In this episode of American Potential, David From sits down with Michigan realtor Anna Louise to explore the real barriers facing today’s housing market. Drawing from her firsthand experience, Anna breaks down how local zoning laws, rising regulatory costs, and outdated policies are limiting new development, blocking innovative housing solutions, and making it harder for families—young and old—to find a place to call home. From rural townships to growing communities, Anna shares how “one-size-fits-all” rules often miss the mark—and why empowering local solutions, alongside smart state and federal reforms, is key to expanding opportunity. She also offers practical ideas for how we can restore affordability, flexibility, and a clearer path to homeownership.","meta_description":"Why is homeownership slipping further out of reach for so many Americans?
