Invest in higher density middle housing in cities instead of detached single family homes in the suburbs.
@BBGQBW22mos2MO
Yes with priority to multi family developments like fourplexes, row houses, two story condominiums and apartments (not luxury apartments). New policies need to be enacted so developers see profit in better quality multi family developments that favor mixed income groups
@B8MZTGM5mos5MO
The government should not get involved in the housing business. It's a private sector, and people shouldn't rely on the government to be able to buy and build a home.
@9BZVR9Y3yrs3Y
Yes, but not at the expense of farmland and green space and only available to low income or first time homebuyers.
@8WC5MFZ5yrs5Y
Yes, but only to house the homeless and not at the expense of farmland and green space, and be careful of spending inflation and debt
@8VMFV6K5yrs5Y
Yes, if they are affordable.
@BCTTM2H6 days6D
Rebuild and Repair Existing homes instead and then if still need more homes build more new homes
