Trumps father made his fortune building blue and white collar worker housing. Trump wanted to build big fancy stuff in Manhattan contrary to his father’s advice. Trump could make an interesting impact if he decided to tackle the low cost housing deficit in this country. Many think this is only an inner city issue, but there are many poor white, conservative, Christian people who also feel marginalized by the big money boys and lack of decent low cost housing. The problem is that almost all developers want to build big and fancy in the Trump vein. If it doesn’t have granite counters and stainless steel appliances it is almost impossible to have it built.
Low cost housing isn’t the government’s business to tackle in the first place. If citizen Trump wants to make a go of it, thats a beautiful thing. If President Trump wants to make a go of it, he’s little different from President Clinton who forced banks to lend for homes low income people could not afford.
They got the housing and we got a financial crisis.
