Vice President Kamala Harris pledged to build 3 million new homes and criticized "corporate landlords" who use software to dictate rent prices, emphasizing the need for affordable housing.
Harris aims to "cut red tape" in housing production by addressing restrictive zoning and regulations that delay building, which she believes is exacerbating housing costs.
Although Harris’ target of 3 million homes is ambitious, estimates suggest the national housing shortfall may be between 4 and 7 million homes, raising concerns about feasibility.
While specific strategies for influencing local governments were not detailed, the Biden administration has recently announced new funding for localities adopting pro-housing policies, indicating a supportive federal role.
