Millennials: the immobile generation | Derek Thompson
“This is a world in which we've essentially given ourselves the tools to stop the construction of the most important product in American lives in the places where Americans often most want to move.”
Behind the outcome of the 2024 election lies a deep fracture in the American dream: the choice between affordable places that stall mobility, and dynamic cities that lock people out with impossible prices.
Chapters:
0:00 The “affordability election”
1:17 America’s housing crisis
2:39 The opposite of The American Dream
2:57 Big cities, housing supply, the rise of NIMBY
5:50 Homeowners vs. Non-homeowners
8:29 A tragedy of good intentions
12:28 A new age of institutional renewal
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About Derek Thompson:
