Facing severe housing and aged care shortages across Southeast Queensland, construction giant McNab is advocating for modular, medium-rise apartments that can be built in half the time of traditional builds. McNab Founder Michael McNab and Jason Matthews on 4BC Breakfast discussed how shifting construction to off-site factories in middle-ring suburbs can lower long-term costs and provide critical infrastructure faster.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Property investors should prioritize seizing growth opportunities and actively avoid the opportunity costs of letting their capital remain idle. Current market conditions feature high mortgage rates and challenging housing affordability, yet human nature dictates that fear of loss remains a powerful motivator for market participation. Due to these economic hurdles, tenant retention has surged significantly as renters remain in place longer rather than attempting to purchase homes. Consequently, real estate investors can capitalize on compressed builder margins and various market incentives by consulting with professionals to optimize their portfolios. America is currently facing a severe housing affordability and shortage crisis, largely driven by restrictive government regulations and outdated zoning laws established during the progressive era. David Rand, the founding president and CEO of the Land Liberty Movement, explains that these pervasive barriers—including minimum lot sizes, excessive setback requirements, and mandatory double staircases—severely limit property rights and inflate construction costs. To combat these challenges, organizations like his advocate for state-level policy reforms that dismantle central planning and return decision-making power directly to property owners and developers. By easing these burdensome restrictions and embracing natural market prices, communities can foster innovative housing solutions like high-quality manufactured homes and mixed-use walkable neighborhoods. Ultimately, building a broad ideological consensus and reempowering individuals are essential steps to successfully restoring housing accessibility and the American dream for future generations. #EmpoweredInvestor #RealEstateInvesting #ROI #IncomeProperty #OpportunityCost #HousingMarket #MortgageRates #TenantRetention #BuildToRent #KBHomes #PropertyManagement #LandLiberty #JasonHartman #RealEstateOpportunities https://propertytracker.com/ https://empoweredinvestormarketplace.com/app/search https://empoweredinvestor.com/wednesday https://empoweredinvestorpro.com Contact our Investment Counselors today!

Why does everything cost more while the quality keeps getting worse?That's the question behind this episode. We look at why your paycheck doesn't stretch as far, why buying a home is so much harder, and why so many things cost more while giving you less.From shrinkflation and CEO incentives to bailouts and crony capitalism, the bigger story is about the rules and incentives underneath the economy. And that leads to the final question: what changed about the money itself, and where does Bitcoin fit in?

#753: New York City is short roughly half a million homes, yet at least 60,000 rent-regulated apartments sit empty. Under current rules, many owners lose less money by leaving them vacant than by fixing them up. Kenny Burgos is CEO of the New York Apartment Association, which represents owners of rent-stabilized buildings, and a former New York State Assemblymember from the Bronx. In this episode, we discuss: How New York's rent rules work, and why they've lasted since 1969 Why the typical New Yorker pays about $1,600 while listings ask $5,500 Why some buildings now sell for $50,000 an apartment, and why that isn't a deal How a rent freeze pushes costs onto market-rate renters and delayed repairs Why a targeted rent freeze for seniors and disabled residents works better What Vienna's housing model accounts for that New York's doesn't What aspiring landlords should weigh before buying rent-regulated property Whether you own rentals, hope to, or just want to understand the rent-control debate, this episode shows what happens when costs keep rising and rents can't.

While debate over immigration continues across Australia, the housing crisis remains a serious problem in its own right. Yesterday, Federal Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke addressed the National Press Club, saying immigration is not the cause of the housing crisis, but rather needs to be part of the solution. In this context, we spoke with Dr Fahim Ullah, Associate Professor at Victoria University, to understand whether cutting immigration can genuinely help ease the housing crisis. - جہاں ایک طرف آسٹریلیا میں امیگریشن کے حوالے سے بحث جاری ہے، وہیں ہاؤسنگ بحران بھی اپنی جگہ ایک سنگین مسئلہ بنا ہوا ہے۔ گزشتہ روز وفاقی وزیر داخلہ ٹونی برک نے نیشنل پریس کلب سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے کہا تھا کہ امیگریشن ہاؤسنگ بحران کی وجہ نہیں، بلکہ اسے اس بحران کے حل کا حصہ ہونا چاہیے۔ اسی تناظر میں وکٹوریہ یونیورسٹی کے ایسوسی ایٹ پروفیسر ڈاکٹر فہیم اللہ سے اس پوڈکاسٹ میں بات کی تاکہ یہ سمجھا جا سکے کہ آیا امیگریشن میں کمی واقعی ہاؤسنگ بحران پر قابو پانے میں مددگار ثابت ہو سکتی ہے یا نہیں۔#sbsaudiopodcast__________Explore more ways to listen to the Urdu program here: Listen to SBS Urdu.

