I was researching a move to an another state state. I discovered an affordable one, but riddled with crime and poverty. It’s a “red” state so I think I will keep doing research
As a long-time contributor to Democratic Party causes, I’m less concerned about being able to buy a house and more concerned about being shipped to a concentration camp in El Salvador to be murdered.
Good on you Rep. Pramilla Jayapal! Getting out & speaking the truth. Listen to those voters! Tell them how awful the recession will be and that Republicans passed the Save Act that will keep millions from voting!
Where does the US get its drywall from? Canada apparently used to get most of its product from the US but has recently begun producing its own. I doubt it exports much to the US.
Did you know that home ownership was nothing more than a marketing ploy used by realtors after WWII. Creating urban sprawl and several issues we deal with now today?
It's all an artificial market. Guess who it benefits. Hint, it ain't the buyer.
The cabals are aggressively buying up rental properties/first home houses. In many areas, they already determine the going rent rates and raising the cost of first homes putting both further and further out of reach. Additionally, know how much land China owns in say, Oklahoma? Wheat/oil?
Nobody is going to be able to afford a mid size house in Trump’s America, unless you inherit it, or are in a very lucrative profession. These Oligarchs want to depress wage growth. They want young women barefoot & pregnant and NOT working outside the home. That’s their goal. I hope it doesn’t happen
Remember when Kamala Harris said first time homebuyers would get $25k toward their down payment and people thought nah, let’s live in cardboard boxes afraid of what we may have texted against the regime?

Why isn’t my Senator/Representative calling for impeachment?
When the president tramples the Constitution like a Nazi thug, the Congress’ job is to impeach.
We need more moral courage.
(Please repost.)
those artifically low rates aren't good for the housing market and economy.
What would you do?
I didn’t say we own them. :(
now we're competing with corporations
What about small businesses, farmers, fishermen, and others who can’t afford to play in the D.C. Swamp?
Can you say corruption?
