Obama Champions Housing Reform at DNC

Former president endorses Kamala Harris' bold plan to tackle housing crisis through increased construction and regulatory changes.

Obama's speech marks a significant shift towards YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) policies within the Democratic Party.
Harris' plan aims to build 3 million new homes by the end of her first term, addressing the national housing shortage.
The proposal includes cutting red tape, offering downpayment assistance, and cracking down on corporate landlords.
Housing affordability is a critical issue for voters, with bipartisan concern over high prices and limited supply.
Republican responses to the housing crisis differ significantly, with some advocating for deregulation and others for restrictive measures.
