“Generally, Americans prefer single-family homes. All explanations for why urban populations across the country are collapsing as suburbs swell centering on public safety concerns, lack of schooling options, and rising costs aside, most people genuinely like living in a house with a yard more than they do in an apartment complex. If they can afford it. Trump campaigned on a vision of building ten new Freedom Cities. Details are scant on Trump’s plan, but directionally, the Trump administration announced plans yesterday to repurpose underutilized federal lands for the construction of affordable housing. … The desire to transform open public spaces into housing units is not new. In New York City, one mayoral candidate proposes building affordable housing on four of the city’s twelve municipal golf courses.” (03/19/25)
