Kamala Harris’ housing boost is overdue. Harris wants 3 million new homes in four years, on top of what homebuilders were already planning. That’s a punchy target: developers completed just 1.5 million units in 2023. Her campaign aims to encourage what it calls “innovative” approaches to affordable housing, like providing grants and loans to local developers and non-profit organizations. The plan leans heavily on zoning reforms and employs language about cutting red tape. 🇺🇸

Overdue is correct after her party ran politics for 3/4 of the last executive terms and with both legislative and judicial branches in favor!!

Further wrecking market forces by government intervention will obviously have the opposite effect as stated. Curiousity must be to see if removal ofregulations that government itself places will actually happen. Out of curiosity, do you think USA poor and middle class could survive four years of the interventionist policy suggestions by Harris campaign?
