About this listen
This episode discusses the U.S. housing crisis and explores the proposed 50-year mortgage. It delves into why housing prices continue to rise while incomes stagnate, highlighting the insufficient housing supply and increased mobility of Americans. We also discuss socio-political factors that influence migration patterns, including LGBT laws and racial inequalities. We talk about the proposed long-term mortgage for its impracticality, address the potential consequences of current policies, and stress the urgent need for building and investment, especially in underdeveloped areas, as a viable solution.
