In this episode of American Potential, host Jeff Crank speaks with Shawn Woods, a Kansas City builder, about the unintended consequences of the city’s adoption of new energy standards tied to funds from the Inflation Reduction Act. Woods explains how these regulations have significantly increased the cost of building homes, pushing prices higher and making homeownership less attainable for first-time buyers. Additionally, the new standards have slowed down the approval process for building plans, creating further delays and complications for builders and buyers alike.
Woods also sheds light on the broader implications of government intervention in the housing market, arguing that these regulations often do more harm than good by imposing unnecessary costs on consumers. He urges local governments and citizens to stay informed and involved, emphasizing the importance of making decisions that truly reflect the needs of the community rather than the pressures of outside interest groups. This episode is a crucial listen for anyone concerned about the future of affordable housing and the impact of government policies on homeownership.
