Real estate industry advocates have long concentrated their efforts at the federal and state levels, but AEI Senior Fellow Ed Pinto said the county and municipal governments often hold the keys to meaningful change while speaking with October Research Chief Knowledge Officer Mary Schuster on the Keys to Real Estate podcast.
