Put a 30 year moratorium on all immigration, outlaw foreign ownership of American single family housing, eliminate section 8 vouchers, and close the border.
Agree with both your posts.
Actually, what I witnessed in the 1990s Asian Immigration (Boat People, etc) coming into my city was the opposite. We had entire generational families move into rental units in my neighborhood. They ALL worked. The entire family would toss their money into a pool and they would by a three family house within a year.
The next year they would buy another. And then another.
Within ten years they were owners of 10-15 units—and most of them were mortgage free.
They were not the easiest people to live next door to...and I moved out to the suburbs. But, they are moving into my suburbs now. Their grandkids are the valedictorians at the high school. And they drive better cars than most of us. Now...they are good neighbors who don’t tolerate much crap on their streets.
The American dream is out there. But a lot of “kids” think they “deserve” it without working as a family unit and simply working at their entry level job. The Dream hasn’t changed at all. But the way to get it has been muddied.
All excellent ideas that should be implemented as of yesterday.
But prices will not decline unless and until hydrocarbon fuel costs decline. This impacts our trucking system more than anything else. An example: a lot of the timber for new homes comes from leftist states that are forcing truckers to eventually use very expensive and low-ability EV vehicles to move goods to the rest of the USA. Since states rights prevent the FedGov from mitigating such rules by federal fiat, I am not sure how sane laws can be installed in place of the current crapola in CA, OR, and WA.
