The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – Affordable housing shortages are pushing families into overcrowded conditions, driving young adults back into multi-generational homes, and leaving many working people unable to secure stable shelter at all. The severity of the crisis has led some commentators to call for a modern Marshall Plan devoted to housing...

Send us a textSouthern Utah is changing fast—and we're breaking down the real forces driving growth, prices, politics, and water. This episode cuts through the noise to explain what's really happening with drought, development, new builds, county policy, and the power struggles shaping the future of Washington County.We start local with the Purgatory jail expansion, why the new medical wing matters, and how it ties into the region's long-term fiscal strategy. Then we shift to housing and builder moves: Lennar tapping the brakes nationally while Pulte picks up new land in Desert Color. The message? The market isn't dead—it's cautious, competitive, and shifting.And yes… water is still the #1 issue.We break down the county's five-stage drought plan, penalties tied to residential connections, what this means for high-use sites like golf courses, and the rising tensions between conservation, affordability, and growth. With the Colorado River negotiations stalled and the Lake Powell pipeline delayed, Washington County is leaning heavily on the Virgin River Basin and price signals to limit demand.We also dig into:• Bill Gates' climate pivot + the energy demands of AI• The myths behind 50-year mortgages and portable loans• What actually helps affordability (first-time buyer aid, tiered rates, zoning reform)• Why Utah's redistricting ruling could reshape representation• Plus: Four open city council seats in Hurricane, Ivins, Santa Clara & St. George—your chance to influence local policy without running a full campaignIf you care about Southern Utah real estate, housing affordability, growth, water policy, politics, or local government, this is the episode you can't miss.

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian opens with a reflection on the defining economic and political moment facing Canada today. From rising interest rates and a housing crisis to stalled productivity and growing global pressures, Brian outlines why Canada stands at a critical turning point and what bold action is needed to move forward. Then, Brian is joined by Eric Guntermann, PhD, Chief Data Scientist at Empirical Intelligence, for a data-driven look at how Canadians really see their country's politics. Together, they explore what Canadians think of Prime Minister Mark Carney, where voters are shifting across party lines, how Americans view Canada, and why understanding public opinion is key to rebuilding confidence and progress.

Tara breaks down the latest ICE operation in Florida, highlighting the dangers posed by criminal illegal immigrants and the challenges posed by activist judges releasing them. She then connects immigration policy to the skyrocketing U.S. housing crisis, showing how the influx of millions of legal and illegal immigrants has created a shortage of homes and driven up rent, pushing young Americans out of the market. Tara also examines proposed “solutions” like portable and 50-year mortgages and H-1B visa misuse, arguing that current policies dilute American jobs and threaten generational wealth. This episode is a deep dive into law, policy, and the economics of immigration, exposing how mismanagement affects safety, affordability, and the future of the American dream.

Tara breaks down the ongoing immigration and visa crisis in the U.S., examining how both illegal immigration and H-1B visa programs are impacting American jobs, wages, and housing. From ICE operations in Florida to California's illegal CDL drivers, Tara exposes how corporate and political interests have diluted the workforce, driving up housing costs and displacing Americans. She also scrutinizes Trump's policies, including his visa fees and immigration enforcement, explaining what's working, what's not, and where political narratives distort the truth. Additionally, Tara addresses media manipulation, including the BBC's misrepresentation of Trump's speeches, and explains how these narratives affect public perception.

The housing crisis is getting worse. Prices are going up at the fastest rate in almost four years and, as more Australians are being locked out of the market, many are struggling to pay the rent. The government knows the scale of this crisis but progress has been slow.Bridie Jabour talks to the head of newsroom, Mike Ticher, deputy editor Patrick Kennelly and the national news editor, Josephine Tovey, about whether the government has found the right solutions to fix the housing crisis

The Government is set to unveil its long-awaited new housing plan later today. But will it finally be the silver bullet to solve Ireland's housing crisis? Ciara discusses this further with Carol Tallon, CEO of Property District.

