Summary

No matter who wins your vote during the presidential debates, odds are, the housing market will still have its problems. We’ve got high building costs, low inventory, and slow bureaucratic procedures that stop homes from being built or renovated. So, what would WE do if we were in charge of the country’s economic policies, and how would we use them to make a better housing market? Welcome to the 2024 On the Market debates, where Dave, Henry, James, and Kathy duke it out over who has the best housing policy, economic plan, and…presidential slogan. We’re putting our plans out in the open for you to vote on. Dave is focusing on construction prices, Henry wants to “Make Housing Affordable Again,” Kathy is rallying to reduce government spending, and James wants to fast-track building and renovations so housing inventory can grow. Who has the best housing market policy, and are there any you’d personally want to see on the ballot come the next election? Leave a review and let us know your thoughts, or give your take over on our YouTube channel! In This Episode We Cover Four economic policies we’d put into place TODAY to save the housing market Tax breaks for investors and builders and why the government MUST incentivize affordable housing Speeding up permitting times with a plan that could help those who can’t afford home repairs Why we NEED more Americans learning the trades before it’s too late Are prefab homes the future of affordable housing in America?

0:00.0	Over 50% of Americans say inflation and the economy are of major importance as they decide who to vote for this November.
0:09.7	And in recent shows, we've covered some of what economists think of each presidential candidate's economic proposals and housing proposals.
0:17.9	But in the spirit of this week's presidential debate, we're asking what other
