经济学家表示，纽瑟姆在住房政策上的转变表明民主党正逐渐“接受现实”
传统基金会经济学家彼得·圣翁奇指出，加州州长纽瑟姆正在采纳长期以来自由市场经济学家倡导的住房改革方案，但他质疑加州能否克服其监管壁垒。

作为潜在的2028年民主党总统候选人，加州州长加文·纽瑟姆将住房负担能力作为其议程的核心议题，着手解决住房成本高企的问题——他抓住了这个曾让民主党在政治上失分的议题，并在中期选举前与唐纳德·特朗普总统的部分放松监管的住房政策达成了趋同。
纽瑟姆近期在加州推出的最重要的住房改革措施早于特朗普2026年3月发布的针对监管壁垒的行政令，但两人正在推动一些相同的理念，包括加快审批速度、减少监管障碍、增加住房建设量。
“我们曾多次看到民主党出现这种模式：他们会拼死反对符合经济常识的政策，但当这些政策开始对他们不利时，他们就会转而接受现实。所以你看，他现在关注的很多东西都是特朗普一直在倡导的，”彼得·圣翁奇对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，“……这些都是自由市场经济学家几十年来一直在倡导的举措。”
圣翁奇表示，尽管纽瑟姆的“转变无疑令人震惊”，但加州在帕利塞兹大火后重建的困境凸显了这种转变能否转化为实际成果。

“帕利塞兹大火时，数千栋房屋被烧毁。人们会去查看……在建房屋的数量，结果几乎为零。监管壁垒已经到了无法逾越的地步，”圣翁奇说道。
纽瑟姆采纳了特朗普在全国范围内推行的部分供给侧住房政策工具，包括加快审批速度、减少监管壁垒以及降低建筑成本的举措。加州在2025年6月通过了其近期最重要的改革法案，早于特朗普2026年3月发布针对监管壁垒的专项住房行政令。
此次政策转向之前，民主党在2025年凭借以负担能力为核心的竞选纲领取得重大胜利，重新夺回了2024年曾有利于特朗普的议题阵地。
这位加州州长在2025年6月签署了一揽子住房法案，豁免特定项目受《加州环境质量法案》(CEQA)约束，并为符合条件的住房和基础设施开发项目简化环境审查流程。该法案还限制了部分海岸委员会的住房上诉权，并暂停了至2031年的新住宅建筑标准。
纽瑟姆随后在7月签署了另一项住房法案，旨在简化经济适用房的融资和项目审查流程。
“我们无法评价特朗普政府的做法，因为他什么都没做成。特朗普失败的经济政策和关税（也就是对美国民众征税）推高了物价，中断了供应链——拖慢了全国的建筑进度，”纽瑟姆的通讯主管塔拉·加列戈斯在接受福克斯新闻数字频道置评请求时表示。
“相比之下，在加州，纽瑟姆州长已经出台了具有历史意义的改革，以提高负担能力、加快住房建设，并督促地方政府负责规划和建设其社区所需的住房，”加列戈斯补充道。

特朗普早已将降低住宅建设的监管壁垒纳入其联邦住房议程。他在3月签署了一项行政令，指示各机构找出加快审批流程、降低监管成本的方法，并鼓励州和地方政府放宽新建筑的准入壁垒。
白宫4月发布的《总统经济报告》进一步提出了具体的州和地方改革建议，包括对符合规范的项目实行“自动批准”、将建房决定权的审批时限控制在60天以内、后续许可和检查的时限不超过30天、限制部分收费、引入第三方检查以及减少绿色能源强制要求。
“与无能的州长加文·纽瑟姆不同，特朗普总统一直专注于提高住房负担能力。总统签署了一项行政令，禁止大型华尔街公司收购独栋住宅，敦促房利美和房地美购买2000亿美元的抵押贷款债券，帮助利率降至四年低点，并以创纪录的速度削减不必要的繁文缛节，以增加供应、加快建设、降低成本，”白宫发言人戴维斯·英格尔对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
“总统会继续战斗下去，直到每个美国人都能实现拥有住房的美国梦，这就是为什么他会继续签署大胆的新行政令，并呼吁国会通过进一步的立法，”英格尔补充道。
传统基金会托马斯·A·罗经济政策研究所主任约翰·吉布斯对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，住房问题最好由州和地方政府处理。

“尽管加州近期简化审批、限制地方发展壁垒的举措反映了增加住房供应的政策，得到了各政治派别的众多经济学家的支持，但必须认识到，住房供应最终主要由州和地方政府管控，而非华盛顿，”吉布斯说道。
总统和州长各自掌握着不同的政策工具。
纽瑟姆可以直接动用州权力推翻地方 zoning 规定、简化《加州环境质量法案》审批流程，并向各市施压要求其推进住房建设。特朗普的政策工具则主要是联邦层面的：抵押贷款融资、联邦监管、政府支持企业(GSEs)以及对各州的激励和指导。
“联邦政策制定者对需求驱动型住房政策的控制力度远大于对地方分区和土地使用决策的控制，比如抵押贷款担保、联邦抵押贷款保险计划、政府支持企业和货币政策，”吉布斯解释道。
曼哈顿研究所高级研究员贾奇·格洛克也向福克斯新闻数字频道指出了总统与纽瑟姆计划的不同之处。

