Housing
The best pathway to housing affordability is housing abundance. Americans need more housing of all shapes and sizes to meet their diverse needs. That’s critical to restoring homeownership, a central component of the American Dream.
America’s growing housing crisis is a self-inflicted wound, stemming from harmful zoning regulations that infringe on individual property rights and curtail housing supply. Unaffordable housing is making it harder to start and grow a family, stay in someone’s community, and live where they want.
The path to housing abundance begins with removing burdensome regulations that stop developers from building the homes communities want and need. It also includes ensuring speedy permitting and providing certainty for developers.
