This. It’s sickening how all their ideas come down to thinly-veiled bribes to whichever voters they’re trying to court. And I’m a Democrat.

Free phones, free college education, now free down payments. What’s next, I wonder.

This was one of the original knocks against democracy. People would eventually vote to loot the treasury.

After I paid my own down payment, NOW I HAVE TO CONTINUE WORKING LIKE A DOG TO FINANCE WITH MY FEDERAL INCOME TAXES $25,000 DOWNPAYMENT FOR OTHERS? Why? What do I owe all those people?

What a load of drivel. A candidate promising freebies to potential voters at the expense of hardworking taxpayers does not make the latter "awful, bitter people."

I 100% guarantee that within months of this free money being handed out, if it does happen, there will be complaints that it isn't sufficient. "I need a house in a GOOD school district for my kids" "I need a house with enough bedrooms for all my kids" "I need a house that's brand-new because I work 3 jobs and don't have time to make repairs." And the party of Joy will cry out at the cruelty of ONLY giving out $25k and can't we do better?

Uh, I realize you meant that as some kind of mean spirited sarcasm, but here’s the thing - you’re so hateful you don’t even realize those are all valid points and should all be addressed.

$25k isn’t enough. Mostly because greedy people (like you) will just raise your home prices $25k. So really it should be $100k, not $25k


As for school districts, yes - we SHOULD be helping single moms live in better school districts because better education means kids escape multigenerational poverty.

New homes? Absolutely. What single mother has enough time or knowledge to deal with a fixer upper home in whatever little off time she has from her multiple jobs.

A house with multiple bedrooms? Uh, yes. Do you really expect brothers and sisters to stay in the same bedroom past 10-12 years old? Why would think it’s ok to subject a young girl to that? Sicko.


So yes, we CAN do better than $25k. That’s basically nothing.

So it will help a couple now and make it that much harder for the next group. This is not the way. Again, go after corporations owning residential properties and AirBnBs.

Cycles of abuse? Talk about drama.

Clearly you've never known an abusive person or deigned to pick up a single book about it or else you'd know that putting people through the same abuse you went through is literally the defining factor in cycles of abuse.

But of course someone as stupid as you can't make those connections. "Money no same as abuse" is as far as your smooth brain can go.

They take perfectly fine houses tear all the solid construction and put it back together with gum and spit and sell it for a 30% higher markup or more. You should have to own a house for at least 5 years and if you don't, there's a penalty. Lol

The penalty is the capital gains taxes on the profit. Regular homeowners don’t pay it. Flippers aren’t the real problem anyway.

The problem is all the NIMBY laws that constrain supply combined with too many of the best jobs in the same areas.

Housing prices would be better if we didn’t all want to live in the same place. Plenty of cheap housing in the Midwest.
