Kamala Harris has promised to build 3 million homes, provide $25,000 to first-time homebuyers, and offer new tax incentives for starter homes. Alicia Summers speaks with Jim Burling, a property rights expert with 40 years of experience in litigation, who argues that the housing shortage is due to a long history of government policies, court rulings, and regulations that have undermined private property rights, making it harder to meet market demand. In California, despite billions spent on homelessness, the issue has worsened. These challenges are explored in Burling's new book, "Nowhere to Live: The Hidden Story of America's Housing Crisis."
