This week on Investing with GoodLife Housing Partners — With Washington in shutdown mode, LA doubling down on costly housing policies, and Crowdstreet branching into private credit, private equity and VC, David and Rohan dissect what’s reshaping the economy, markets, and investor sentiment.

• Government Shutdown Fallout: The halt stops jobs and CPI reports—how can Powell stay “data dependent” with no data at all?
• Fed’s New Voice: Trump-appointed Fed Governor Miran calls for 150 bps of rate cuts for 2025 and scrapping the 2 % inflation target—wishful thinking or the start of a stimulus wave?
• LA Housing Paradox: Developers freeze projects under Measure ULA and a proposed $40/hr construction worker minimum wage—can the city still hit 450 K new units by 2029?
• Crowd Street Expands Beyond Real Estate: Partnering with financial giants Nuveen & StepStone to offer private credit, private equity and VC fund access to retail investors—real diversification or hidden risk?
• Office Shake-Up: Office Properties Income Trust is delisted and misses $30 million in loan payments, while Manhattan leasing quietly rebounds toward pre-pandemic levels.

🎧 Tune in now for Episode 214 — from shutdown shocks to democratized investing, this week’s markets test every assumption about data, housing, and opportunity.
