Episode notes
Avoid Distorting Housing Subsidies
- Favor market-driven housing solutions over broad government subsidies that create distortions and bubbles.
- Prioritize education, job creation, and relaxed zoning so private builders compete to supply affordable homes.
Disincentivize Speculative Home Buying
- Tax speculative buyers or private equity heavily to preserve housing for first-time buyers.
- Consider consumption-style levies on third homes or institutional purchasers to deter hoarding.
Public Investments Built The Middle Class
- Post-WWII investments like the GI Bill and universal high school propelled broad middle-class growth.
- Tom credits these federal bets for creating the optimistic mobility Americans once felt.
