Podcast: When affordable housing hits home

Taxpayers, not homebuyers, should be subsidizing under-market price housing.. Everything's a crisis.
Proposed six-story condo on residential side street.

I try to check myself from falling into knee-jerk NIMYism. NIMBY suggests someone in favor of some policy, like clean energy, but, “Oh don’t put a windmill farm where I can see it.” In this case, I’m not a proponent of privately subsidized affordable housing anywhere. Let the taxpayers choose to fund programs to subsidize housing. There are such programs. I’ll support those.
