This chapter explores the critical role of community involvement in local politics, especially in issues related to housing development and homelessness. It highlights the importance of local dialogues to counter negative perceptions and introduces a new book and podcast that enrich the discussion on these pressing topics.

America is in the middle of a massive housing crisis, with a shortage of 4 to 7 million homes compared to the demand. The solution seems simple—just build more homes—but getting there is a lot trickier than it sounds. This week, Adam sits down with journalist Jerusalem Demsas, author of On the Housing Crisis: Land, Development, Democracy, to break down the real reasons behind the housing shortage and explore what we can actually do to get more people into homes.
