My advice for the Harris team
I have a piece in the Washington Post this morning:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/09/05/housing-crisis-mortgages-kamala-harris-plan/
An excerpt:
“The construction of apartments recovered quickly and is higher today than before 2008. And builders returned to building the single-family homes with higher prices that Fannie and Freddie were still funding. The drop is entirely in the construction of more affordable, entry-level homes.
That shortage has caused unprecedented rent inflation. Ironically, cheap homes have meant expensive rents.”
