Democrats need to be the party of ideas, not indignation. Our Project 2028 series will address critical issues facing American society through a no-mercy, no-malice lens. We begin with housing. The U.S. doesn't have a housing crisis, but an affordability crisis. Roughly one-third of Americans rent, and nearly half are cost-burdened, i.e., they spend 30% or more of their income on housing.
Since 2019, rents have increased one and a half times faster than income in most U.S. metro areas. In purely economic terms, increased housing costs reduce labor mobility and productivity as workers can't afford to live in high-growth areas. When human capital can't be invested in the regions offering the greatest returns, it dampens growth.
One research project estimates that removing housing constraints, i.e. lowering costs, to increase the liquidity of human capital would increase GDP by $1.4 trillion. In some, there may be an economic as well as a social justification for government investments in housing.
