As Atlanta's population swells and wages don't keep-up wtih housing costs, state lawmakers talk rent control under the Gold Dome

On this week's Political Breakfast, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and Atlanta Civic Circle Director Saba Long discuss Atlanta's housing crisis. Wages have not grown with housing costs. There's also an overall scarcity on the market. Are rent control and restrictions on landowners the solution? Or is it building more housing? With Atlanta's population expected to grow to around eight million people by 2050, Democrats and Republicans are now taking up the issue under the Gold Dome. Democrat Donzella James introduced Senate Bill 125 earlier this month. It would allow local cities and counties to set their own rates. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
