California has the nation’s highest housing costs. Some blame a housing shortage; others, government policies. We sit down with experts to explore what’s driving costs and discuss the state-mandated Housing Development initiative and why some cities push back.

"Housing is going to be a problem," Fed Chair Powell says. "We can raise and lower interest rates, but we don't really have the tools to address a secular housing shortage, structural housing shortage."

New house building won’t bring house prices down, confirms Housing Minister Steve Reed. Finally, the admission from government that new housebuilding alone does NOT solve the cost-of-housing crisis. There’s no housing shortage. Only a money shortage.

We can’t solve homelessness without bringing down the cost of housing. That’s why housing has been my #1 issue since the day I launched this race over a year ago.

We don't need to share the same politics to want to see less encampments. But there's only one solution to homelessness: housing. Doug Ford would rather remove homeless people's Charter rights than do his job to address the housing crisis. Sign & share:

HUD Secretary Scott Turner says mass deportations would have an IMMEDIATE positive impact on the housing crisis facing young Americans Right now: - 59% of criminal alien families welfare programs - Criminal alien welfare costs us $42 billion a year - Thousands living in government funded housing - Housing supply stifled "If you deport them, it would have an immediate impact. You open up housing for the American people. That's who we're supposed to serve." "Millions of illegals have stifled the housing supply. The Biden Administration turned a blind eye."

This is painful to watch. Angela Rayner says at the start of the interview 'we have a housing crisis', then she says we have 'plenty of housing'. She then refuses to acknowledge the problem with mass migration. It's obvious Rayner doesn't have a sodding clue what she's doing.

Patrick and Laura’s home in Etobicoke was built after WWII, when Canada faced a housing crisis and the government stepped in to build more homes. Now we’re facing another housing crisis, and it’s time your government got back into the business of building homes.

Too many young Ontarians have been priced out of the housing market through no fault of their own. Decades of inaction & NIMBYism created Ontario's housing supply crisis - but we are fighting back, so young Ontarians don't pay the price.

President William Ruto: When I came into office, I changed the law on housing to create the Housing Fund and the Housing Levy. I changed the law because the Housing Act that was passed in Kenya was passed at the same time as the Housing Act in Singapore. The difference is that Singapore made progress on their program on housing, we did not. Because of the Housing Fund, we have 160,000 people working in the housing program
