In the episode “How to Repair America’s Broken Housing System” from Vox Media’s The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway, Dr. Jenny Schuetz, Arnold Ventures’ vice president of infrastructure for housing, discusses the systemic issues plaguing the U.S. housing market and explores potential solutions. She delves into the economic, policy, and zoning challenges that make housing unaffordable for many Americans, focusing on how local zoning laws and regulatory hurdles have stifled the creation of affordable housing. Dr. Schuetz emphasizes the need for reforms in land use policies, state and federal intervention to incentivize better housing practices, and more streamlined community engagement to ensure accessibility for low- and middle-income families.
