With Homeownership Out of Reach, Some Are Choosing to Rent Forever

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

We hear from WSJ personal finance reporter Veronica Dagher about the rise of the "forever renter" and what it means for the future of housing and the American Dream. And the Supreme Court handed down a number of big decisions today. Supreme Court reporter James Romoser says two of them enable President Trump’s crackdown on immigration. Plus, reporter Kejal Vyas gives us an update on Venezuela, where the death toll is rising after yesterday’s earthquakes. Alex Ossola hosts.
