It solves nothing — and may make the housing crisis worse.In this episode, we break down:• Why subsidizing housing always pushes prices higher• How federal grants and loan programs distort local markets• The real issue with corporate ownership of single-family homes• Why tax policy — not subsidies — is the real lever to discourage corporate home buying• Why Washington has no business dictating zoning in local communities• How new federal powers could let the Treasury reshape housing markets nationwide• And the real reason housing supply stays tight: bad incentives in the tax code
