Economist and AEI research fellow Arthur Gailes joins Federal Newswire Lunch Hour host Andrew Langer to tackle America’s housing crisis head-on. From the politics of NIMBYism to the promise of AI in public-policy analysis, Gailes breaks down how restrictive zoning, local resistance, and federal inaction have fueled runaway housing prices — and how bold ideas like “Freedom Cities” on under-used federal land could offer a way forward. If you care about property rights, affordable housing, or how data and policy can work together, this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.
