Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another edition of Rent Free. This week's stories include:
- The housing policy implications of President Donald Trump's (possible) trade war with Canada and Mexico.
- Whether state legislatures will kill the "build-to-rent" boom
- How the Fair Housing Act came to protect your right to an emotional support parrot
But first, a story about how Rhode Island's new law intended to increase new housing construction is running into a very old power used to stop it.
