ADVICE

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.
ADVICE

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.
INSIGHT
