Original: Support Starter Homes, Not Looser Lending or Financial Fixes

Instead, the author calls for policies that expand the supply of affordable starter homes for first-time buyers, saying looser lending risks repeating the mistakes that fueled past housing crises.
Why now: Housing affordability and access to first homes is a pressing policy debate in the United States.
