Should the government incentivize the construction of affordable housing?

No

No, local governments and zoning boards should reform zoning laws to allow higher density building and to help construct more housing than there is demand

Proper guidelines need to be followed that expect the following of basic property care, and obeying the law. Affordable housing should not start out great and deteriorate into slums

Yes, but only with other conditions applied. If said policies ran rampant, housing would quickly become an industrialized process similar to an ant colony and would make American slums far more prominent which brings a slew of other problems.

Yes but limit the number of humans on earth. Humans are a useless drain on earths resources with 8 Billion humans 2 billion more than earth can handle.

Yes, but ensure a certain amount of quality when building such as adequate use of quality material and not cutting corners.

The government should provide affordable housing not private development

Yes, because housing is way too expensive, especially with other expenses on top of that.

No, because this question is very vague. Houses can change in value and people earn different incomes. So it's hard to define affordable housing. There should be another way or question asked to provide affordable houses to middle income and low income classes.

Yeah single house hold ones, thats what the American dream dictates any less and The populist will be pissed…in a way that is dangerous to everyone incuding the very rich and powerful.

They should incentivize home ownership transition programs.

That should be up to the free market and the government shouldn't be involved

I don't have enough information to give a direct answer

Goverment should reduce regulatory burden on builders to reduce cost of housing.

No, instead take homes that have been on the market for awhile and make them more affordable

The government should destroy abandoned homes and construct affordable homes.

Yes, but only for a certain amount of time so they can elevate out of their situation.

I am all for the government offering incentives, but "affordable housing" needs to be better defined. What is affordable for one person is not for another.

Yes, everything costs money, low and middle income families are what make up the majority of the United States, they deserve housing

Yes, in places where it works; but generally build all homes at more affordable prices without reducing quality or the value of homes

Yes, and it should encourage states to revisit policies about zoning rules.

Yes, but it should be done through the reduction of regulation/red tape, zoning reforms and, as grants to the home builder to build more housing of all types.

No, that’s a one-dimensional solution that only helps house low and no income populations when we need universal solutions that create affordable housing for ALL.

Yes, as long as the percentage is, and remains for the life of the building, 50% of units, and "affordable" is defined by what the average family can afford with two incomes on minimum wage, or one minimum-wage income for single tenants.

I think we should incentivise the buying process oncurrently existing structures to be more affordable instead

No, but abolish Zoning Laws and increase tye supply of housing.

Housing will continue to rise in price as long as restrictive zoning regulations prevent housing from being built where it is most needed. Government can make housing more affordable by repealing zoning regulations and staying out of the way.

Yes, but it would be better if public housing was invested in.

No, let local governments and cities decide this on their own.

Yes, by reducing the regulatory burden on builders

Again depends. Where is the subsidy coming from? People are already taxed to death. We need to promote responsibility.

No, but repeal any laws, zoning, etc. that prevent it.

Yes, and the definition of affordable needs to be based on no more than 1/3 of income.

I think some housing should be made for very low-income individuals and families. However, consistent and good outreach homeless assistance and an affordable housing overall would be best

No, repeal NIMBY zoning laws that restrict the building of affordable housing instead

No, high housing prices are caused by overregulation of construction so the government must repeal unnecessary laws first

There are homes standing vacant. Incentives should go to purchase & renovation of those homes first. Incentives in the form of tax breaks would be helpful in high cost of living areas & high taxed states. Plus more available breaks on sustainable private energy sources like solar with more compliant insurance companies

Yes, but must pass house inspections from a 3rd party unrelated to the construction company.

No, but it should stop incentivizing the construction of luxury housing by repealing rent control and allowing landlords to evict non-paying tenants.

No, this leads to port quality and downright dangerous housing due to lack of accountability and proper inspection from the government.

No - but a better economy, like we had under President Trump - makes housing more afforable. Our present government is going after it all wrong!

No, the world is extremely overpopulated, the more houses there are the more people will be paying to keep up with the price of living.
