Great insights from Sagac Managing Partner Trey Richardson on smart tax policy at the NAA Rental Housing Advocacy and Legal Summit (RHALS) this week in Nashville!

"You cannot tax your way into housing affordability; you can only build your way there."

Great presentation this week by Trey Richardson in Nashville at the NAA Rental Housing Advocacy and Legal Summit (RHALS)!

Trey outlined why real estate transfer taxes (RETT) act as a regressive "mirage" for local budgets—ultimately hurting renters, freezing transactions, and stalling critical urban redevelopment.

Stop treating housing supply like a municipal piggy bank. Join the effort and download the defense toolkits at communitytaxcoalition.org.

Curious how our PAConomics data applies to your specific sector?

When we presented Phase 1 in Washington, the question we heard most was: “But how does that apply to my industry?”

Phase 2 is our answer. We took $4B in data analysis spanning 15 election cycles and broke it down across 10 industry verticals — from energy and healthcare to finance and agribusiness.
