Barack Obama has called for the reform of "outdated" housing market regulations to allow the construction of new homes across the U.S. and alleviate a supply shortage that has driven up prices in the past few years.
"We can't just rely on the ideas of the past, we need to chart a new way forward to meet the challenges of today. And Kamala understands this," Obama told the crowd gathered at the United Center in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday.
"She knows for example that if we want to make it easier for more young people to buy a home, we need to build more units and clear away some of the outdated laws and regulations that made it harder to build homes for working people in this country," the former president added, as the crowd roared in response. "This is a priority. And she has put out a bold new plan to do just that."
Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, said she will build 3 million new homes by the end of her first term if elected president to ease the shortage and boost homeownership. Speaking in Raleigh, North Carolina, last week, the vice president said she will fight to "end America's housing shortage," including by cutting "red tape" at the local and state level, addressing existing delays and restrictions to housing production.
Comment:
The idiot Democrats caused the Great Recession with their mortgage policies.
They forced banks to make home loans to people who could not pay them back.
When the Democrats mess with the free market, they create more problems.
Do you believe that Kamala Harris could build 3 million houses?
Maybe those 30 million illegal border crossers are causing a housing shortage.
