The federal government is considering declaring a housing emergency because apparently we need an emergency declaration for every problem created by government overreach. Here we go again – decades of bureaucratic nonsense, environmental virtue signaling, and blue state policies have priced out entire generations, and now they want to fix it with more government intervention. We dive into why housing costs are astronomical in Democrat-run states while Texas and Florida keep building affordable homes, how local zoning restrictions and growth management acts have strangled supply, and why blaming "rental price-fixing software" is peak government delusion. From California's mandatory fridge laws to Washington's rent control schemes, we expose how politicians who claim to help consumers end up crushing them with costs. Is anyone surprised that markets with the most regulations have the least affordable housing? What happens when bureaucrats try to micromanage capitalism? Can a federal emergency declaration actually move the needle, or is this just political theater while families flee to states that understand basic economics? Drop your thoughts below – are you stuck in an overpriced blue state nightmare, or have you already voted with your feet?
