The Housing Game Is Fixed

Drawing on Cameron Murray’s The Great Housing Hijack, we unravel how modern housing markets are structured to protect banks, and developers — not buyers or renters.We break down the hidden “absorption rate” that slows construction on purpose, the political impossibility of cutting $3 trillion in homeowner wealth, and the media incentives that keep the panic cycle alive. If solving the crisis would hurt the majority of voters, is it any wonder that nothing changes?Finally, we explore a radical alternative.If you’ve ever wondered why building more homes doesn’t lower prices — this episode connects the dots.From complaints about rents to modern-day developers drip-feeding supply, this episode unpacks a provocative thesis: the housing system isn’t broken — it’s working exactly as designed.
