Housing costs are a top issue for many voters. Former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have proposed different ideas for addressing the country's housing woes.

F^ck this “different ideas” crap, @npr.org . Trump doesn’t have a housing policy. He has mass deportation. Which is NOT a housing policy. I’m appalled at this framing.
Musk says they will crash the economy first while ruthlessly deporting millions of immigrants. How can you even attempt to compare policies when they have an economic chaos agenda?
“Both Roosevelt and Hitler have plans to solve Europes food insecurity should co they win the war. Roosevelt aims to share Americas agricultural bounty with Europe and Hitler plans to murder 50-75 million more people to eliminate ‘useless eaters’. Let’s discuss the details of their plans.”
One candidate wants to ease your burden, the other would prefer if you just die. Read on for details on how each plan might affect you, and don't forget to like and subscribe!
Hey, Trump's "plan" is removing people from their homes so that other people can take those homes. This isn't a way to address housing needs, but theft through cruelty and deportation.
Ah yes, that famous housing proposal genocide. Definitely all about housing. Not at all about white supremacy and lebensraun. I keep saying it, NPR: you don't have to try to appease him. He'll defund and dismantle you no matter what you say about him.
Trump and Harris have different views on protecting the first amendment. He wants to shoot critical journalists in the face, while she wants Joe Rogan to come to her.
Drug prices are a top concern for many voters. Trump and Harris have different policies. She wants to regulate prices and get more people insured, while he wants to deport between 2,000,000-25,000,000 people.
"There would be fewer people in the country, decreasing demand for housing. But it would also remove a significant number of construction workers, which would likely make building new homes more expensive."
What are you doing? This is like when somebody in an movie says they want peace and the bad guy with a skull for a face says I shall give you peace--the peace of the grave!
Comrade @pkrugman.bsky.social points out that the tariffs that one candidate proposes will produce unforeseen counter-tariffs that will lead to drastic price inflation, relevant in a piece about prices and economics. https://bsky.app/profile/pkrugman.bsky.social/post/3l6rwxtrmv42z
"they cover trump's illegal and genocidal plan to ethnically cleanse the united states of non-white immigrants like it's a common sense housing affordability policy because they like donald trump and want him to win the election."
This is reporting?? Do you realize that you’re going to lose all federal funding if he gets elected? Or your reporters will just be shot as he “joked”. National NPR news coverage is an embarrassment at this point. Thankfully my local station’s news department still has a spine.
What is WRONG with you? Are you happy that you have gotten to the point that you are treating genocide as a housing policy? Is this what you wanted from your life?
What the hell is this, NPR? We -know- you know better than this. Trump's proposal is not a housing crisis solution and it should never be framed that way. It's a traditionally fascist, racist, pogrom-stoking "policy" that you should be villifiying.
The next time MPR or CPR ask me for money, I'm tempted to mention this article as why I'm pausing my giving.
A mass human rights crime *is not a housing policy*.
Jesus weeps.
You realize your preferred candidate, Trump, wants to shoot you dead, right? I mean, you're allegedly journalists, so you must have heard him say that about an hour ago?
Economy is a top issue for many voters. Chancellor Adolf Hitler and president Paul von Hindenburg have proposed different ideas for addressing the country's economic woes.
Mass deportation is not a housing crisis solution. What the actual F are you doing treating this like a sane, normal policy proposal and not the monstrosity that it is?
Question: What, pray tell, are the gists of these two plans? huh?
Follow-up: are both of these proposals absolutely required to be treated as 100% equivalent for consideration?
I wish the people at the top understood how painful it is to hear mass deportation being discussed so passively like this.
One of them might work. The other is an unworkable cruelty that will separate families, see American citizens stripped of their rights, in support of a racist campaign that drives us towards fascism.
Hey NPR you really failed to communicate, so I'll clean this one up for the mob:
.
Nah, you fucked up, concentration camps are not housing policy, fuck you
Yes, one wants to help people financially and the other wants to eradicate the construction workforce and free up housing by killing off the disabled…🙄
Do you really think this token crotch sniffing will save you from his wrath if he wins?
I don't think a destabilizing racist paramilitary war of imprisonment and/or deportation throughout neighborhoods across the country is the sort of thing likely to calm housing markets and bring prices down, but I'm not focused on sounding positive toward Trump supporters, so what do I know.
I realize y'all have a news from nowhere objective, and this is hard to fit into that frame, but at this point it feels like he could say "I'll sign an executive order to build," and it still wouldn't be headlines as "Trump housing plans rely on misunderstanding of markets, office, powers."
This article does not do nearly enough to call out the evil of mass deporting immigrants as part of Trump's supposed housing plan. Rather than call it out for the fascist BS that it is, the article tries to explain how it might help with housing to do it. Genuinely craven and pathetic
Seriously, forced mass deportation is a shitty plan that shitty people came up with. There really is no debate when one “side” is campaigning to effectively kill people of color through this policy.
Just 2 different policy approaches from 2 presidential candidates we are treating as roughly equivalent. No big deal. (NPR, you’ve learned nothing and are failing your public miserably. For shame.)
OMG NPR. Do you also think that the internment camps we put Japanese-Americans in during WWII (just incidentally also stealing all their property so white people could have it) was a "housing policy"?
What was it like when the editor assigned a reporter to find out what effect mass deportations would have on housing? Did they laugh uncomfortably? Did anyone roll their eyes? Did they pause for even a moment to ask what the hell you're doing over there?

You all have completely lost your way.
"FUCKING NOTHING!"
Making enforced ghetto for ethnic groups.
Horror murder Purge nights once a year could work well too.
God, how can you take at face value a blatant lie & repeat it NPR?!
"There would be fewer people in the country, decreasing demand for housing. But it would also remove a significant number of construction workers, which would likely make building new homes more expensive."
🤦♀️
The other has proposed deporting 13-15 million people, & doing nothing else.
The two candidates are not the same.
It is irresponsible for you to treat these candidates as if they both have serious economic proposals.

But hey, you do you 💩🚽
Idiots.
You are complicit.
🫏🤡🫏🤡
Explain that you're not going to bankroll sane-washing fascism.
As we've seen with the Washington Post, subscriber revolts do matter.

You don't have to both sides this.
Ball’s in your court, America.

Nah, you fucked up, concentration camps are not housing policy, fuck you
How are you still both siding this 9 years in? Beyond cooked.
Do you really think this token crotch sniffing will save you from his wrath if he wins?
Seriously.
Polite
Republicans
- federal lands
- mortgage rates (can't set)
- 3&4 are about immigration
HE IS PLANNING A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.
FFS YOU GUYS
A valid housing strategy
You are just wrong in the head
Lives are at stake and you are actively doing harm. If you can't do better, fucking quit. But continuing on your current path is not an option.
Get your shit together
Do fucking better.
Stop insulting the public. Have some self-respect.
It's a lot like the Crucible. Someone wants your house, they call the authorities and say you're a witch
