In this episode of Everybody Gets Pie, we are joined by Neera Tanden, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress and former Domestic Policy Advisor to President Joe Biden. Neera reflects candidly on her time in public service, the lessons of the Biden administration, and why Democrats must be ruthless about solving real problems, and especially on housing and affordability.

We cover:
•⁠  ⁠How housing location shapes life outcomes
•⁠  ⁠The tension between inclusionary zoning and housing supply
•⁠  ⁠Why renters didn’t feel relief fast enough
•⁠  ⁠Lessons from serving inside the Biden White House
•⁠  ⁠Why permitting reform stalled for housing and clean energy
•⁠  ⁠Supply vs. intervention—and why both matter
•⁠  ⁠Why “bad answers” often beat “no answers” in politics
