Coming to you from FreedomFest in Las Vegas, I talk with Founder Mark Skousen. He’s been named one of the World’s Top 20 Living Economists.

Also, an event summary with GRE Investment Coach, Naresh.

Learn about the deleterious consequences of rent control. President Joe Biden supports it (somewhat).

If four tenants live in identical fourplex units, it actually makes sense for them to pay different rent amounts. I explain.

We can construct more housing by relaxing zoning requirements in the right way—reduce off-street parking requirements, increase ADUs, no rent control, reduce minimum lawn sizes.

There’s higher homelessness in L.A., San Francisco, and Austin than Houston. Houston has a lower-cost market, few zoning requirements, and less NIMBY mindset.

Politicians run on platforms like immigration, abortion, and inflation. But they don’t run on reducing the debt because they don’t see it as a problem that they created.

At FreedomFest, I attended a presidential debate between the current candidates of the Libertarian Party, Green Party, and Constitution Party. Most or all agreed that the Fed should be abolished.

The common theme at FreedomFest was: “Government, get out of the way.”
