What will it take to make homeownership more attainable in Southern Arizona?
In Episode 15 of The Upside, host Edmund Marquez welcomes Romeo Arrieta, CEO of the Tucson Association of REALTORS®, for a conversation about Tucson’s housing market, the need for additional housing supply, and the important connection between homeownership, jobs, infrastructure, and economic development.

The episode concludes with a hopeful look at Tucson’s future and a reminder that creating a stronger community requires participation from everyone who calls it home.
