About this episode

President Trump has unveiled a new plan to ramp up domestic timber production by cutting environmental regulations and exploring tariffs on foreign lumber imports. The goal? Lower housing costs and boost American manufacturing. But will it work? In this episode, we break down how increased logging could impact home prices, construction costs, and the broader housing market. We’ll also dive into the environmental concerns, the role of Canada in the U.S. lumber supply, and what this policy shift means for builders, investors, and homebuyers. Is this a solution to the housing crisis—or a short-sighted move with unintended consequences? Let’s get into it.
