If you have been watching housing prices and wondering whether the new executive order restricting institutional investors is the fix everyone is hoping for, you are not alone. The frustration is real, and the concern for affordability is legitimate.
In this episode of Financial Commute, Chris Galeski sits down with Mikey Taylor, Mayor of Thousand Oaks and CEO of Commune Capital, to examine what the data actually says about who owns single-family homes, why the ban on institutions is unlikely to move the needle on prices, and what the real barrier to housing affordability in California looks like.