“一个问题是，纽瑟姆的许多住房法案都包含了对工会或环保组织的补贴，进一步推高了房价，比如要求使用工会劳动力或安装太阳能屋顶，”格洛克说道，“相比之下，特朗普政府试图限制新房建设中的此类要求。”
“特朗普政府还更侧重于推动城市向外扩张，允许建造更多独栋住宅，而纽瑟姆则专注于在现有区域进行高密度开发，建造更多公寓楼，”他补充道。

Newsom targets major affordability squeeze in ‘striking’ convergence with Trump

Economist says Newsom housing shift shows Democrats are coming ‘around to reality’
Heritage Foundation economist Peter St. Onge argued Gov. Newsom is embracing housing reforms long championed by free-market economists, but questions whether California can overcome its regulatory barriers.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is making affordability a focal point of his agenda as the potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender moves to tackle housing costs — seizing on an issue that hurt Democrats politically while converging with pieces of President Donald Trump’s deregulatory housing agenda before the midterms.
Newsom’s biggest recent housing reforms in California came before Trump’s March 2026 executive order on regulatory barriers, but the two are pushing some of the same ideas, including faster approvals, fewer regulatory hurdles and more housing construction.
“This is a pattern that we’ve seen a couple times with Democrats, where they will fight tooth and nail against economic common sense, but if it starts pulling the wrong way for them, then they’ll come around to reality. So you know he’s focusing on a lot of things that Trump has been championing,” economist Peter St. Onge told Fox News Digital. “…These are things that the free-market economists have been championing for decades.”
St. Onge said while Newsom’s “transformation has been certainly striking,” California’s struggle to rebuild after the Palisades fire underscores whether that shift will translate into results.
THE KEY STRATEGY RED STATES ARE USING TO LOWER HOUSING COSTS REVEALED

“We saw this with the Palisades fires where thousands of houses were burned. And people go through… and look at exactly how many houses are under construction and it’s pretty close to zero. The regulatory blockade is insurmountable,” said St. Onge.
Newsom has embraced some of the same supply-side housing tools Trump has pushed nationally, including faster approvals, fewer regulatory barriers and efforts to reduce construction costs. California enacted its major recent reforms in June 2025, before Trump issued a housing-specific executive order targeting regulatory barriers in March 2026.
The push comes after Democrats notched big wins in 2025 by campaigning on affordability, reclaiming ground on an issue that had worked in Trump’s favor in 2024.
The Golden State governor signed a housing package in June 2025 to exempt certain projects from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and streamline environmental review for qualifying housing and infrastructure development. Some Coastal Commission housing appeals were limited and new residential building standards through 2031 were placed on hold.
Newsom followed those changes in July by signing another housing package aimed at streamlining affordable-housing financing and project reviews.
“We can’t speak to the Trump administration’s approach, because he hasn’t done anything. Trump’s failed economic policies and tariffs (also called taxes on Americans) have increased prices and shut down supply chains – slowing building across the country,” Newsom director of communications Tara Gallegos told Fox News Digital when approached for comment.
“In contrast, in California, Governor Newsom has enacted historic reforms in California to boost affordability, accelerate housing production, and hold local governments accountable for planning and building the housing their communities need,” Gallegos added.

Trump already made reducing regulatory barriers to home construction part of his federal housing agenda. He signed an executive order in March directing agencies to identify ways to speed permitting, reduce regulatory costs and encourage state and local governments to ease barriers to new construction.
The White House’s Economic Report of the President, published in April, went further by recommending specific state and local reforms, including by-right approval for code-compliant projects, deadlines of no more than 60 days for a right-to-build decision and 30 days for later permits and inspections, limits on certain fees, third-party inspections and fewer green-energy mandates.
“Unlike incompetent Governor Gavin Newscum, President Trump has been laser-focused on making housing more affordable. The President signed an Executive Order prohibiting large Wall Street firms from purchasing single-family homes, directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds that helped drive rates to four-year lows, and cut unnecessary red tape at a historic pace to boost supply, speed construction, and lower costs,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told Fox News Digital .
“The President will not stop fighting until the American Dream of homeownership is within reach for every American, which is why he continues to sign bold new executive orders and calls on Congress to pass further legislation,” added Ingle.
John Gibbs, Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy Studies Director at The Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital that housing is better handled by state and local governments.

“While California’s recent efforts to streamline approvals and limit local barriers to development reflect policies to increase housing supply that many economists across the political spectrum support, it is important to recognize that housing supply is ultimately governed primarily by state and local governments, not Washington,” said Gibbs.
The president and governor both have different powers in their pockets they can use.
Newsom can directly use state power to override local zoning, streamline CEQA/permitting and pressure cities to build. Trump’s levers are largely federal — mortgage finance, federal regulation, GSEs and incentives/guidance to states.
“Federal policymakers have far greater control over demand-driven housing policies such as mortgage guarantees, federal mortgage insurance programs, the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), and monetary policy, than they do over local zoning and land-use decisions,” Gibbs explained.
Manhattan Institute senior fellow Judge Glock also Fox News Digital there are contrasts to the president and Newsom’s plans.

“One problem is that many of Newsom’s housing laws contain handouts to unions or to environmental groups that further drive-up housing prices, such as requirements for union labor or for solar-paneled roofs,” said Glock. “The Trump administration, by contrast, has tried to limit such requirements for new housing.”
“The Trump administration has also focused more on trying to expand cities outward and allowing more single-family homes, while Newsom has focused on densifying existing areas and building more apartments,” he added.
