#360 The Real Agenda Behind Rent Control and Social Housing

February 2, 2026

Rent control is often sold as an affordability solution, but that's not what this movement is really about. In this solo episode, Ron Phillips breaks down recent statements from New York City housing leadership that openly frame rent control as a tool to destroy asset value and weaken the real estate industry. Ron explains why this isn't about helping renters, how government price-setting undermines private property rights, and why these ideas aren't confined to big coastal cities. He also shares what investors and homeowners can do now to protect wealth and maintain control in an increasingly politicized housing landscape.

 

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE  

  • How "social housing" reframes housing away from wealth building

  • The difference between market pricing and government price setting

  • Reasons why local and state elections matter more than most people realize

  • Main impacts of rent stabilization on private property rights

  • Why affordability problems aren't caused by landlords or investors

#359 Should You Use Your 401(k) to Buy a House?

January 26, 2026

Bold ideas are flying around Washington, but not all of them solve the real problem. In this episode, Ron Phillips breaks down a proposed plan to allow Americans to use their 401(k) funds to buy a home.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE  

  • What the proposal to use 401(k) funds for home purchases actually allows

  • How 401(k) loans already exist—and why this idea may not be better

  • The difference between personal residences and self-directed real estate investing
