Important topic “How Light-Touch Density and Live Local Urban Villages Can Supply Housing Abundance to Connecticut” will be covered by Edward J. Pinto, a senior fellow and codirector of the AEI Housing Center at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). A focus of Mr. Pinto’s work continues to be the role of federal housing policy in the 2008 mortgage and financial crisis and how federal housing policy continues to create unwelcome distortions in the housing markets. More recently his research has focused on using light touch density to increase the supply of naturally affordable and inclusionary housing.
