    Don't Get Political #6: Matt Mayberry

    In Episode #6 of Don't Get Political, we sit down with Matt Mayberry, CEO of the New Hampshire Home Builders Association. New Hampshire is facing a major housing challenge — from affordability and a lack of available homes to permitting, zoning, workforce development, and the rising costs of construction. Matt is at the center of many of those conversations, representing the state's residential building industry and advocating for policies that can help create more housing opportunities across the Granite State. We talk about the state of housing in New Hampshire, why it can be so difficult and expensive to build, the policies that affect home builders and developers, workforce housing, and what needs to happen to make housing more attainable for New Hampshire residents. Matt also brings years of experience in New Hampshire politics, government, real estate, and development to the conversation, giving him a unique perspective on both the political and economic sides of the state's housing crisis. What is actually driving the cost of housing in New Hampshire? What can lawmakers do about it? And can the state build its way out of the housing shortage?
