Book excerpt: Imagine if we could save the American Dream for a generation in crisis-if only we'd dare to think outside the box. Why have so many millennials not bought their first home yet? For the first time in generations, the American Dream-in particular, homeownership-is becoming less and less achievable for the average young adult. Those who came of age around the financial crash of 2008 have struggled to find adequate employment and affordable housing, often finding their wages eaten up in high rent payments that prohibit saving for a down payment on that elusive first home. The lack of reasonable starter homes at the bottom of the housing ladder is reaching crisis proportions, making our communities less stable, secure, and prosperous. Drawing on extensive experience from a decades-long, successful career in real estate, Tony Bonitati lays out a compelling case for a long-overdue national discussion about the financial future of our country through the lens of home-buying. In Radical Housing Solutions: A Plan to Fix America's Housing Crisis, Tony offers a comprehensive survey of the problems and solutions introduced in his introductory volume, 11 Radical Housing Solutions. In Radical Housing Solutions, you will discover: - Why our nation's housing is in crisis and how we got here - Why entrenched attitudes and expectations about housing need to give place to new thinking - 11 radical solutions that can solve this massive problem and benefit all generations of Americans - How the government can help, not hinder, the opportunity for affordable housing for all - A 10-year timeline to systematically implement a thorough plan for positive change There is still time for Americans to come together with creativity, courage, and wisdom to turn a would-be crisis into a huge cultural shift in our expectations and choices about housing.
