Who is better for housing?

From Mansion Global:

Housing Was a Factor for About 40% of Early Voters in the U.S. Presidential Election

For U.S. adults who voted in the presidential election by Nov. 1, about two in five said the housing market was a factor in their decision, according to a report from Redfin on Monday.

Of the 1,002 early voters surveyed, 38% said housing affordability affected their choice for president, while 40% said it was a factor in their local races. 

Kamala Harris voters were more likely to cite housing affordability as a concern than Donald Trump voters, with 43% of early Harris voters reporting that it impacted their decision, compared with 29% of Trump voters who said the same.

Homes in blue areas of the U.S. tend to be much more expensive than red areas, which is likely a reason why Harris voters were more concerned with the housing market than Trump voters, according to Redfin. 

Of the 14 issues Redfin surveyed early voters about, housing affordability ranked 12th, having more weight than only climate change (36% of voters said it was a factor) and access to gender affirming care (19%). 

The economy was the top concern among those who already voted, with 63% saying it impacted their choice for president. Inflation was No. 2 at 59%, followed by protecting democracy (56%). 

About one-third of the survey respondents believe mortgage rates will fall if Trump is elected, while 23% think they’ll drop if Harris is elected. Additionally, 32% think rates will increase under a Harris presidency, while 28% believe they’d rise if Trump wins.

    In the movie “The Apprentice” the city of New York gives tax breaks and bailouts to the trump organization during Ed Koch’s era.

    Govt must tax Maga real estate developers and stop taxing the liberal working class.

    Greatest country in the world will take a week to count votes. We put a man on the moon in 1968 but still can’t count votes

    Every other country in the world has results same day by 6 pm

    …the liberal working class.

    I don’t see liberals hauling lumber or responding to an emergency call at 3:00 AM. That’s the working class, the turbine that fuels America. Liberals, you see, pontificate in dogmatic word salad, frustrated that the world has yet to reach the utopia they’ve envisioned.

    We put a man on the moon in 1968…

    Someone care to umm… oh never mind.

  6. Very Stable Genius says:

    Coincidentally 1968 was also the birth of democracy in the US with the end of 300 yrs of apartheid after civil rights movement recognized black peoples for the first time.

    6:44 more mindless blather.

    VSG,

    Here’s an easy one: What year did the German’s bomb Pearl Harbor?

  11. TraitorJoe says:

    Mindless blather is the level of discourse the left is targeting. Funny you complain about it now then your candidates nickname is word salad. She’s replacing a mindless vegetable on the ticket. And they wouldn’t want her taking leadership of any issues anyway. They want a mindless vessel.

  12. LAX says:

    If America is dumb enough to allow Trump, a complete failure, at the levers of power, then America deserves the next four plus years of abject failure. No ideology can overcome stupidity.

  13. TraitorJoe says:

    Sounds to me like mindless blather. I prefer peace and prosperity to broad decline.

    Then keep your shade closed, don’t look out the window, and keep watching the screen on the headrest. Enjoy the entertainment provided.

    Head in the sand is a good option for some. Or get some Xanax.

    The adults are the ones getting high in America. Hehe
    Goes great with all of the booze they are consuming, Mommy high and drunk picking up her kids at school.

    When states first legalized recreational cannabis, starting with Colorado and Washington in 2012, some panicked. “The ‘sky’s going to fall’ scenario was that all of the kids were just going to have access to all of the cannabis and it was going to be a terrible, terrible thing,” said Ryan Vandrey, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins Medicine who studies cannabis.

    The largest jumps in use in recent years, though, appear to be among adults.

    About 42 percent of adults ages 19 to 30 and 29 percent of those ages 35 to 50 have used cannabis in the past year — a historically high level of use, according to data from a nationwide survey.

  21. Phoenix says:

    Somehow, someway, there always seems to be a God involved in everything destructive everywere.

    A 24-year-old Tennessee man was arrested on Saturday moments before he planned to use a drone carrying an explosive to destroy a Nashville power substation.

    On Saturday, the sources went with him to a hotel in Nashville, where they conducted a Nordic ritual, which included a Nordic prayer and discussion about the Norse god Odin, prosecutors said.

    VSG,

    All you ever needed to know about Trump can be summed up in two words.
