Expanding Affordable Housing Programs Act

Madam President, 

I stand against this program. Expansion of housing vouchers will not solve the problem of unaffordable housing. These are demand-side-targeted solutions, but what we need are solutions that aim to increase the supply. All this will do is stimulate demand further and continue the wild inflation in housing costs we are currently seeing. This is a short-sighted solution arrived at because it’s the easiest thing politicians can do to say they are solving the issue, but a truly effective solution requires more effort and care. This will only increase costs on taxpayers and consumers more broadly. 
 

Also, Madam President, I believe it is time to end debate. I yield. @TedderBear

(ooc: can we debate/vote on bills in other states, or is it just in our state?) @TedderBear
