America’s housing crisis is hitting hard—and it’s not just first-time buyers feeling the squeeze. On this episode of the Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor is joined by real estate developer and policy expert Michael Burkentine to break down why homeownership is slipping out of reach for millions of Americans.

From skyrocketing home prices to a severe housing supply shortage, Tudor and Michael explore the real reasons behind today’s affordability crisis. They dive into how government regulations, zoning restrictions, and costly red tape are slowing down new construction and driving prices higher—sometimes adding tens of thousands of dollars to the cost of a single home.

The conversation also tackles generational shifts in spending, the challenges young buyers face, and the growing gap between wages and home prices. Plus, they discuss potential solutions—from cutting regulations to incentivizing new development—and what it will take to make housing more accessible again.

If you’ve wondered why homes are so expensive, why inventory is so low, and what policymakers can actually do about it, this episode breaks it all down.
