WiP Interview

After encountering many problems, I was finally able to receive some assistance and find someone to interview. I had the pleasure of interviewing Mrs. Trudy who is a real estate agent in Austin, Texas. She was very helpful with providing information and her opinions on the housing problems in Austin. The main problem Mrs. Trudy discussed with me regarding housing is that not enough affordable housing is available for low-income people. The increase in new, large businesses moving to Austin has also caused a surge in the number of  individuals with large salaries who are moving to the city. With this surge, construction companies began to mainly construct high-end homes with high prices. These homes are not affordable for the individuals who do not have those jobs with large salaries. Yet, people from all economic backgrounds continue to move to Austin. This large demand of homes also cannot be met, causing the housing market to raise the prices. I was never really aware of the severity of the housing problem in Austin until my interview with Mrs. Trudy. I was under the impression that the only problem was that construction companies were simply unable to met the demand. I did not know of other factors such as companies primarily constructing high-end homes. I thoroughly enjoyed my interview with Mrs. Trudy and I gained new insight on this wicked problem.
