“There is one simple answer to why housing costs rise faster than inflation and incomes — restricted supply mated with subsidized demand. In many locales the supply of housing is restricted by the government (rent control, growth limits, expensive and time-consuming permitting, etc) and in every part of the country housing is subsidized by the government (mortgage loan guarantees, tax deductibility of mortgage interest, section 8 housing vouchers, etc). The net result HAS to be rising rents and home prices. I bring this up because we are in the insane situation that both the Left and Right are proposing to attack housing affordability by …. subsidizing demand and restricting supply.” (11/17/25)
