Let’s build a million new homes and sell them to people that don’t currently own any homes.
There’s no shortage of homes in the US. They’re just being hoarded for their increasing value.
I don’t believe that is the case. There is no value in letting a property sit empty accumulating value, when it could be doing exactly that while pulling in a hefty monthly rent.
It may well be the case that there’s enough homes empty to house everyone, but only if they’re happy to move somewhere they don’t want to be, and where there’s no jobs to pay for them.
renters bring risks. if the home is on the market, they also make it a half to sell
Man this entire thread is just a perfect encapsulation of the perfect being the enemy of the good. What a bunch of useless chuds.
We want actual change.
Not this half-assed thing of “oh shit Biden isn’t polling well. Quick, do something popular!”.
Seeing this honestly frustrates me more because we all know they could do better than this.
Prices decreased last month. Not inflation decreased…prices. Deflation happened last month.
Inflation has been tamed.
Groceries are still more than double the price than they were 5 years ago. A slight back tick isn’t “tamed”.
That’s like saying a dog isn’t trained because the total number of times it peed in the house is still high. I get why you don’t like that thing that happened in the past, but the point is that it isn’t happening anymore.
Lol yes it is. Go to the store and look at the prices. They are demonstrably higher than they were.
Also that was a terrible analogy.
Sounds like you didn’t understand it. I’m not saying prices aren’t higher than they were years ago… prices always go up long term, the target is 2% per year. That’s not the question. The question is whether inflation has been tamed, meaning will prices rise wildly in the future or are we back to normal inflation rates. So going forward, will inflation be 2% like normal? Or are you claiming it will be higher?
Right now you’re not even answering the question you’re just saying it was higher in the past, which isn’t relevant to whether it is tamed now.
Good lord.
No I don’t think that there will be another huge swing because no one would buy things.
Having inflation just slowed down instead of reversing it is not tamed.
Pedantic mother fucker.
