By Danny Fishman, CEO, co-founder, GAIA Real Estate The country’s broader middle class is facing a housing crisis: a growing gap in available, high-quality rental options. High-demand markets like Miami and New York City are now appearing in headlines on two lists at once. Miami is called out as oversupplied but is also pointed to as one of the least affordable rental markets in the country. New York City has a supply shortage with population decreasing in recent years, and still rents go up.   The new supply of rental units flooding Sun Belt markets are mostly in Class A buildings with full amenities. Therefore, less quality options are available to middle-income renters. Much of the industry is shying away from this gap, but it’s crucial that developers, cities and states start pushing toward it. Major institutional investors have historically chased luxury or affordable housing at the extremes, partially due to the real estate market’s — both private and public sectors — failure to foresee the widening income gap. As the economy split, households got pushed toward the higher and lower ends, while the middle thinned out. At the same time, renters and buyers were looking for apartments with nice …
