How are they going to lower the cost of land? That is a big part of housing cost today, making building new stock higher in price.
Well unless they are thinking about taking over for owners by forcing them to freeze prices.

Removing illegals frees up housing
The Right will drop the ball here.

You dress the reason of housing prices with inflation prior to Trump them blame Trump for Yankees mitigation away from Democrats cities? Sounds little confusing
Did I say I blamed Trump? I thought I did the opposite. I just don't agree that housing has become "more affordable" under him. It isn't affordable at all, which is why the left will use it as an issue. It will all be part of their push to eliminate single family properties which equals more slums and crime, but it will resonate with good reason.

If it wasnt affordable then how did sales increase by 13% in 2025 from 2024

This is not targeting the poor vote. It's specifically for 'the workin man.' That's a demographic that used to vote Dem 20 years ago but has shifted to GOP. Today's workin' man is pissed that only his boss (the rich man) can afford a new home.

They will mimic the Spanberger model where VA voted her in by 15 POINTS!!!!!!
Kamala only won VA by 6 points....
Affordability narrative pushed during the campaign and she quickly tried to tax the daylights out of her base after she took office....
DEMS will get out and vote for this bigtime....could be a tough November,
Get the DAMN SAVE AMERICA ACT PASSED!!!!!!!!!

Well we packed 10 years of inflation under Biden. The housing market has stabilized now from its post covid worst.
It has become "more affordable" compared to then. But not compared to a decade ago.

“ There's a massive pile of bullshite, right there. The inflation began before Trump, so it's not on him, but the housing market isn't affordable and new homes being built down here in the south are starting at ridiculous levels due to yankee migration.
The dems are thinking correctly on this one, although their execution will no doubt lead to slums and more crime, per usual.”
You stressed that the inflation was before Trump, then go onto another point of housing costs separate from the inflation part which is underlining the fact that this will come to be his fault. So yes you put the migration of Yankees south and higher housing costs squarely against Trump. The increase of people moving into certain areas making housing a supply and demand issue which will affect cost. Now if those northerners moved into Canada or out of the country in general like they said they would do if Trump won then America would be all the better

I have never read so many opinions from someone who is so confidently, consistently wrong on virtually every topic. Nothing you said is true: government controlled housing drives down prices in the area because of crime, poor quality construction, and the very human nature of not taking care of property you don’t own or have full responsibility over. The government built housing for returning veterans who sacrificed for the nation not millions of Americans who can’t afford it. It will never drive down prices in the suburbs that aren’t already low income areas nor will it make quality built homes by private builders more affordable because the individuals qualifying for government subsidies would never qualify for a decent private built home. The only thing this would achieve is more government reliance by the poor.

These homes would be filled with your degenerate clients and would be an extension of housing projects.

Removing illegals frees up housing and provides jobs for democrats who are currently part timers with various rent a mob organizations.

By constructing or subsidizing affordable units—potentially on public land with streamlined permitting—the government could bypass private market bottlenecks like zoning restrictions and developer profit margins, making stable housing more accessible for lower- and middle-income families without solely relying on subsidies or rent controls.
Plenty of affordable units exist today, they just aren’t in areas people want to live..too much crime and bad schools, largely because of the kindof people attracted to govt subsidized housing…

We the People will always vote for more free money from the US Govt into our pockets.
You cannot beat Santa Claus in an election. Combine that with the fact that we don't know who the hell is actually voting and how many times they voted and you get . . .
Radical Leftist Authoritarian Regime
. . . eventually.

There are lots of affordable houses. Most are townhomes that share a wall but you can buy. The problem is that many don’t want that. They want their own home. They want what their betters have and aren’t willing to struggle to achieve it. My first house was a PoS.

Getting rid of section 8 protects neighborhoods and allows for the purchase of starter homes.
Purchase and remodel loans also help. As do construction loans. The govt should be promoting banks to make these loans.
Another problem is the massive permitting industrial complex that’s overtaken small towns. It shouldn’t be that I can get a trailer hauled in, which is a death trap, and the process be multiple times easier than building my own house. Instead you have to get a contractor for everything instead of the local permitting office providing good information for grown arse people that want to save money and contract their own home.
