The Fight for Affordable Housing

from WSJ What’s News · host The Wall Street Journal

A.M. Edition for June 22. U.K prime minister Keir Starmer resigns as his potential successor says he wants to save Britain from U.S. style politics. Plus, peace talks continue in Switzerland as Iran and the U.S. agree to create a mechanism to ensure the termination of military operations in Lebanon. And the great American housing shortage is forcing a search for solutions. In the first part of our new series, Luke Vargas and WSJ’s Rebecca Picciotto dive into the persistent zoning tug-of-war pitting "Not In My Backyard" politics against "Yes In My Backyard" advocates pushing for more construction.
