WAKE UP People - this is info you need to know.⁣ ⁣ As the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign rolls out their housing plan, I feel obligated to weigh in and share some thoughts. With 24 years in the real estate business and deep involvement in housing policy, here’s my take:⁣ ⁣ 1. **3 Million New Units:** Sounds great, right? But it comes with a catch—federal control over zoning. Local zoning should stay local because one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to housing markets.⁣ ⁣ 2. **Rent Control:** It might seem beneficial for tenants, but history shows it reduces available units and stifles investment. The solution is more rental units, not more regulation.⁣ ⁣ 3. **Down Payment Assistance:** While seemingly helpful, federal handouts risk fueling inflation, driving up housing costs even further. ⁣ ⁣ These policies will impact your wallet and your choices. I’m like Trump, rolling things out a month before the Democrats get around to it! Stay informed and vote accordingly!
