Kahlenberg for The Hill: Will ‘Good Trump’ or ‘Bad Trump’ prevail on housing?

  • December 19, 2024
  • Richard D. Kahlenberg

Anger about inflation was a central driver of Donald Trump’s election, which is part of why housing policy will be so important in the next administration. For most Americans, housing costs represent their single biggest household expense, and those costs have been rising rapidly.

What will Donald Trump and his new nominee to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development, former NFL football player and Texas State legislator Scott Turner, do to address the issue?

The answer is wide open. In the first administration, there was a struggle between a “Good Trump,” who wanted to take steps to build more housing, and a “Bad Trump,” who endorsed Not in My Backyard or “NIMBY” forces. Both had their moments in Trump’s first go around, and there will be a battle over which prevails in the second.

Keep reading in The Hill.
