Gen Z is 'in the thick' of high housing costs. These candidates aim to solve it

Gen Z candidates from both parties in Connecticut and Montana are running for office with housing affordability as a central issue. They cite record-high rent and home prices, a chronic housing shortage, and their own experiences as renters or young buyers. Proposals include denser zoning, renter protections, and tax breaks for starter-home developers, with some pointing to bipartisan models in states like Texas and Montana.
