Serious housing shortage claimed SANTA CLARITA -- Los Angeles and Ventura counties have a serious shortage of housing, continuing a long trend of housing production failing to keep pace with demand, according to a study released Monday by an industry group and the Los Angeles Economic Development Corp. According to the study -- titled ``Meeting the Housing Challenge in L.A. and Ventura'' -- the rapid population growth in the Southland means that only one new unit of housing was built for every 6.86 new people in Los Angeles County from 1990 to 2006. That shortage means that the price of housing is unlikely to dip -- keeping homes out of the reach of many residents. ``If we remain on this pace, the mismatch will worsen,'' said Jack Kyser, chief economist for the LAEDC LAEDC Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation LAEDC Louisiana Economic Development Council . ``This does not bode well for long- term housing affordability.'' -- City News Service |
