Honestly, it makes sense that renters lean toward Harris her plans actually address the housing crisis directly, while Trump’s approach seems more vague and focused on suburbs. Renters need clear solutions, not just talk.

Still waiting for Bloomberg backed London Breed to sign the Realpage ban in San Francisco that’s been waiting for her signature for like a month now. I get that she doesn’t want to give Peskin a win in the mayoral race but he’s polling in the single digits.

Trump is literally a real estate mogul who, at one point, was illegally discriminating against renting to minorities.
Why in hell would he be better at housing? His literal business is about screwing the little guy to make sure the rich get richer.

Because, let’s be clear here, Trump and Vance don’t give a damn about renters.

Trump is obviously not going to lift a finger to help people with housing, that’s a given and he shouldn’t even be in the conversation.
But I’m honestly disappointed that Harris and Walz are basically saying the only way out of housing crisis is more Reagan style supply side economics (here come the downvotes). Americans have decades that show that this does not work for something so essential as putting your roof over your head, especially when there is rampant crony capitalism involved.
Americans need mass regulations for housing, for example:
– elimination of junk fees and forced services that you can’t opt out of like trash valet services and mail delivery services in rental properties
– elimination of collusion and anti trust violations amongst landlords and developers
– eliminating “build to rent” single family home communities
– severely limiting corporate ownership of housing, for both foreign and domestic companies so that citizens can own more of the supply rather than holdings companies
These seem like no brainer regulations, and they are barely even on the radar. But of course it impacts Wall Street profits so thus the corporate owned media will use its propaganda machine to convince people that all regulations are bad.

Trump hates renters. He thinks they are poor for not being able to buy houses.

Trump and Vance give off the vibe that they would buy my apartment complex and raise rent by 80% while firing most of the maintenance team, landscapers, and never fix the pool or gate.

As someone who is voting Harris/Walz, but also works in mortgage, I’m extremely curious how this whole $25k first-time homebuyer thing will work, & also how the 3 million new units will work. Very little has been laid out in terms of specifics.
This industry is packed to the gills with crafty people without cumbersome morals & a huge appetite for money. I don’t want to see this go the way of California’s homelessness efforts, with billions of dollars flushed 1) into connected pockets 2) down the drain.
Since this appears to be one of her primary policy promises, it would be nice to open the conversation about the nuts & bolts of how this actually happens in a way that it isn’t abused.

Adding people through immigration can only act to increase rent and mortgage prices when they enter those markets. I’m sure that landlords would be happy with it because any kind of price fixing won’t work.
Supply and demand is such a simple concept.

Not so sure giving people 25k for a down payment is smart. I think a civilian version of the VA backed home loan might be a better approach.

Some folks seem to think Harris’s plan is just to provide a subsidy for first time homebuyers. It’s more than that.
There is also a supply side component, as well as a regulatory component to address the issue with corporate landlords.
A lot of renters want to be home owners. Harris is at least giving us a glimmer of hope for that.

Is it because Trump’s housing policy is “after we engage in ethnic cleansing, there will be a larger housing supply”?

Corporate home ownership is a significant driver of overpriced housing. It needs to be addressed. Walz mentioned it twice in the debate. Finally it is at least being mentioned. It’s not simply “build more”.
