Episode Details

Boortz explores why homeownership has become increasingly unaffordable, arguing that government regulations are a major driver of rising housing costs. He points to zoning restrictions, minimum lot sizes, setback requirements, building codes, permit fees, and design review rules that add expenses and limit the construction of smaller, more affordable homes. Boortz contends that layers of government regulation have made building a home more complicated and significantly more expensive for the average American.
