  • A shortage of 7 million affordable homes didn’t happen overnight; it happened because leaders in Washington keep kicking the can down the road. Californians are counting on policymakers to deliver housing they can afford, so Rep. Porter emphasized the need for Congress to take action.

      That’s not the issue. The government subsidizes the purchase of existing homes and we allow banks to create money for their purchase. This drives up the real cost. We need rebasement. Wall Street wouldn’t buy them if they couldn’t get bank credit to do so.

The one near me is walking distance to the ocean, has an ocean view and is less than a mile and a half from all the major chains, a hospital and a ton of services. Also, many restaurants, even several bib gourmand and Michelin star restaurants, maybe they would hate the military translator school, or the aquarium, no one would want to live where the average property price is well over a million, it’s just so awful to live in neighborhoods is it? Maybe it’s because there isn’t a lot of gospi and too much acceptance. Not sure? I wonder why that lacks appeal, maybe the nice breeze or all the beautiful flora might be a hardship. I don’t believe I indicated that no repairs are to be done, that was your plan. and why are current bases inhabitable, perhaps we should level all the bases, since they are rotting. We don’t need them anyway, then these moldy wastes can be return to viable land, forests and wetlands, a much better use of our resources.

    I'm so tired of people talking about making *buying* homes more affordable. You can't even rent now. I'm in California along with Porter, and she doesn't acknowledge this.
    Also, she needs to revisit programs for building "affordable" units. Currently, they only require 15% of a new development to include "affordable" residences, and those aren't really even affordable. They also don't often even include parking, which is another issue. If there are several units built at the same hight rates, those expensive homes affect the prices of everything else.

    • @MattBuild4
      @MattBuild4 2 місяці тому

      Yeah but its not really full plan.
      1. Tax credit for first home buying. Fyi these already exist - in Canada, Australia and UK and this initiative has failed miserably...... historically what happens is the credit amount gets added to the home price - so home that would cost $400K with a 10% credit - now costs you $440K because the credit is also doubled for the homeowner and thus it is in their interest to increase the home price to get a higher credit.
      2. There is a reason 3D printed materials are not listed in major building codes. A major problem with printed homes you will see is that they lack structural components of a building meeting engineering standards. It is lunacy to just throw out IBC, IRC, AIA, ASTM, and ACI to reduce cost - this leads to SAFETY HAZARDS - not a good idea.
      3. While it is good that Washington is cutting out large financial institutions from buying up properties, a major cause of this crisis is zoning - which Mrs Porter failed to once talk about! How in the world does one act like they have solutions for housing yet never once bring up zoning? The reason Mrs Porter we dont have multi-unit housing like aparatments is because apartments get zonned seperately from housing, where in the US most populated cities incentivize and in many cases mandate the existence of single family housing zones over any other zoning types for housing.
      Granted this is a problem that has to be solved at the state and local levels of government, but to not even acknowledge this problem is ludicrious.....

      Ms. Porter, here is an idea, make home ownership tax-free for primary owner-occupied properties. No property tax, no income tax on mortgage payments, or interest. All the government would have to do is reduce the budget to make this possible. This could be done my eliminating some government agencies. There is no need for a committee, this will work, for everyone. (Except Big Government democrats.)

      If corporations are going to own single family homes, they should be required to either have them filled at a government monitored market rate and if they sit vacant, the company is charged said going rate of rent to go towards affordable housing programs.
      They'll either get them filled, or start getting charged money and will lower prices quickly. And finally, if they choose to make the home qualify for the 'affordable housing' tag, then they get a check cut to make up the difference
