[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People aren't going to have families if housing is unaffordable. And right now, the cost of housing - whether renting or owning - is prohibitive for most younger people who would like to start families. Neither Democrats nor Republicans show any inclination to build more housing. Therefore, the only way to lower housing costs is to reduce demand - which realistically, can only be done by severely restricting immigration for a number of years. When young people can afford homes in decent school districts, they'll have children. [/quote] The data does not support this at all. Cheap housing, subsidized child care, direct payments for children have been tried in many countries and it makes at most a very slight difference in fertility rates. It’s not about money. More wealthy people than ever are having 0 or 1 child….so why is their fertility rate falling as well?[/quote]
