The 2026 American Dream

Let’s be honest: The government "forgot" to check the infrastructure like a pyromaniac "forgets" that matches cause fire. This isn't a market glitch; it’s state-sponsored scarcity.

• The Red Tape Tax: If you tried to bake a loaf of bread but the city charged you $20 for a "flour permit" and made you wait six months to preheat the oven, bread would cost $50 a loaf. That’s our housing market.
• The Incentives are Broken: City councils love high prices because high prices mean high property tax revenue. They have no incentive to lower your rent because it would shrink their "ATM."
• The Fix: Total Deregulation. Stop "managing" the growth and get out of the way. Abolish development fees, fire the zoning boards, and let the price signals actually work. If people want to live there, someone will build a way to house them if the state stops making it a legal nightmare.
