Friday Interview: Affordable Housing Policies

RALEIGH — It sounds like a really good idea: cities and towns across North Carolina build affordable housing to help ensure more people can realize the American dream of home ownership. Michael Sanera, the John Locke Foundation’s research director and local government analyst, says local government leaders who really want to help people with affordable housing should actually just get rid of their affordable housing policies. Sanera co-authored a recent report on the topic. He explained the findings in an interview with Donna Martinez for Carolina Journal Radio.
