When idiot Liberals make housing excessively expensive through restricted development, high taxes and over-regulation, this is what they get: a shortage. So predictable and stupid.

Yep. Rent control laws, strict zoning laws, high property taxes, Section 8, etc. All these lead to shortages. No landlord is going to lease at or below cost.

And supplying housing for illegal immigrants with state funding. Not only do house prices go up due to lack of supply, but you get taxed up the wazoo to help pay for their housing, not yours.

It’s a twofor. Not only will they blame Trump, but they will use it to justify government financed and controlled housing under various euphemisms—the hot ones today are “affordable housing” and “workforce housing.”
