This country is in the midst of a massive housing crisis. Millions of people are spending more than 50% of their limited income on rent. More than 650K people are homeless. Enough is enough. Affordable housing is a human right.

I still can't believe Councilmember Padilla used *forcing a developer to reduce the size of an affordable housing project* as an example of how she is making housing more affordable for the people in her district!

An LGBTQ affordable housing unit in DC, designed as a "safe space," is being criticized by some residents because straight people are being allowed to live there. The project, which received a $1 MILLION taxpayer loan, has been visited by police over 10 times for reported thefts, robbery, harassment, and a DEAD BODY.

Why is Los Angeles spending millions of dollars fighting to block affordable housing during a housing crisis? We have the highest rent burdened population in America, the result of years of decisions motivated by politics rather than the needs of Angelenos. That ends when I’m mayor.

CBC REPORTER: "A third of the condos you're targeting for 'affordable housing' opportunities cost more than a million dollars. Who, exactly, is this program supposed to benefit?" BC NDP HOUSING MINISTER: "These are the details we are working on." Wait. What?

Former Mayor of Coronado California is blowing the whistle on a new housing project These new San Diego “affordable housing units” are going to cost $900,000 per unit He shows a luxury sky rise building with luxury amenities was built for half that “This affordable student housing project is projected to cost taxpayers nearly $900,000 per unit to build. Meanwhile, this luxury residential development recently sold for just $400,000 per unit. So what gives? (Here’s more California Democrat housing projects) - Government funded affordable housing projects like 101 Astoria at $1.1 million per unit - This city college project at $900,000 per unit - Rose Creek Village at $600,000 per unit All routinely cost far more than luxury residential units. I'm Richard Bailey, former mayor of Coronado and here's why you should care. It's very popular these days for politicians to campaign on affordable housing. Obviously, no one is against affordable housing, but the affordable housing projects being built by government agencies are often double the per unit cost — San Diego taxpayers are paying double the amount for lower quality housing that they won't even be eligible to live in”

Not a conspiracy theory DC Mayor Muriel Bowser openly admits taxpayer dollars are being used to provide housing for illegals Illegals are getting free subsidized housing vouchers But it doesn’t stop there Tax dollars are also being funneled to NGOs to pay for housing for illegals Rep. Brandon Gill “It’s not surprising to me because you're also funding NGOs that support free housing for illegal aliens” Illegals for rental help and rapid rehousing-style payments. DC spent tens of millions overall on aid for illegals Think about this, while you can’t buy a home or even afford your rent, your tax money is being taken and used to pay rent for illegals Where are the prison sentences for politicians. How is this not treason

An “affordable housing” project at San Diego City College is costing taxpayers $900K+ per unit while nearby market-rate developments cost just $350-$450K per unit. This is the latest in a series of “affordable housing” projects built by government agencies, at taxpayer expense, that are costing taxpayers 2X what higher quality units cost to build. To learn why affordable housing projects costs more to build than market rate projects, follow along.

To combat the housing shortage, I'll fight to build millions of units of affordable housing — reinstating the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to build what the private market won't. I'd double housing vouchers, make rent tax deductible just like mortgages, and ban private equity from buying up our homes. I'm not bought by developers or corporations so I will actually fight for you in Congress. Read my full housing plan with the link in bio!

Nature isn’t an obstacle to progress – it’s a measure of it. Our environment is the foundation of our economy and brings joy to millions. Developers scapegoat nature for their failure to build affordable homes. The solution: council housing within sustainable developments.

Addressing housing affordability should be a no brainer, but Trump doesn’t give a ####. The political establishment has failed for decades to tackle our crisis of housing costs, and Trump is giving more of the same. We need to turn the page and actually start to make housing affordable again, and signing the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is the first step.
