Bruce Katz, Brookings vice president and founding director of the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program, on US housing policy and recommendations for the Obama Administration.
Come on!!! Geez, Andrea: "Who's to blame?" "Who's got more cachet?" Why are we hearing simplistic time-wasting questions like this? We need thoughtful ideas; as much as Katz may have been falling in easily with Obama ideas it would have been gratifiying to have thoughtful alternative ideas to challenge them. So often NPR hosts frustratingly say "in 30 seconds, please try to answer this question: who's to blame for X, Y, or Z?" If that's all we have, can't we *please* aggregate them into questions needing--and getting--thoughtful answers?

Wow, way to hammer on an unnecessary nail. Katz didn't want to point the finger, did that really need to be 45 seconds?

there's too much housing in the unsustainable sprawl with the price of oil no one can afford to live so far from work.
