A recent analysis by Realtor.com®, published by News Corporation, reveals that unlocking federal land for housing development offers limited relief to the national housing shortage, particularly as most federal land is concentrated in the West, while acute housing shortages persist in the Northeast. The report highlights that building 4 million homes would require 10 million acres of land. This approach may provide localized solutions but fails to address the broader housing crisis. Realtor.com® emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy, including easing zoning restrictions, promoting missing-middle housing, and investing in infrastructure and transit. These measures aim to unlock land near jobs, schools, and amenities, aligning housing supply with demand. The initiative, part of Realtor.com®'s "Let America Build" campaign, calls for pro-housing policies to eliminate red tape and modernize outdated regulations to improve affordability for Americans.
