Reasons to agree:
- Government should not try to fix prices. Government should not try and say people's houses are not expensive enough. Government should let those who want to buy a house determine how much a house should be worth. Government can try spur innovation as far as smart grown, but it can't buy all the foreclosed homes.
- Government created a housing bubble when they made laws that forced banks to lend money to people who couldn't afford them.
- Some efforts by states my be justifiable in promoting affordable housing, but the Federal States are best at trying to promote affordable housing.
- Government should try to promote affordable housing, not try to raise.
- State Governments can do precise actions to offset infrastructure and education expenses, but should not do clumsy nationwide expensive approaches.
- State Government should free up unused public property at times to free up housing property, to support affordable housing, but Government shouldn't try to make homes more expensive just to keep people from loosing money, because after Government burns the money, the home will eventually reach market value, no matter how much money we burn.
- If sprawl causes government to spend more money per person, Government can use the estimated money they would by stopping sprawl, to promote smart growth.
- State governments could use money they use for the homeless to try and create long term housing solutions. Some local governments put homeless people in hotels. If state governments want to be nice, they should also be smart. Perhaps government could build a home for the same price they spend putting homeless people in hotels.
- One of the few things state governments should do to promote affordable housing, is make it easier to build houses in places that have no affordable housing.
- States that have no affordable housing, can try to promote mixed income housing, so poor people don't have to drive hours and hours just to get to rich places where jobs are.
