Is it policy or? Ep.91

from Drive Time with Matt Hosted by Matt Smith

Are America’s biggest cities becoming too expensive, too regulated, and too dependent on government programs? In this episode of Drive Time, Matt takes a hard look at the growing divide between progressive-run cities and more conservative, business-friendly states. From rising housing costs and overregulation to taxes, personal responsibility, and economic freedom, this conversation dives into the question many Americans are already asking: Are we regulating ourselves out of opportunity? Matt breaks down why some cities continue to attract businesses and growth while others struggle with affordability and frustration — and why many voters are starting to question whether bigger government actually delivers better results. This episode isn’t just about politics. It’s about outcomes, accountability, and the real-world impact policy has on everyday people trying to work, build, and get ahead.
