Imagine if we could save the American Dream for a generation in crisis-if only we'd dare to think outside the box. Why have so many millennials not bought their first home yet? For the first time in generations, the American Dream-in particular, homeownership-is becoming less and less achievable for the average young adult. Those who came of age around the financial crash of 2008 have struggled to find adequate employment and affordable housing, often finding their wages eaten up in high rent payments that prohibit saving for a down payment on that elusive first home. The lack of reasonable starter homes at the bottom of the housing ladder is reaching crisis proportions, making our communities less stable, secure, and prosperous. Drawing on extensive experience from a decades-long, successful career in real estate, Tony Bonitati lays out a compelling case for a long-overdue national discussion about the financial future of our country through the lens of home-buying. In Radical Housing Solutions: A Plan to Fix America's Housing Crisis, Tony offers a comprehensive survey of the problems and solutions introduced in his introductory volume, 11 Radical Housing Solutions. In Radical Housing Solutions, you will discover: - Why our nation's housing is in crisis and how we got here - Why entrenched attitudes and expectations about housing need to give place to new thinking - 11 radical solutions that can solve this massive problem and benefit all generations of Americans - How the government can help, not hinder, the opportunity for affordable housing for all - A 10-year timeline to systematically implement a thorough plan for positive change There is still time for Americans to come together with creativity, courage, and wisdom to turn a would-be crisis into a huge cultural shift in our expectations and choices about housing. Join the conversation by diving into Radical Housing Solutions today-and learn how you can help reshape our national future!

As housing supply in England reaches crisis point, Duncan Bowie provides a critical review of housing policy under successive UK governments. From Blair’s New Labour and Cameron’s Coalition government to the 2016 Housing and Planning Act, Bowie demonstrates how successive governments have failed to provide adequate, affordable housing, leading to a chronic lack of provision. Exploring the inter-relationship between housing, planning and land policies, Bowie puts forward a reform programme based on an alternative set of policy priorities and delivery mechanisms, arguing the case for an integrated approach on land, taxation, planning and public investment to provide radical solutions to a growing crisis.

"Rebuilding a Dream" takes a refreshingly positive view of a difficult and seemingly intractable problem that affects millions of Americans: The increasing scarcity of housing we can afford. This hard-hitting book explains why media reports that America's housing crisis has ended are wildly misleading. Many people - especially lower-income groups but also the middle class - face an ever-increasing gap between what they can afford to pay for a home or apartment and what it costs to obtain one. This books explains why this gap will get steadily worse unless our elected officials stop working against housing affordability and start supporting it. It explains how the foreclosure crisis continues to have a devastating impact on minority communities, spawning a new wave of urban (and increasingly suburban) decay. It shows how the housing problems of lower income groups tie directly to the growth of income inequality and the resurgence of racial and economic segregation, hurting our economic and social stability. But "Rebuilding a Dream" also delivers the good news that all these problems can be solved. It explains how the dream of homeownership and the upward mobility it brings can be restored - and how we can resume progress toward Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of equal opportunity in housing. The book reports on the progress that has been made since the tumultuous days 50 years ago, when dozens of cities exploded in violent riots and Congress enacted a wide array of government housing and community development programs. This book shows that many of the programs enacted back then and in subsequent years have succeeded in transforming neighborhoods and improving millions of lives. Great innovations in community development are underway, including plans to better link housing and transportation to provide for greater environmental as well as economic sustainability. The book describes how veterans, homeless families and lonely elders have had their lives transformed, and even saved, by government housing programs (contrary to a concerted right-wing campaign to paint all such programs as failures.) But, while these programs are more important than ever, they are also under a full-scale political attack. Advocates of budget austerity (and extremists with an "us vs. them" agenda) have forced deep cuts in spending for housing and urban programs, including elimination of housing construction for poor elders, among other things. With more cuts threatened under the new Republican-controlled Congress, the book warns, much of the progress of the last 50 years is being lost each year. "Rebuilding a Dream" calls for a new political consensus to reinvest in those programs and reverse the recent budget cuts and program eliminations. It calls for a new resolve to address the shameful reality that there are over 1.6 million children who are homeless in America, and many more whose families are barely able to pay their rent. Finally, the book explains how regular citizens can get involved and join the effort to get housing markets back in the business of provide affordable options and making sure governments have good, proactive housing policies.

How can urban housing, and the land underneath, now account for half of all global wealth? According to Patrick Condon, the simple answer is that land has become an asset rather than a utility. If the rich only indulged themselves with gold, jewels, and art, we wouldn’t have a global housing crisis. But once global capital markets realized land was a good speculative investment, runaway housing costs ensued. In just one city, Vancouver, land prices increased by 600 percent between 2008 and 2016. How much wealth have investors extracted from urban land? In this engaging, readable, and clearly reasoned treatise, Patrick Condon explains how we have let land, our most durable resource, shift away from the common good – and proposes bold strategies that cities in North America could use to shift it back.

An earth-shaking reimagining of household debt that opens up a new path to financial security for all Americans. American households have a debt problem. The problem is not, as often claimed, that Americans recklessly take on too much debt. The problem is that US debt policies have no basis in reality. Weaving together the histories and trends of US debt policy with her own family story, Chrystin Ondersma debunks the myths that have long governed debt policy, like the belief that debt leads to prosperity or the claim that bad debt is the result of bad choices, both of which nest in the overarching myth of a free market unhindered by government interference and accessible to all. In place of these stale narratives, Ondersma offers a compelling, flexible, and reality-based taxonomy rooted in the internationally recognized principle of human dignity. Ondersma’s new categories of debt—grounded in abolitionist principles—revolutionize how policymakers are able to think about debt, which will in turn revolutionize the American debt landscape itself.

A stunning book about how America’s biggest cities are being destroyed by progressive policies and woke Democrats. Many Americans have no idea how badly our largest, Democrat-run cities have deteriorated. We've been complacent for far too long, assuming that the craziest elements of the radical Left would stay confined to the East and West coasts. But crime, drug addiction, homelessness, left-wing school indoctrination, so-called inclusive housing policies, and outrageous taxes don’t stay within the big city limits of places like Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, New York, Seattle, and San Francisco. The effects of ideologically driven left-wing policies always spread, which should alarm Americans regardless of their political leanings. Jason Rantz is a prominent radio host, a trusted journalist, and a frequent Fox News guest unafraid to go directly into the action. He’s grown a national following by breaking news the mainstream media won’t, covering the consequences of destructive leftist policies wherever they occur. He was right there for the chaos in his hometown of Seattle when liberal anarchists declared an autonomous, police-free “CHOP Zone.” He infiltrates the Antifa marches and knows firsthand how those radicals operate. This is the shocking story of what he’s learned. Employing on-the-ground reporting and fact-based analysis, Rantz zooms out to conduct a fascinating detailed, data-driven study of how these liberal policies result in chaos, misery, and (too often) bloodshed. He skillfully recounts the tragic events with a narrative reporter's eye for detail to tell the true story of what's happening in America's cities.
