Not 'bull' on hockey, yet; how I-Buyers made our housing problem worse

from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts

We've been hearing a lot of guff lately over dueling development proposals - one in Forsyth, the other in Alpharetta - with professional hockey arenas as centerpieces. Well, there seems to have been movement (literally) putting either or both on hold or providing some doubt for the near term. Governor Brian Kemp is getting ahead of everyone and crapping on any notion of potential Medicaid expansion in 2025, despite his alternative program spending most of its $26 million (so far) on administrative bloat and covering less than 1% of eligible Georgians. They don't get more stubborn than that guy. Private equity firms are (and have been) snapping up homes in Georgia in big chunks. In fact, a study showed that the peach state is the most "at-risk" for such investment purchases, and that's putting a pinch on individuals and families looking to buy. How can these "i-buyers" be tamed? Folks on the left and right are crediting Speaker Mike Johnson for rebuffing right wing radicals and finally funding Ukrainian war efforts, but his hypocritical gamesmanship months ago puts blood on his hands, too. Rep. Rose DeLauro (D-Connecticut) gave 'em all hell, and I'm a bigger DeLauro fan today than I already was before.