Text the show! Americans still overwhelmingly like free enterprise. So why are they rapidly souring on capitalism?Chad argues that the anger behind America's “cost of life” crisis is real — but we're giving it the wrong name.Housing, healthcare, insurance, prescriptions and utilities consume enormous portions of American household budgets, yet many of these markets fail a basic test of competition: Can you walk away? Can you switch? Can a new competitor enter? And does losing your business actually cost the incumbent anything?In this Monologue Monday, Chad examines why young Americans are increasingly receptive to socialism, how regulation and consolidation can turn consumers into price takers, why elective medicine behaves differently from much of American healthcare, how housing regulation adds to the price of a home, and what happens when government responds with public ownership, subsidies and price controls.The answer isn't defending the status quo — and it isn't another revolution.It's a remodel: open the door, post the price, subsidize the customer instead of the seller, and make someone responsible for eliminating regulations that no longer work.You don't hate capitalism. You hate that nobody is competing for you anymore.Text Chad: 252-CHAD-LAWEverything Chad — The GAILY NEWS, the books, the Common Sense Conservative Manifesto, and more — at chadparkerlaw.com.Chapters 00:00 You Don't Hate Capitalism03:24 America's Cost of Life Crisis05:28 Why Young Americans Are Turning on Capitalism08:04 We're Diagnosing the Wrong Problem13:22 Monopoly, Collusion & Price Gouging16:51 The Four-Question Competition Test17:46 Why Healthcare Costs So Much23:08 How Government Keeps Competitors Out25:01 The $131,000 Housing Problem28:19 What Democratic Socialists Want to Do30:14 The Problem With the Utility Model32:55 When Government Picks the Winner35:03 America's Price-Control Experiment38:24 Where Is the Free-Market Countermovement?40:58 Four Ways to Open the Market Again
The housing crisis is real, but the villain isn't the one you think. Nick Pell nails down the real culprits here on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1381On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The villain behind the housing affordability crisis isn't BlackRock. The scare stat that private equity owns 20% of single-family homes? The Urban Institute — a left-leaning shop — clocks it under 4%. Even grandpa renting out a condo counts as an "investor." Aim your outrage at the right enemy.Before a single plank of wood gets nailed, regulations bake about 24% into a new home's price — roughly $94,000 nationally, north of $150K in California. It's effectively illegal to build a genuinely cheap house, and almost nobody is protesting that.Golden handcuffs froze the market: why trade a 3% mortgage for a 6% one? Owners now sit tight a record 11 years, the listings that exist cluster between $750K and $1 million, and the starter home you could actually afford never reaches the market.The other culprit is your neighbor Greg, who treats vinyl siding as a war crime. Mandated gables, brick on all four sides, half-acre lots, mature trees — pure aesthetics, zero safety — heap tens of thousands onto every build and quietly outlaw the starter home.The empowering truth is that scarcity is a policy choice, so it's reversible — and the decisive fights are local. Show up to the city-council meetings you've been skipping. And credit is more fixable than you'd guess — Nick raised his 120 points in a year just paying down debt.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

