Government Is The Cause Of, Not Solution For, Skyrocketing Housing Costs
2024-10-27
[Federalist] There has been no shortage of government plans purported to make houses more affordable in America, including most recently a $25,000 government subsidy to select first-time buyers proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. However, recent reports argue that the government itself has played a pivotal role in putting houses out of the financial reach of many middle-class buyers.

"We are short, depending on who you ask, between 4 and 7 million homes nationwide, and we’re building fewer homes than we were back in the 1970s," James Burling, a property rights attorney at Pacific Legal Foundation and author of "Nowhere to Live: The Hidden Story of America’s Housing Crisis," said. "Part of the problem is that government is making it difficult to build."
