Reducing Home Building Costs




The senior economist for the National Association of Home Builders, Elliot Eisenberg, PhD, believes some local regulations and permitting are hurting new homebuilding.

When Elliot Eisenberg, the National Association of Home Builders' senior economist, spoke before 50 Northeast Builders Association members in Boxboro, Mass. at the end of October, he told the audience why the state is not fairing so well economically.

He noted the population of Lowell, Mass. increased 10 fold between 1828 and 1850, a period when the textile factories were built.

"You can't build factories like those today with all these new government regulations,?EUR??,,????'?????<

Eisenberg concurred, saying local state governments are standing in the way of building new homes, because the structure of the local governments have made those governing bodies to complicated and expensive.