This week on Hafta, Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal and Anand Vardhan are joined by urban geographer and researcher Rashee Mehra to discuss Delhi's continuing housing crisis.Rashee traces the problem to a structural failure in planning. Using the example of Satya Niketan, a “regularised JJ colony”, she explains how a neighbourhood can be made legal while the construction within it remains unauthorised. “It is actually a very confusing governance structure that we have created in the city,” she says, pointing to the overlapping jurisdictions of the central government, state government and municipal bodies. “That leads to questions of whose responsibility it is.”She argues that Delhi's housing problem cannot be reduced to a question of illegal construction alone. “Housing has to be adequate, affordable, viable, sustainable. Where housing is affordable, it's not adequate, and where housing is adequate, it's not affordable. And that's your catch-22 kind of situation.”Anand adds that the crisis extends well beyond university students. He notes that landlords in the city fall into two categories: “One who has made investments in these houses, and one who is living on the rent only... they have less incentive to invest because all the rent that they get, they spend somewhere.”Subscribe to watch the full discussion.

【聊了什么】 长岛市的新楼一栋接一栋,纽约的房租为什么还是让人住不起?冻结房租,究竟保护了谁,又把谁留在了门外?本期,我们与城市规划师、播客《城市传说 Urban Myths》主播 罗雨翔在纽约长岛市线下录制,从身边的租房经历出发,聊纽约的住房危机,以及马姆达尼的住房承诺如何落地。 我们从纽约的租金稳定制度聊到房东的财产权、租客之间的不平等,以及近年引发美国自由派争论的“丰饶主义”(Abundance)。当住房、交通和公共设施都不够用,政府应该怎样增加供给?为什么一些支持“住房是人权”的人,却反对在自家附近多建几套房子?那些原本为了保护居民、环境和弱势群体而设立的规则,又如何成为建设的障碍? 我们也讨论纽约实际把事情做成的办法:City of Yes 如何为建房松绑,经济发展公司 EDC 如何连接政府与私人资本,马姆达尼如何在左翼理想与治理现实之间周旋。从长岛市的重新规划,到 Gowanus 的改造与居民监督,看纽约市怎样才能把东西建起来,并让居民分享建设带来的好处。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去: 欢迎加入我们的会员计划。 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter,可以加入会员社群,参加会员活动,并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱:american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 00:00 长岛市:新楼越建越多,房租为什么还在涨 10:45 纽约住房危机与马姆达尼的租金冻结 18:52 冻结房租,谁受益、谁承担成本 26:11 租金管制、房东财产权与政府补偿 39:02 丰饶主义:从补贴转向增加供给 43:38 支持住房是人权,却反对建在自家旁边 50:21 City of Yes:让纽约对建房多说“可以” 1:01:27 泳池、公路与铁路:公共设施背后的种族历史 1:09:00 EDC:纽约政府怎样与私人资本合作 1:15:59 马姆达尼、Lina Khan 与纽约的政治平衡 1:24:53 长岛市重新规划:工业区如何变成住宅区 1:27:37 Gowanus:污染运河旁的新社区 1:32:49 社区承诺:既要建房,也要居民监督 【我们是谁】 美轮美换是一档深入探讨当今美国政治的中文播客。 本期的主播和嘉宾: Lokin:美国法学院毕业生,纽约诉讼律师 小华:媒体人 罗雨翔:城市规划师,播客《城市传说 Urban Myths》主播 【What We Talked About】 New buildings keep going up in Long Island City—so why is New York's rent still out of reach? Who does a rent freeze protect, and who gets left out? In this episode, recorded in person in Long Island City, we sit down with urban planner Yuxiang Luo, host of Urban Myths. Starting with our own experiences renting in the city, we explore New York's housing crisis and what it would take to turn Mamdani's housing promises into reality. Our conversation spans New York's rent stabilization system, landlords' property rights, inequalities among tenants, and “Abundance,” an agenda that has sparked debate among American liberals in recent years. When housing, transit, and public infrastructure fall short, how should the government expand supply? Why do some people who believe “housing is a human right” oppose building more homes in their own neighborhoods? And how have rules originally designed to protect residents, the environment, and vulnerable communities become barriers to construction? We also look at how New York gets things done: how City of Yes opens the door to more housing, how the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) connects government with private capital, and how Mamdani navigates the tension between left-wing ideals and the realities of governing. From Long Island City's rezoning to redevelopment and resident oversight in Gowanus, we ask how New York can get things built—and ensure residents share in the benefits. 【Support Us】 If you like our show and want to support us, please consider the following: Join our membership program.

