The 2024 presidential election is only weeks away, and housing is front and center as a campaign issue like never before, with each candidate promising they have a plan to make housing more plentiful and affordable. To break down what Trump and Harris’ campaign promises are all about, we talk to Jeb Mason, a partner at public policy consultancy Mindset, and a housing wonk like us. There are promises of down payment assistance and new homes across federal lands, but as Jeb points out, “Neither candidate is really talking about a deliberate reversal of the monetary and fiscal stimulus that got us into and exacerbated this housing affordability crisis.” And since you all are Housing Insiders, you’ll want to hear Jeb’s thoughts on the prospects for GSE reform.
