Not a fan of credits to buyers (just inflates prices further) but I'm a big fan of credits to developers, streamlining permitting, and making some federal land available for development.
Regardless of whether you think these are good policies or an effective platform, it is patently false to say no one would run on such a promise.
- rcpt 2y agoThose are all great policies. And yes credits to buyers is pretty stupid. But this is still a far cry from "vote for me and your home value will go down".
- llamaimperative 2y agoBecause why would you say that? You would say "we're going to build more housing."
- rcpt 2y agoPeople say that about eggs.
- llamaimperative 2y agoWell no, one person (a moron and a liar) said that about eggs
- wholinator2 2y agoEggs are not treated as the most important investment of your life, the value of which you hedge the entire rest of your life against, and which is expected to increase in value to support an growing rather than shrinking lifestyle. Eggs are nothing like houses economically
- jquery 2y agoI'd rather the government build the houses directly, I'm tired of America's solution to everything is to let middlemen skim huge profits (same issue in health care and education).
