Episode Synopsis

In Episode 2 of The Project Middle Podcast, we dig into one of the most pressing issues facing the middle class: housing. How has the cost of owning a home changed over the last 50 years? What’s driving today’s unprecedented housing surges—from foreign investment to the rise of corporate landlords? We examine whether homeownership, once a cornerstone of the American dream, is still within reach for the average American. Plus, we explore potential solutions to ease the squeeze, from zoning reform to new models of home ownership.
