Housing costs have exploded across the United States and everyone seems to have a scapegoat in mind. Some blame BlackRock. Others blame immigrants. Still others blame boomers who “refuse to downsize.” But none of these explanations get us close to the real answer. If you want to know what caused the housing affordability crisis, you have to look at the one actor powerful enough to restrict supply everywhere at once: the government.

In this episode of the Libertarian Christian Podcast, David Rand takes us through the deeper structural causes of the crisis and explains why the United States went from a property‑rights‑based land system to a managerial, centrally planned regime that chokes off new housing. The result is predictable: scarcity, skyrocketing prices, and a generation locked out of home ownership.

Rand is the president and CEO of the Land Liberty Movement, a new national nonprofit working to rebuild the American Dream by restoring property rights, and the freedom to build. He also produces content for Build the Dream, a Substack that explores housing policy. You can also find him on X @David_Rand_
