Republicans are looking for a populist win — something they can point to and say they’re “looking out for the folks.” Enter the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, a massive federal housing package packed with grants, subsidies, and federal involvement in local zoning.
The problem? It solves nothing — and may make the housing crisis worse.
In this episode, we break down:
• Why subsidizing housing always pushes prices higher
• How federal grants and loan programs distort local markets
• The real issue with corporate ownership of single-family homes
• Why tax policy — not subsidies — is the real lever to discourage corporate home buying
• Why Washington has no business dictating zoning in local communities
• How new federal powers could let the Treasury reshape housing markets nationwide
• And the real reason housing supply stays tight: bad incentives in the tax code
