Not if they agree to it.

Why should home prices be protected from market forces?

that'd be nice, but our government is incompetent and has been for quite some time. We would be lucky to get 1/20th of that number

Slightly. There are already plenty of houses in the ghetto. Illegals arent occupying much desirable real estate in safe neighborhoods for young families.

Taking that same time to over supply the market will artificially keep all related prices high.
Costs to build, sure, which is why they'd require subsidization and/or tax breaks. The GOP is perfectly fine with subsidizing banking, farming, the stock market, and cheap immigrant labor...but itd be "commie" to encourage the building of homes. The costs to build will face downward pressure as the price homes are sold for decrease due to supply. Margins will shrink, builders will stop building...until the trade's market catches up to increase the supply of skilled trades people...which is also a major issue.

on top of what you listed...anything that HUD does (housing assistance, "community" development), manipulating interest rates, influencing monetary policy, tax policy, etc.

I don't believe the government with numbers, you can make numbers say anything (i.e. see anything from the pandemic, Biden's economy numbers, etc.)

Trump's stance is pure populism in its most socialist form
Populism would have been deflating home prices below their market value with the objective of putting lower wage earners and those with lower net worth in them. Nerd.

What you want is to force people to sell their homes to you at a lower price than the market price.. That's stealing. You want to steal from others.
WTF
No one is forcing anyone to sell. You are free to hold out on selling until you get the price you want, doesn't mean the government should prop it up for you artificially.
You are a full on socialist bro.

Trump's specifically aiming at maintaining boomer and older Gen X support. He literally lays it out with his quotes.

The US still has one of the best housing affordability rates globally.
In China's urban areas, the house price-to-income ratio is x20-30. In the US, it's like 5.

quote:This would all apply to the poor people. If those people could afford to buy a home, they wouldn't be in public housing. If anything, money spent providing public housing eases the demand for a finite number of rental homes and causes the home prices overall to be lower (less demand with a given number of available home, lower price)
anything that HUD does (housing assistance, "community" development)

addressing housing prices are more important than ensuring some people's portfolios are protected because all their wealth is tied into their house.
That's more important to prospective first time home owners.
It's not more important to people who already own houses.
Only a few of whom are "rich Boomers," btw.
The people really hurt by futzing with the market to lower housing prices are the people over the past decade or so who scraped and saved and bought at artificially inflated prices (due at least in part to the insane demand driving up rental prices caused by tens of millions of illegals allowed into the country).
And those people are the majority of the homeowners in the country right now (62% of all home owners in America are aged 30-45). Only 34% of all homeowners are 65+.
