Joe Weisenthal: 我认为目前住房负担能力问题变得非常突出，几乎影响到所有事情。民主党内部对住房负担能力的解决方案存在分歧，包括自由主义的增加供应观点。住房负担能力危机主要存在于纽约和旧金山等媒体集中的城市，这些地方是世界上最好的，所以人们愿意为之付出高价。泽西城在住房建设方面是近年来全美表现最好的城市之一。 Tracy Alloway: 我认为住房负担能力似乎是一个两党都关心的问题。实现住房负担能力的目标很明确，但可用的手段非常复杂，让人难以选择。 Steven Fulop: 我坚信市场价格住房对每个人都有好处，增加供应可以降低整体房价。市场价格住房和经济适用房同样重要，必须协同工作才能成功。泽西城的住房存量在过去十年中增加了约25%，并且一直是新泽西州的经济支柱。我一直非常支持增长，泽西城的天际线变化证明了这一点。新泽西州面临约20万套住房的短缺，而经济适用房的年产量仅为约3000套。各个市政府对住房生产的结果拥有过多的控制权，州长需要改变这种状况。泽西城已经成为我们自身成功的受害者，也是纽约缺乏建设的受害者。如果要有一个区域性的解决方案，纽约，特别是曼哈顿，需要承担起自己的责任。

Shownotes Transcript

To some extent, at least in big cities, it feels as though the cost of housing is enveloping almost everything else in terms of politics right now. Booming areas that drive GDP have gotten incredibly expensive in large part thanks to rent, and even the well paid residents are forced to turn over a significant share of their income over to their landlord. So can anything be done about it? Can rent come down by liberalizing supply and making it easier to build? And can that scale? And what about developers that only want to build luxury-rate housing? On this episode of the podcast, we speak to Steven Fulop, the mayor of Jersey City, which sits directly across the river from NYC. Fulop is a candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination for governor and he says his time in office in Jersey City proves cities can turn the dial on housing supply. We talk about why Jersey City has added so much to its housing stock, what can be attributed to his policies, and what he thinks can be accomplished at the state level both in terms of housing and improving public infrastructure.
