re: Idea for addressing home afforability

Housing demand drives the economy on both sides.
It’s hard to imagine how to drastically affect home affordability without massive second and third order effects.
If you could cut 10% of housing prices, does that address affordability in any meaningful way?
This is probably a more specific question. And it’s geared around urbanization. House affordability is an issue in urban areas. And that’s driven by population density and urban demand.

Lower mortgage interest rates and stop allowing goofballs who want a house on the beach or high crime areas drive up insurance premiums for everyone else, make property tax deductible

Arguably don't think that matters for anyone middle class or above. The ones, and from your post history I know you know this, that impact the good housing inventory the most are here legally.
I do think they help in jacking up rents for younger people/renters though in some areas. Hispanic families living in apartments/condos/duplexes that were traditionally young professionals and black families, here in New Orleans.

Stop the federal gov't from importing millions of illegals who they then subsidize or outright pay for their housing. Fannie Mae and orgs under blackrock and blackstone who rent from their staggering inventory ultimately facilitate a large portion of this for the Marxist feds.
That would be what I'd recommend, for starters.

But that's a Fox News report. CBS, CNN and MSNBC never reported on this, so... Not true. Apparently.

Federal government also gave billions (in tax payer funds) to NGO's which paid to house illegals.

Increase property taxes for secondary residences (esp SFHs)
Umm no.
Do a sales tax and be done with it. Ownership should not be taxed.

Why not allow assumable mortgages?
