"The Intersection of Housing Market Dysfunction and Political Polarization in America"

Aziz Sunderji's analysis reveals a stark political divide between homeowners and renters in America, with homeowners being twice as likely to identify as strongly Republican and renters more likely to identify as strongly Democrat. This divide has been growing over the past few decades, with homeowners shifting to the right and renters swinging sharply to the left. The polarization is attributed to factors such as the affordability of housing in urban areas, the influence of generational preferences, and the broader cultural and political polarization in the country. This divide in the housing market is merging with America's polarized political culture, further exacerbating existing societal divisions.
