What happens when the big ideas from MEREDA’s Fall Conference meet the realities of actually getting housing built? In this episode, Elizabeth Frazier and Jason Howe recap the conversation with Maine’s gubernatorial candidates and dig into what they heard and what they didn’t. All three candidates agreed that Maine is facing a housing crisis, but the real differences emerged around how to address it. The discussion takes a closer look at the barriers developers continue to face at the local level, the challenges of building housing for Maine’s middle-income workforce, and the question that remains at the heart of the crisis: How do we move from talking about housing to actually getting it built?
