Sanders unveils $2.5 trillion 'Housing for All' plan

I wonder if he came up with this idiocy while enjoying his lakeside dacha.
White House hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday released a $2.5 trillion plan to guarantee housing for every American.
Sanders said the plan would “guarantee every American — regardless of income — a fundamental right to a safe, decent, accessible, and affordable home” and would be paid for by a wealth tax on the top one-tenth of 1 percent of income earners.
Sanders’s plan seeks to invest $1.48 trillion over 10 years in the National Affordable Housing Trust Fund to build and maintain 7.4 million “quality, affordable and accessible housing units” that he says will eliminate the gap in affordable housing for the lowest-income renters. It would also invest another $400 billion to build 2 million mixed-income social housing units.

I wonder if Bernie would give away some of his extra houses?

The democratic socialist lambasted “corrupt real estate developers” for jacking up rent prices and President Trump for cutting federal housing programs. He says he would create an office within the Department of Housing and Urban Development to strengthen rent control and tenant protections and make data on evictions and rent increases available to the public.

Along with the multiple other proposed multi-trillion dollar welfare programs. Right.
Everyone will pay for it.

Same plan the left has been running since the 60s, on a much larger scale. The result has always been blight and massive loss of investment, because people don't respect what they haven't earned.

What is comical is most section 8 housing or low income housing are not the problem. It is the atmosphere and neighborhood you create when you put all of them together in one spot.
If Bernie wants to give everyone "quality" houses, you have to create a quality neighborhood around it
This includes a school in the neighborhood, Public transportation in the neighborhood, and private or public sector security in the neighborhood to make it safe for the children being raised in the neighborhood.

Pocahontas not to be outdone will have a 3 trillion dollar plan out tomorrow.

Can one of the resident RE guys give us an average useful life of a newly built housing unit? I would love to know what kind of replacement costs this would be after these structures need repairs and replacement plus inflation.
Nevermind. No worries commrades, the funding for this is unconstitutional. Got ahead of myself.
