Morphine Prince 109,655 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 US President Donald Trump has said he will move to ban big corporate investors from buying single-family homes, in a bid to make housing more affordable for Americans. In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump said he would ask Congress to "codify" the plan and would discuss it further at the Davos World Economic Forum later this month. The pledge bolstered an idea that has been circulating for years among housing advocates and lawmakers, in response to Wall Street's increased role in America's residential housing market. But some analysts question the extent to which a ban would affect prices. Shares of Blackstone, one of the largest private equity buyers, fell more than 5% on Wednesday. "That American Dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans," Trump said on social media, referring to home ownership. "People live in homes, not corporations." The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the details of a possible ban, including whether it would require congressional approval.

He also put a maximum limit on the price of some medication....hopefully this does happen, but Blackrock will probably lobby against it. That company is pure evil. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco 25,118 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The devil is in the detail here. A ban on single family homes. Not HMOs. This would change nothing in urban areas, only benefiting rural and suburban areas. The gays know how to party 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rambled on social media how he wants to do something. Presidents in the past would make state of the unions where they ask congress to pass certain bills and agendas that sounded good on paper. However, it never came to pass. Same as what Trump did here. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEARTSTOP 3,154 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) So he's announcing some slightly socialist measures (without saying the forbidden "socialism" word, of course) to distract from the inhumane mess that has been this week. Rest assured, he has no interest in helping the common person in the US. He probably will just make it so corporations have to buy these homes from his sketchy projects, after appropriating these homes in the name of "America". Kinda like what he is trying to do with pharmaceuticals and visas. Edited January 11 by HEARTSTOP IDGAF Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EART HL I NG 1,290 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) A smokescreen for midterms imo Dangling keys in front of people with something they want/ need to distract them from invading countries we have nothing to do with and kidnapping/ killing people in the streets with the hillbilly brigade gestapo. They know they’ve stepped in it bad this time but I’m not sure how well it’ll work because his own party is starting to make moves to try to limit power (in some capacities anyway) Edited January 11 by EART HL I NG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