If housing feels impossibly expensive, one answer is that a smaller home, a less in-demand place, or a slower climb may simply be part of starting out and working your way up. But what if getting the house that has long stood at the center of the American Dream also pulls you farther from the jobs, family, community, or daily life you actually value? Continuing the conversation from Kevin Klinkenberg's Messy City Podcast episode, “Is the Housing ‘Crisis' Real?”, Chuck Marohn sits down with Kevin, urban designer Camille Cortes, and architectural designer Sheinya Joseph to ask whether younger adults can still follow the path his parents took toward the American Dream. If homeownership is still possible, what are people actually willing to trade to get it? Additional Show Notes Is the Housing "Crisis" Real?

On this edition of The Federalist Radio Hour, Alvin Lui, President of Courage Is A Habit, joins Federalist Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss how the left weaponizes the empathy of normal Americans to force inclusion through "affordable housing," even if it destroys thriving cities. They discuss how this affects the housing market, crime, and education, and how the same misguided empathy has led droves of American women to stand alongside a confessed murderer.

Trent Livingston is back on That Tech Pod. When Trent first joined the pod for Episode 3 in 2021, he was leading ESI Analyst, a pioneering SaaS company focused on data discovery for the legal industry. Today, after selling ESI Analyst, he's tackling a very different problem: America's housing crisis. As co-founder and CEO of ZoneLex, Trent is focused on one of the least visible but most consequential pieces of the housing puzzle: zoning law. Fragmented, constantly changing local regulations can determine what gets built, where it gets built, and whether the housing Americans need can actually get approved.We talk about Trent's journey from legal tech to housing, why zoning is such a massive technology problem, and how his experience working with complex legal and data systems led him to this new challenge. We also dig into his philosophy around Applied AI and Small Language Models, and why bigger models aren't necessarily better for enterprise applications.From the limits of today's AI systems to the possibility that technology is beginning to outpace the laws governing it, Trent makes the case for a different approach to AI: know the land. Know the laws. And, naturally, we end with the question: after taking on zoning, housing, and some of America's most complicated regulatory data, what's the next impossible problem Trent might decide to tackle?Trent Livingston is a two-time founder who specializes in bringing macro-level technology visions to life. After founding and selling ESI Analyst, a pioneering SaaS data discovery solution in the legal tech space, Trent turned his attention to a massive new challenge: U.S. zoning law and the nation's housing crisis. His motivation to tackle this space is directly tied to his deep foundation in legal technology and his work as a testifying expert in complex data analytics. Recognizing that the "missing middle" housing shortage ultimately starts and stops with fragmented, ever-changing laws, he co-founded ZoneLex. As CEO, Trent drives the strategic vision for an enterprise platform powered by Applied AI and Small Language Models designed to decode and structure this complex legal landscape. With over two decades of experience, Trent excels at identifying massive, unaddressed bottlenecks and building market-defining B2B businesses that drive real-world impact.
What if housing finance could help solve today's biggest challenges? In this special episode, Habitat for Humanity's Jacqueline Innocent reveals why housing is an upstream catalyst for health, education, and equality — and how inclusive finance can transform global housing systems.
Ron responds to Monte Mader's “bodily autonomy” defense of abortion and breaks down why it's a flimsy excuse to kill a baby. Trump is still grappling with the housing affordability crisis and economic fallout he inherited from the Biden administration, much like how Ronald Reagan faced severe inflation and high mortgage rates left over from the Carter years. In the early 2020s, rapid home-price growth and soaring inflation pushed 30-year mortgage rates far higher after they had been in the mid-to-high 2% range when Biden took office, echoing the double-digit inflation and 18%+ mortgage rates of the late 1970s and early 1980s. While rates have begun easing and home-price growth has slowed significantly under Trump, resolving a crisis of this scale — just as it took years in the 1980s — requires more time than many critics allow. Also, Ron answers questions on budgeting, housing, Tucker Carlson, and parenting.
