Jeannine Burnett The American housing market is in crisis, but beyond the supply shortages and interest rate pressures lies a more structural failure, according to design-build firm Access Design + Build founder Jeannine Clark. Homes, she notes, are still being designed and built for a single version of human life, where injuries, aging, shifts in mobility, and family configurations are rarely taken into account. Jeannine argues that the industry continues to prioritize short-term construction efficiency and resale trends over livability.
