Why Is Housing So Expensive? The Policies Making It Worse

Why is housing so expensive in America, and are some of the policies intended to help actually adding to the cost?

This Thursday on *From the Rooftops*, Leigh Brown digs into a remarkable week of housing headlines: America's housing shortage, capital gains taxes, the slowdown in home improvement spending, challenges facing builders during hurricane season, and the latest court decision involving the National Association of REALTORS® antitrust settlements.

We'll look at the bigger question behind all of them:

What is actually driving the cost of housing?

We'll also talk about what these developments mean for homeowners, home buyers, builders and real estate professionals.

Bring your questions and your opinions. I read the comments, and you know I'm willing to talk about the parts of real estate everybody else would rather avoid.