The Empire State Building took 110 days to build—today, changing a window would take two years. Alex Rampell (a16z) and Varun Krishna (Rocket CEO) expose how asset inflation turned housing from the American Dream into a wealth transfer machine where the median homebuyer age jumped from 30 to 38 in just fourteen years. While Silicon Valley burns billions on products people use daily but never pay for, Rocket quietly assembled a $10 billion profit engine and is now buying up the entire housing funnel—from Redfin's 50 million monthly searchers to one in six US mortgages—betting they can crack the code everyone else gave up on: turning a once-in-a-lifetime transaction into an everyday relationship. Resources:Follow Varun on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/varun-krishna-30019a22Follow Rocket on X: https://x.com/RocketOTDFollow Alex on X: https://x.com/arampell Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!Find a16z on X: https://x.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zListen to the a16z Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5bC65RDvs3oxnLyqqvkUYXListen to the a16z Podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a16z-podcast/id842818711Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Utah's housing costs are soaring, and many wonder if the crisis is truly accidental. Richard Markosian sits down with Kimberly Burnett of Ivory Innovations to explore whether Utah's housing shortage is manufactured—sustained by policy, regulation, and zoning that keep prices high and affordable homes out of reach. They discuss how 24% of every new home's cost comes from regulation, why smaller homes and ADUs remain blocked, and what it will take for Utah's next generation to finally afford a place to call home.

President Trump says 50-year mortgages could make homes more affordable for struggling buyers. Is he right? Or would this fix just make the housing problem worse? Let's unpack what a 50-year mortgage could mean for buyers and the broader market.

Animal shelters in the St. Louis region are facing unprecedented overcrowding as the number of surrendered and abandoned pets continues to grow. The Center for Animal Rescue and Enrichment of St. Louis reported a 64% increase in the amount of animals taken in between 2023 and 2024, and shelter staff are currently struggling to take care of more than 100 dogs in a facility that has capacity for 61. Unfortunately, they're not alone in their struggle. Leaders with CARE-STL, Gateway Pet Guardians in East St. Louis, and St. Louis County Pet Adoption Center share the reasons behind the crisis and what residents and lawmakers can do to help.

Welcome back to another full episode of the Couple Casuals Podcast!In this raw and unfiltered conversation, your host Stefano sits down with Elliot, fellow Canadian podcaster and host of The Right Call Podcast, who travelled all the way from Montreal to Toronto for this thought-provoking episode.Together, they break down the cultural, political, and economic divide between Canada's two biggest cities — exploring why Toronto has lost its soul, how Montreal still preserves its joie de vivre, and what these contrasts reveal about the future of Canada.Elliot reflects on his time living in Toronto years ago and how dramatically it has changed — from rampant homelessness and violent-crime spikes (up 55%) to a bureaucratic nightmare of housing costs and red tape. He contrasts that with Montreal's deep sense of community and social cohesion, explaining how Toronto's extreme multiculturalism has created a city of isolated tribes rather than a unified people .The two dive into hard-hitting national themes:- the collapse of Canada's housing market,- the immigration surge that's overwhelmed infrastructure,- and the growing voter apathy that's left everyday Canadians feeling unheard.Elliot doesn't hold back in criticizing Olivia Chow's leadership and the Liberal government's mass-immigration policies, arguing that decades of reckless decision-making have left Toronto on the brink. With nearly half of Toronto's population foreign-born and over 56% identifying as minorities, he asks a critical question: Has multiculturalism gone too far to unite the country?They also examine how policy failures at every level — federal, provincial, and municipal — have eroded Canada's middle class, crippled youth opportunity, and divided Canadians into tribal echo chambers.This episode dives deep into:- Why Toronto feels “soulless” compared to Montreal's community energy- How unchecked immigration is overwhelming Canada's systems- The cultural costs of political correctness and identity politics- The reality of corruption, bureaucracy, and government overreach- Why Canadians must re-embrace patriotism, faith, and common senseGrab a casual, lock in, and let's get into it.

