可负担性危机正主导着中期选举。本周《杂志》中，我们呈现了26种可能的解决方案。
The affordability crisis is dominating the midterms. In this week’s Magazine, we present 26 possible solutions.
这些想法从务实到荒唐不等。它们带你从超市货架到时尚的新公共住房项目，从加利福尼亚到丹麦。
The ideas range from sensible to silly. They take you from the supermarket aisle to trendy new public housing developments, from California to Denmark.
我们的名单包括关于半个世纪以来对财产税最激烈的反抗的专题报道，关于该国顶级鸡蛋生产商据称密谋推高价格的报道，以及唐纳德·特朗普推广的神秘折扣加油站。
Our list includes feature stories on the most fervent revolt against property taxes in half a century, how the country’s top egg producers allegedly conspired to drive up prices, and the mysterious discount gas stations promoted by Donald Trump.
在这个选举周期里，没有政治家能忽视可负担性问题。POLITICO民意调查一贯发现，不同收入水平、政治意识形态和教育程度的人中，多数人认为政府需要介入以降低成本。
No politician can ignore affordability this election cycle. The POLITICO Poll has consistently found that majorities of people — across income levels, political ideologies, and levels of education — think the government needs to step in to lower costs.
但没有人能就如何做到这一点达成一致。阅读由萨沙·伊森伯格和迪伦·琼斯编辑、劳伦·布尔宾设计的特刊，看看你有什么想法。
But no one can agree on how. Read the special issue — edited by Sasha Issenberg and Dylon Jones and designed by Lauren Bulbin — and see what you think.
