“The image of a white picket fence and a house to call your own often comes to mind when discussing the American Dream, but this image is just a shallow reflection of a much deeper concept. It may be true that the dream is actualized through meaningful access to housing; however, it is ultimately about living freely and flourishing by adhering to the ideals of the American Founding, through which one pursues happiness and reaches one’s fullest potential. That dream is made possible when individuals have access to housing that is affordable, well-located, and suited to different lifestyles. Without these preconditions, the American Dream is much harder to achieve. Yet for decades, institutional barriers have threatened this foundation.” (07/28/25)
