Incentives could include financial support or tax breaks for developers to build housing that is affordable for low- and middle-income families. Proponents argue that it increases the supply of affordable housing and addresses housing shortages. Opponents argue that it interferes with the housing market and can be costly for taxpayers.

I think there is 20 times as many empty homes as homeless people, and that homes already vacant should be prioritized
@B4KKX4HIndependent1mo1MO
For the most part yes but allow citizens to retain control of the markets, as this directly impacts a republic
@B3FL3YL3mos3MO
Yes, however, there should be more schools built to compensate for any influx of families living in the district.
@B376YPT3mos3MO
I would say yes but they could also add any restrictions or rules that they want and then it wouldn't be your dream home to build anymore.
@B2VBHV73mos3MO
maybe not fully at a federal level but there should be some in communities for low income individuals
@9X5SZKG7mos7MO
they shouldn't fund of more and more new housing, but they should put that money towards things like schools
@9WTRQBK7mos7MO
Yes as long as they incentivize the building of houses and not appartments or appartment style buildings.
@9WQG7QK7mos7MO
I believe the government should create a market in which people can afford reasonable housing depending on their income, but I don't believe the government should (generally) incentivize "affordable housing" or subsidize certain development companies.
@9WPV3W27mos7MO
Yes, with sufficient tax advantages for, specifically, safe and environmentally sound construction that affordable-home credits become a coveted commodity.
@9W9Q47R 7mos7MO
Yes, but more like their has to be starter homes created for younger generations to get into homes but jot subsidized by the government. You could get a tax deduction if you follow those rules
@9V46SRB8mos8MO
I think they should just make housing affordable, instead of throwing more money at the problem just lower housing costs.
@9TLN23W8mos8MO
If private companies have a blind bid to win these contracts, it would be more acceptable. However, with our nations corruption history no bid would ever be blind.
@9SYGXZ79mos9MO
I think that people should be trying to work to get money, if they're not we shouldn't be having raised taxes because of people that don't want to work.
@9STH8L4Independent 9mos9MO
Yes, but only when it is necessary. Some areas already have too many houses available. So we should make it so that the housing market is lowered.
@9XNLQHS7mos7MO
Yes. But only affordable for people who still work hard for it. Where people can work a full time job and not live paycheck to paycheck
@9X34V2V7mos7MO
Government subsides should be provided for neighborhoods that require help for development and revitalization.
@9TN9SFB8mos8MO
Yes, they should regulate house pricing and implement laws the prevent or slow another housing crisis or housing bubble to happen. With states with each state having personal needed for housing meet for weather, location, and risk of other statewide phenomena with in reason.
