For many millennials, buying a home has become almost entirely
out of reach. Average 30-year mortgage rates are hovering around
7 percent — the highest they’ve been since 2007 — largely because
of the Federal Reserve’s efforts to tame inflation.

David Leonhardt, a senior writer for The New York Times,

vs. renting.

Guest: David Leonhardt, a senior writer for The New York Times.
