  • Is Bad Housing Policy Making Poverty Worse?

    Is Bad Housing Policy Making Poverty Worse?
    Jan 28 2025
    Housing policy plays a critical role in shaping poverty in America, influencing both the availability of affordable housing and the stability of low-income communities. With skyrocketing housing costs, inadequate affordable housing options, and policies that often fail to address the root causes of poverty, millions of Americans continue to struggle with housing instability. In this episode, Emily Hamilton, Senior Research Fellow and Director of the Urbanity Project at the Mercatus Center and Tracy Hadden Loh, Fellow at the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Center for Transformative Placemaking at the Brookings Institution, discuss whether bad housing policy is making poverty worse.

  • What Is the Problem with Immigration, and What Should We Do about It?

    What Is the Problem with Immigration, and What Should We Do about It?
    Dec 19 2024

    Immigration in the United States has long been a contentious issue, marked by debates over border security, economic impact, and social integration. While some argue that immigration is the driving force behind the nation’s growth and cultural diversity, others have concerns over border security, undocumented immigration, and the strain placed on public services. But is immigration itself the problem, or do the problems stem from immigration policies in place? In this episode, join David Bier, director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, Wendy Edelberg, senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, and Simon Hankinson, senior research fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation as they discuss immigration.
