ms. calder. chair klobuchar pranking amber lee and members of the subcommittee thank you for the opportunity to testify today. my name is vanessa calder on the director of policy studies at cato institute. the insights are my own and they don't represent my play. accessible low-cost housing is vital to health and prosperity of america's families and their communities. housing is abundant it's more affordable. abundant housing provides educational and economic opportunities and allows families to be part of the communities that they desire. policies that support abundant affordable housing are associated with reduced homelessness and better homeless policy outcomes. although these institutional investors and similar matters have received recent attention and accessible high-cost housing is largely result of the existing state and local policies. government policies that constrain housing development are detrimental. state and local regulations constitute some of the most significant policy constraining housing supply. building and land use regulations are nearly ubiquitous across american cities. they p

klobuchar: thank you. you can be seated. now, we will begin you can get started. ms. yentel: thank you. thank you, chair klobuchar. ranking member, lee and senator hirono. thank you for the opportunity to testify today. across the nation the lowest , income renters face a severe shortage of affordable and available homes and a significant gap between incomes and housing costs. there is a national shortage of 7.3 million homes that are affordable and available to the lowest income renters. this shortage is a long-standing structural feature of the country's housing system , consistently impacting every state and nearly every community. for example, in both chair klobuchar's state of minnesota and ranking member lee's state of utah, there are fewer than four affordable homes available for every 10 of the lowest income renter households without -- households. without affordable housing options, more than 10 million of the lowest income renters who are disproportionately, people of color pay at least half their limited income on rent, leaving them without the resources they need to put food

ms. riley, you're up next. thanks. >> good afternoon chairwoman klobuchar, ranking member fisher, my own senator, our majority leader schumer. brooklyn to be specific. [laughter] >> and all the members of this esteemed committee. it's a great honor to be before you. i do just want to correct the record because i'm no longer in the faculty of the new school although i have joined the district of colombia school of law as justice professor. i'm going to be brief because so much of what has been said i agree with. but really to elevate 3 primary points that i think are critical to remember and i hope we will discuss more deeply today and in the future. one is that we know disinformation, misinformation is not new and it predates artificial intelligence and that's exactly why we should deepen our concern and why we need government action because as has been said, we have witnessed this, even in the last two election cycles, artificial intelligence is already expanding the opportunity and the depth of not only disinformation in the sense of elevating falsehoods about where people vote, whether they can vote, how to vote,
