Why do we as a society keep building more and more housing for people who already have the most options, all the while we are forcing people who most need housing to scramble amidst shortage?

0:00.0	Hi everyone, this is Curtis Chang and if you are a listener living in the Washington DC area,
0:06.3	I have a special invitation for you. I am going to be in DC recording a good faith live episode
0:14.1	on Tuesday, September 5th. That's Tuesday, September 5th in Washington DC at the AEI Auditorium.
0:23.1	That's at 1789 Massachusetts Avenue in Washington DC and I will be speaking with Yuvall Levin,
0:32.0	a renowned scholar on the institutions and we'll be talking about anxiety and institutions.
0:37.2	Two of my favorite topics and I would love to have some of those who are listening to good faith
0:43.9	come out and join us as be part of the live audience and come meet me afterwards. One of the things
