Harris and Trump Clash Over Solutions to Affordable Housing Crisis

Both presidential candidates propose ambitious plans, but labor shortages and immigration policies pose significant challenges.

Kamala Harris aims to build 3 million new homes by 2029, focusing on tax incentives and local government funding.
Donald Trump suggests using federal land for housing and stopping illegal immigration to lower housing costs.
Experts criticize both plans as unrealistic and insufficient to address the core issues of the housing crisis.
Labor shortages in the construction industry are a major obstacle, with calls for immigration reform to fill the gap.
The role of Wall Street investors in the housing market and down payment assistance for first-time buyers are also key topics.
