Wall Street Journal Touts NAHB Policy Priorities in Video Featuring Jim Tobin
The Wall Street Journal agrees with NAHB’s most important policy priorities in a recent video exploring solutions to the housing affordability crisis featuring an interview with NAHB CEO Jim Tobin and direct comments from both candidates for president.
Positioned as an explainer on the differences in the housing platforms of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, the seven-minute video goes much further and clearly articulates many of the policy recommendations laid out in NAHB’s Blueprint to Address the Housing Affordability Crisis.
That is no mistake as The Wall Street Journal spent hours at NAHB headquarters a few weeks ago for Tobin’s interview and was provided with an in-depth look at the blueprint. The final video offers many of the same solutions as laid out in NAHB’s plan, with a heavy focus on regulatory and zoning obstacles at the state and local level.
Watch the video below and help us keep housing in the forefront during the transition to a new administration and Congress. For help voting for housing today, go to nahb.org/vote.
