence from thought leaders in the fields of architecture, real estate, economics, policy, material design, and finance.
