During a recent debate, vice presidential candidates Tim Walz and Vance clashed over the issue of the housing crisis facing Americans. Walz, the Governor of Minnesota, voiced his support for a plan put forth by Senator Kamala Harris to address the issue of homelessness and affordable housing. Meanwhile, Vance, the opposing candidate, presented contrasting views on how to address these pressing issues.
The housing crisis has been a longstanding issue in the United States, with millions of Americans struggling to find affordable housing or even facing homelessness. The clash between Walz and Vance underscores the different approaches and ideologies present in addressing this crisis.
Walz’s support for Harris’ plan indicates a commitment to addressing the root causes of the housing crisis and providing tangible solutions for those in need. Meanwhile, Vance’s differing views may suggest alternative solutions that prioritize different aspects of the issue.
As the presidential election approaches, the discussion on housing and other critical issues will continue to play a significant role in shaping the future of the nation. The clash between Walz and Vance highlights the importance of this issue and the differing approaches that candidates are willing to take in addressing it.

Math tends to make things simpler to understand:
You have a number of houses with a number of people. If you let more people come in, you have fewer opportunities for housing. It is literally that simple.
two weeks ago i said that Walz appeared to be a younger version of " dementia " Joe…..his performance tonight seemed to PROVE IT
"Investment" = taxpayer funded
Asides of the Qs/As, I enjoyed the very civilized debate between JDVance and Tim Walz. Governor Walz seems to be nervous.
Moderators showed their bias towards JD Vance with smiles and politely cutting him on follow up response to Tim Walz.
JD won the debate tonight🏆🥇.
Please include FOREIGNERS cannot invest their laundered money into our real estates.
You’re telling me the illegal immigrants, coming from desperately poor countries with only a bag and the clothes on their backs are competing for homebuyers for homes?? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I can’t even with this guy
Our Govt is too occupied with funding foregin countries like Isreal, Ukraine, et, etc,etc…..to give a 💩 about Americas housing crisis and health care. Both parties support sending us tax revenue to countries that would never send their tax rev to help U.S citizens😮
We have a government problem, not a party problem
#JDiddy
JDiddy is a liar He said Trump saved Obamacare 😂 Trump said Obama is not even a US citizen 😂🐍
TAMPON TIMMY A D KAMULA ARE A DISASTER TO OUR NATION
I saw this movie censorship and bias media. Don't know why or how republican bite into going to a left media and end up with a debate of 3
Walz touts a 4% drop in rent, meanwhile every commodity goes up 25% lol. Unreal
Firstly, anyone that thinks a Democrat is going to reduce the cost of housing needs to get their head examined. I mean have they never been to California? Massachusetts? Seattle? New York? Every blue state has high housing costs because Democrat anti-growth policies are what cause this problem.
Second, as far as the immigrants go it's very simple. Any additional population (immigrants, citizens, space aliens, whoever) shifts the demand curve for housing to the right. That action raises the equilibrium price. That's just a fundamental axiom of supply and demand. If you need a study to tell you that then clearly you slept through high school economics.
Thirdly, I wish housing was as commoditized as this dude thinks it is. If something is commoditized then it has a single market price and low transaction costs. You could close on a house within minutes of seeing it and not pay some realtor 6%.
Fourth, you can actually do a lot about this issue at the federal level – even if the root of the problem is local. All the state environmental impact laws (which is what NIMBYs use to block housing) have their root in NEPA. Also, the federal government spends more than anyone on housing – mostly through tax expenditures like the mortgage interest deduction, property tax deduction, and capital gains exclusion as well as through Fannie Mae guarantees and the Fed's purchases of mortgage backed securities. Take that stuff away from any home within a growth boundary and growth boundaries will disappear pretty quick because angry homeowners will show up at town meetings and drown out all the environmentalists and NIMBYs that vote for that garbage.
Boycott CBS ! Moderators disgustingly broke the rules…Attempting to falsely Fact Check JD….and didn't like JD CORRECTLY countering that !
