On this episode of The David Frum Show, The Atlantic’s David Frum
opens with reflections on the upcoming 80th anniversary of the end
of World War II and what Donald Trump’s recent statements about
“Victory Day” reveal about how America is forgetting the meaning of
peace, cooperation, and democratic leadership. Then David is joined
by Glenn Kelman, CEO of Redfin, for a candid look at the broken
state of the U.S. housing market. Kelman explains why both buyers
and sellers are miserable, how pandemic-era mortgage rates have
frozen supply, and why the next generation is increasingly stuck,
unable to buy, and often unable to move. They discuss zoning
reform, immigration, housing deterioration, and why, despite the
bleak outlook, Kelman still believes there’s hope for long-term
correction—if America can relearn how to build. Get more from your
