    Trump’s sucks, but just giving people money will make all of the housing $25000 more expensive on average over time. There are so many better things to do with that money, like better public transportation and schools. She just wants to throw it down a hole and make housing more expensive, in exchange for some short-term support.

      It’s assistance not giving. I think it’s just a fund you can borrow from to get enough to start a mortgage.

      It would also only apply to people who can’t afford the mortgage.

      So it’s not going to impact house prices in the sense you say it would. Except slightly increasing demand to buy and thereby decreasing demand to rent.