Housing in Australia's cities is among the least affordable in the world. For decades, we have not built enough housing where people most want to live. A lack of well-located homes is dividing families and communities, and robs younger Australians of economic opportunity. But there is a case for optimism – provided we change planning laws to increase housing density in our major cities. On our latest podcast, Grattan housing experts Brendan Coates, Joey Moloney, and Matthew Bowes discuss their report More homes, better cities: Letting more people live where they want. Read the report: https://grattan.edu.au/report/more-homes-better-cities/

Department of Finance predicts Ireland's housing crisis could last another 15 years. Ciara and Shane discussed this further.

Ireland's housing crisis is likely to persist for at least another 15 years, according to the Department of Finance. The grim analysis was contained in Future Forty: A Fiscal and Economic Outlook to 2065. Shane discusses these findings with Dr Emma Howard, Economist at TU Dublin.

The Department of Finance has said that our housing crisis is likely to persist for at least another 15 years. Pent up demand will not be fully eliminated until at least 2040. However, this all depends on housing supply reaching sixty thousand a year by. But is this prediction that things will be better in fifteen years even realistic?Pat discusses this further with Lorcan Sirr, Senior Lecturer in Housing, TU Dublin and also Karl Deeter, Irish Mortgage Brokers.

In The Bahamas today, the word home carries tension. On one side, we hear that the country has over 25,000 vacant dwellings; on the other, there’s a growing cry that ordinary Bahamians can’t afford to live where they work and that young families are priced out of the market. So, what’s really happening? Our host Pamela Ferguson uncovers the truth behind the numbers with our economics team.

Here we go again with LA City Council's latest stroke of genius - nearly doubling construction worker minimum wages from $18 to $32.35 an hour while simultaneously crying about a housing shortage. Is anyone surprised that the same city council members who've never run a business think they can magically solve housing costs by making it twice as expensive to build? This brilliant plan covers mid-sized apartment buildings (10+ units, up to 85 feet) - exactly the housing LA desperately needs.We break down how this "workers of the world unite" mentality will drive construction companies straight out of LA to neighboring areas where labor costs half as much. Previous research already shows labor agreements increase construction costs and reduce apartment supply, but why let facts get in the way of good socialist virtue signaling? Remember when Seattle tried this with Starbucks workers? How did that work out when the stores started closing? What could possibly go wrong when you actively disincentivize the very industry you need most? Will LA's half-million new home mandate by 2029 become even more impossible?Let me know in the comments - should we just let them bump it to $50 an hour and watch the fireworks? Don't forget to subscribe for more government accountability insanity!

California is under pressure to build more homes — fast. In response to the state's housing mandates, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie is pushing a major plan to upzone parts of the city's north and west sides, allowing for tens of thousands of new homes. But some residents are concerned that housing changes will do more harm than good. Scott and Marisa talk to Jason Elliott, former housing advisor to Gov. Gavin Newsom and now president of Versus Solutions, about what's driving the state's housing mandates and how upzoning could reshape San Francisco. Plus, they discuss California's legislation on artificial intelligence and how the government should regulate AI. Check out Political Breakdown's weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox.

Affordable housing isn't just a buzzword; it's becoming a national crisis. In this solo episode, Ron Phillips breaks down the data from the Atlanta Fed's Home Ownership Affordability Monitor and reveals why the numbers tell a bigger story about government intervention, construction costs, and market imbalance. He explains how home prices, interest rates, taxes, and insurance interact to shape affordability, and why builders have stopped creating entry-level homes altogether. This episode cuts through the noise to show what's really behind the housing gap and what it means for investors.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE   How income, interest rates, and home prices combine to create unaffordability Why the “affordable” price band has nearly vanished across the U.S. Economic reasons why builders no longer construct sub-$300K homes Luxury home sales vs. entry-level housing  The impact of government regulation on construction costs and supply   RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Why It's Nearly Impossible to Build Affordable Housing in America with Brian Mertz    CONNECT WITH US: If you need help with anything in real estate, please email invest@rpcinvest.com  Reach Ron: RP Capital Leave podcast reviews and topic suggestions: iTunes Subscribe and get additional info: Get Real Estate Success Facebook Group: Cash Flow Property Facebook Community Instagram: @ronphillips_ YouTube: RpCapital Get the latest trends and insights: RP Capital Newsletter
