Why Americans Can’t Find Starter Homes - Zoning Rules Restrict Contractors (Video)
In this 8 January 2026 video, host Michael Bordenaro talks about how Americans struggle to find starter homes due to a combination of restrictive local zoning, high land and construction costs, and builder incentives that favor larger, more profitable luxury homes, coupled with intense competition from institutional investors buying up entry-level properties.
Zoning laws often mandate large lots and discourage smaller, denser housing, while fixed development costs (permits, infrastructure) make building tiny homes less viable than building bigger ones. This creates a severe shortage of affordable, smaller homes, pushing prices up and leaving first-time buyers with fewer options, especially as investors convert potential starter homes into rentals.
