On this episode of Taxpayer Empowerment, TPPF’s Jose Melendez is joined by Ed Pinto, Senior Fellow and Co-Director of the AEI Housing Center at the American Enterprise Institute, to break down the housing affordability crisis in Texas and across the United States.
Jose and Ed discuss how government housing policies, zoning restrictions, and market distortions have made the American Dream of homeownership increasingly out of reach for working families. The conversation explores practical solutions, including free-market housing reforms, zoning reform, and policy changes that can help restore affordability and expand access to homeownership.
