Participants in this thread are spread out -- any of you working on apps or aware of innovations in the Seattle, Boston, Los Angeles, New York or elsewhere in the US / world that are part of the solution?

1. What looks promising?
2. Alternatively, what are the barriers to affordable housing innovation?
3. How might you / we cocreate with Fannie Mae to address them?
4. What kind of research would you like MIT to conduct?
5. BILLIONS are going into RETech, PropTech, will we see the emergence of #AffordableHousingTech?
6. Can, should Boston take the lead? How?
