ETA: I wonder what ER visits and healthcare looks like for these same areas.
Excellent point. And one we'll probably never know.
But I do.
It's been a completely different experience for me here, over the mountain in Birmingham. The ER lobby is like it was 40 years ago, ISYNot. I've been a few times (for others) ... 0, 1, 2 others... before it was always 40-60% full, w/ need of a translator.

Guess this is good news since the other policies are making a lot of people permanent renters instead of home owners.

Too bad everything else, including energy and groceries, have gotten more expensive. This cycle reminds me of the Biden people trying to convince us how great everything was in 2024.

Things were turning in the right direction by 2024. A better analogy might be 22 or 23 when the Biden bots were pretending everything was normal. If we're being honest Trump 1.0 and Biden both share the blame in post pandemic inflation. The 2026 one is squarely on Trump and he can't escape it. No one is buying it.

What other policies besides gas prices are you talking about? Can you list a few of them so I can see what you are bitching about?
Newsflash: you won't.

The report said the large increase in unauthorized immigration into the U.S. from early 2021 to early 2024 added roughly "seven million people to the U.S. population, nearly double that of legal immigration." Authors based those statistics from the Congressional Budget Office. The white paper said illegal immigration is responsible for "roughly 30% of total employment growth over March 2021 to March 2024."
It also found that "about 30 percent of the total growth in house prices" and "20 percent of the total growth in rents" is to blame on the large increases in illegal immigration. The authors of the white paper concluded, "We find that unauthorized immigrant worker flows increased local employment approximately one-for-one, without generating significant declines in local wages during the early 2021 to early 2024 boom period. At the same time, these inflows raised local house prices and rents, with little evidence of increases in housing supply. Thus, while the influx of these immigrant workers acted as a positive supply shock to local labor markets, it acted simultaneously as a demand shock to local housing markets, boosting rents given relatively inelastic short-run housing supply." The U.S. was also dealing with COVID-19 during much of this time period, which economists at the time said had an impact on employment and housing.
U.S. Representative Beth Van Duyne, R-Irving, posted the report on her X account and spoke with CBS News Texas about it. "We've actually been saying this for a number of months now," said Van Duyne. "I don't think people sometimes understand the ramifications of having so many folks enter your country illegally in such a short period of time and the financial disaster that it causes. And I want to make sure that people you know heard those numbers, it caused an increase in housing [prices] by 30%."

They must have deported tens of thousands in New Orleans.

Gas and diesel prices have affects on things downstream of it. Agricultural products which includes food obviously. Plastics, heating oil.
The news about rents declining and illegals being reported is good news. It's cancelled out and then some by the other news.
In addition to fuel disruptions stupid unnecessary wars also spooks bond investors who will want a risk premium on their investments.
The ten year treasury yield is at the highest it has been since 2007.
SPR levels are the lowest they have been since 1983.
So while this rent decreases and deportations are a positive the idea that the affordability problem isn't staring Trump in the face going into midterms is something so asinine and stupid only you would start a thread asserting it to be the case.

TV ads for an election are paid for by the party.
The President talking on TV is what presidents have done since TV was invented (except Biden because he was retarded). There is no money paid to the networks from the people or the parties.

How much of it is ICE vs all of those metros having a ton of new complexes managed by people desperate for cash flow now that rates are higher and can no longer operate with vacancy?
Go check on rent prices in places ICE hasn't been to and find/disprove a correlation.
Then get back to us.
Never mind...year-over-year for San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Lansing...all up.

groceries
Grocery prices have risen an average of 2.7% year-over-year...this is an average increase. Hell...take out beef and coffee and grocery price increases would be below average.
And guess what...fewer illegals in the country will bring down the cost of food as well.
Damn people...everything that is good, that Trump has helped do, you have to shite on.

So again I ask.. besides Gas prices, what are you upset with Republicans about concerning the economy?

OPs list other than New Orleans, is just a list of places that build and your is a list of places that don't
here is the list of multi family permits over the last two years. I am not saying ICE has nothing to do with it. Also relaxed regulations on building isn't exactly a knock on republicans either.

Chicago 7,819 5,324 13,143

As far as younger Millennials and GenZ, that policy is their own belief. The "lifetime Tenant" belief is a thing. They value mobility over ownership.

It's pretty simple. We didn't build millions of houses for Biden's immigrants.
They had to live somewhere, driving up demand while supply stood stagnant.

Millennials were complaining about house prices before Trump.
Putting the idea of people wanting to be renters on Trump is why you get made fun of so much on this board for being an idiot.

Let's be honest. Democrats closed down their states, the only states that didn't were red states.
Then democrats wanted to continue on their retarded policies like not evicting people for not paying rent, vaccine mandates and schools being shuttered.
But you can't be honest.
