Jason Calacanis identifies housing affordability as the single biggest threat to the American Dream.

Pete Buttigieg claimed that Denmark is now the best place to achieve the "American Dream" of upward mobility. However, critics point out that Denmark allows police to stop and search citizens without cause in specific zones to combat gang warfare and terrorism. This creates a contradiction for American progressives who praise Danish social systems while condemning similar "stop and frisk" tactics in the U.S.
