Episode description
If you've followed the past month of presidential politics – a month that might feel like a decade – you may have noticed a particular issue come up that hasn't gotten much attention from national campaigns in the past: housing.Both the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, and their vice-presidential picks, are talking about it on the stump.
We discuss why housing is a central issue in the campaign and what the federal government can do to make renting or buying a home more affordable.
