Unique answers from America users whose views extended beyond the provided choices.
@9L4Z23B 4wks4W
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
@JakeJusten 3wks3W
Yes, by reducing the regulatory burden on builders
@9MX26BJ3wks3W
No, repeal NIMBY zoning laws that restrict the building of affordable housing instead
@9MV76VC3wks3W
No, high housing prices are caused by overregulation of construction so the government must repeal unnecessary laws first
@9MS62CQ3wks3W
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
@9MQ8JNS4wks4W
Yes, but must pass house inspections from a 3rd party unrelated to the construction company.
