Summary

It’s not just you. Housing affordability is getting worse. Marketplace’s Amy Scott, who covers housing, is here for a news fix on the state of the market. Plus, the economy is giving us bad vibes, and so is the Supreme Court. Then, would you like to sleep in a giant windowless (fake) potato, or what about a submarine? Finally, why Airbnb listings are about to get wild.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol from the House of Representatives
“Confidence in U.S. Supreme Court Sinks to Historic Low” from Gallup
“Homebuyer affordability worsens in May amid inflation, higher mortgage rates” from HousingWire
“Keyword Searches Around ‘Recession’ and ‘Bear Market’ on the Rise” from Similarweb Blog
“Airbnb Is Giving Away $10 Million to Build the ‘Craziest Places on Earth’” from Bloomberg
“When a U.S. swimmer sank to the bottom of the pool, her coach jumped in to save her” from NPR

Join us tomorrow for Economics on Tap. We’ll be on the YouTube livestream starting at 6:30 ET/3:30 PT. We’ll have more news, drinks and a game!
