The U.S Didn’t Run Out of Land — So Why Did Housing Stop Being Built?

Описание: The U.S. Didn’t Run Out of Land — Permission Did.
This video explains why America’s housing crisis is a supply problem by design.

The United States didn’t suddenly run out of land.
Builders didn’t forget how to build homes.
Yet for decades, housing construction failed to keep up with demand — especially near jobs and opportunity.

In this breakdown, we explain how zoning laws, local politics, and regulatory barriers quietly froze housing supply, turning homes from something that responded to demand into something you have to fight to get approved.

🏠 The data reveals a structural failure:
• Housing construction per capita peaked in the early 1970s
• Large parts of U.S. cities are restricted to single-family housing
• Approval delays and uncertainty raise costs and limit supply
• The “missing middle” was regulated out of existence
• High prices no longer bring more housing — only more resistance

This isn’t a temporary shortage or a bubble waiting to pop.
It’s a system that protects asset values while limiting access — benefiting those already inside, while pushing costs onto renters and younger generations.
