In recent years, the cost of housing has increased sharply across our country. The average home sale price in the US  increased 30% since 2020. At the most basic level, these higher prices are caused by a shortage of available housing units. Zoning, public policy, and a “Not In My Backyard” resistance to new construction are all contributing factors to the housing supply shortfall.

Author & journalist Erika Bolstad joins us to discuss the affordable housing shortage and potential solutions to making housing more affordable for all.
