Can the President Even Do Anything About Housing?

I'd been working on this article for a couple of weeks, but given the economic announcement VP Harris made last Friday, the timing couldn't have been better. I wanted to know if the president has any legitimate levers that they can pull to impact housing. As a student of history and electoral politics, my hypothesis was a flat no, and the research did verify at least most of my assumptions.

However, I could have written a book about this topic, and I really don't think I can answer the question succinctly enough in 2,500 words. Regardless, this article has been trending over the last day, and I've gotten some good feedback, so I figured I'd share it here. Let me know what you all think and if I missed anything that I should have considered.
