“Drive through almost any established suburb in the United States, and you’ll see the pattern: single-family homes large enough for growing families occupied by just one or two retirees whose children left the nest a decade ago. Meanwhile, young families double up in cramped apartments, first-time buyers are priced out of the communities where they grew up, and school enrollment data tells the story of whole neighborhoods closed off to the people who would benefit from access to what they offer. It’s a problem made worse by our tax code, but it’s one that the tax code can help correct.” (07/23/26)
