America's Building Crisis: Can We Fix It?

The Urgent Need for Infrastructure

America faces a critical challenge: the need to build more. Not just any structures, but essential ones—energy solutions, improved transportation, and affordable homes. This isn't a new issue, but it's becoming increasingly urgent. A recent project aims to tackle this problem head-on.

The Project: Faster and Better

The initiative focuses on accelerating and improving America's building capabilities. It's not just about identifying problems but also finding solutions. Key areas of exploration include:

• Modernizing the electricity grid to enhance supply and efficiency.
• Speeding up transportation projects to keep pace with demand.
• Addressing the housing shortage by building more homes.

Independent and Multifaceted Approach

Supported by a grant but operating independently, the team plans to cover this topic through various mediums:

• Articles delving into the nuances of the issue.
• Podcasts featuring experts and thought leaders.
• Live events to foster discussion and engagement.
• A newsletter to keep the public informed.

Initial Findings and Future Plans

The first part of the project is already available, exploring why America stopped prioritizing growth and why it must resume. The second part, scheduled for 2026, will examine international examples of successful infrastructure development and what America can learn from them.

Engaging the Public

The project aims to spark a national conversation about the importance of building more and better. From lawmakers to everyday citizens, everyone needs to understand the stakes and the solutions.
