Cody Fischer: 作为一名房地产开发商，我致力于建造节能环保的中等规模公寓，以解决住房短缺问题。然而，我的项目在获得批准后却因为城市政策变化和环保诉讼而被迫暂停，这凸显了解决住房短缺的复杂性和挑战性。尽管面临挫折，我仍然乐观地认为我的项目最终能够建成，并为解决住房问题做出贡献。 Kenny Malone & Amanda Aronczyk: 美国正面临严重的住房短缺，导致房价上涨。明尼阿波利斯尝试通过2040计划等政策来解决这个问题，该计划旨在增加各种类型的住房供应，包括中等规模住房。然而，该计划的实施面临来自附近居民的NIMBY主义反对以及环保诉讼的挑战，这表明解决住房短缺需要平衡不同利益相关者的需求，并应对复杂的政治和法律环境。 Nick Erickson: 明尼阿波利斯2040计划是一项雄心勃勃的住房规划，它详细规定了不同区域的建筑规模和类型，并取消了单一家庭住宅分区。该计划旨在通过增加住房密度来解决住房短缺问题，并促进可持续发展。然而，该计划的实施也面临挑战，例如来自附近居民的反对和环保诉讼。 Jerusalem Dempsis: 地方政府在处理住房建设问题时，往往没有提出正确的问题，例如没有考虑更广泛的社会需求。解决住房短缺需要从大局出发，设定明确的目标，并考虑不同世代对发展的不同看法。州政府应该在制定住房政策方面发挥更大的作用，因为住房短缺是一个州级而非仅仅是地方级的问题。 附近居民: 我们反对在住宅区建造公寓楼，因为这会破坏社区环境、增加交通拥堵和降低房价。我们认为，在进行任何开发项目之前，应该充分考虑当地居民的意见和担忧。
