If you’re trying to understand why starter homes have vanished, why marriage and birth rates are falling, or why your kids can’t afford to move out, you won’t find a clearer guide than Dr. Emily Hamilton. Her latest piece in Governing, “To Support Families, Repair the Housing Ladder,” is a must-read. It makes a simple but devastating point: We’ve eliminated the low rungs of the housing ladder—and now we’re shocked people can’t climb it.Starter apartments? Outlawed. Manufactured housing? Zoned out.SROs? Gone. Family-friendly rentals? Blocked by NIMBY politics. And now the U.S. is flirting with population decline for the first time ever. This conversation explains why—and what to do about it.👉 Subscribe on vanceginn.substack.com to get shows and show notes in your inbox and follow my handle on X at @vanceginn for more pro-growth policy content that doesn’t pull punches.
