Nicole Lappin: 本期节目分析了特朗普和哈里斯两位总统候选人在住房问题上的政策主张。特朗普计划通过降低通货膨胀来降低抵押贷款利率，开放部分联邦土地用于新建房屋，并通过税收优惠和对首次购房者的支持来促进住房拥有。他还提出驱逐非法移民以降低住房成本，但这存在争议，可能反而会减缓住房建设速度并推高建筑成本。此外，特朗普政府此前曾大幅削减联邦住房管理局的预算和住房援助计划。哈里斯的计划更为详细，包括在四年内建造300万套新住房，向首次购房者提供25000美元的首付补贴，以及限制大型公司购买租赁房产。但25000美元的首付补贴可能推高房价。哈里斯还计划拨款400亿美元用于地方政府放宽区域规划和建筑法规，以鼓励建造更多经济适用房，并提供税收抵免以鼓励翻新老旧房屋或建造新的自住房屋，以及鼓励建造经济适用型租赁单元。两位候选人都支持开放联邦土地用于开发和减少建筑法规，但这需要考虑土地位置和基础设施问题。总的来说，解决住房危机没有简单的办法，需要综合考虑多方面因素。
