Many have tried to get pro-housing supply messages out via new media, but few have mastered it like Justine Underhill. With degrees in Economics and Theater and a background as a producer and reporter at Yahoo Finance and filmmaker at Real Vision, Underhill has been able to apply her talents to communicating pro-housing concepts grounded in empirical facts like few others.

Her videos include:

What Luxury Housing Does to Homelessness

The High Cost of "Low Density" Zoning

Green vs. Gray: The Schism Among Environmentalists

They Tried Giving People Money to Buy Homes - Here's What Happened

Underhill has made housing market concepts understandable to the many who regularly watch videos but rarely read papers from economics journals. She's been able to parlay these talents into the world of electoral politics, winning election to the Falls Church, Virginia City Council, where she works to advance pro-housing supply policies in this suburban Washington DC town.

Co-sponsored by the Colorado student chapter of the American Planning Association, the WTS Colorado student chapter, and YIMBY Denver.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear from one of the YIMBY and Abundance movement's most compelling voices!

Light snacks and soft drinks will be provided.
