    Er, what? Maybe it’s not relevant in every single location, but it’s definitely relevant for most of us right now. House prices in my area have almost doubled in the last 4-5 years, and rents are up similarly. Maybe it shouldn’t have to be relevant, but it definitely currently is. Even when zoning policies change, it can take years to have a meaningful impact on housing availability or prices because it takes time to build units or convert existing buildings.

      This is a conversation about federal policies, making home prices - which are controlled locally - not relevant to the discussion.

      Not sure what you’re missing here. Biden can’t go into every town and change local government.
