Trump country's housing crisis with good graphic @ link

@ Axios.com, 8 hrs. ago

The rent is too damn high across huge swaths of conservative states, and it's getting worse fast.

Why it matters: The housing crisis gripping coastal cities has now gone national.

The big picture: “The lowest-income people have always had an absurdly high cost of living,” Whitney Airgood-Obrycki, a research associate at Harvard's Joint Center on Housing Studies, which produced the report, told Bloomberg.

“But the affordability crisis that we’re seeing now is hitting middle-income renters, and it’s hitting them across the country.”

Bloomberg notes: An "influx of high-income renters ... are increasingly delaying home ownership either out of choice or necessity, driving up rents by fueling competition for existing units and spurring new construction designed primarily for the upper end of the market."

By the numbers: The top 10 U.S. cities, in terms of their rising share of renters making $30,000 to $45,000 who pay more than 30% of their income on rent:

Nashville

Greenville, S.C.

McAllen, Texas

Boise City, Idaho

Raleigh

Denver

Palm Bay, Fla.

Austin

Omaha

Louisville

To go back to topic: the House can't enact change about something like the housing problem and the homeless problem without a Senate that will go along.

You are correct. What I find

You are correct. What I find disturbing about the primary is the excessive fudging this time to pander to the activist lefties, so much so that it ends up that voters are basically buying a pig in a poke? Then they are angry later, when they find out the guy or gal didn't really intend to try to do this that or the other thing. Not that it matters that much who is president if it's a Dem that will pick decent judges: Olden Golden Decoy has the correct attitude.

She's fudging. But I like her combative record in regulating these companies real-time. I wouldn't mind her fudging her Bernie-inspired populist rediatribution ramt, but it's gonna kill ius in November.

Just came to post this on the thread, it interestingly addressing similar:

What's funny about these two responses to the question the NYT asked is that you know Warren is very well-placed to give Yang's answer, but only Yang has the guts to give it. https://t.co/Zj4n5A4jLR pic.twitter.com/fDfF8J8ukc

Elizabeth Warren thinks Obama did a great job on the economy? Elizabeth Warren does not think Obama did a great job on the economy. Her entire campaign is theoretically a rebuke to his approach on the economy.

I honestly don't know if Jilani is giving a good interpretation here or whether Liz Warren is fudging her true beliefs for primary purposes. Just makes me think, is a good point

In reply to Oh I see now, here's where

It actually started earlier, with the Fannie Mae scandals and every idiot homeowner taking out a 2nd mortgage like it was payday, all the housing bubble and hype for 10 years, so by the time it all popped in 2007, they were ready, robosigning vast tracts if repossessions into these vampires' arms, blacks hurt worst. Obama did minimal to help struggling homeowners, banks got sweetheart low-interest "bailout" funds, so could just buy and hold and wait for the new recovering families start looking again to realize there wasn't that much to buy anymore - driving Aunt Millie and other cattle to a new pen and stockyard.

Oh I see now, here's where

Oh I see now, here's where some of the housing went!!!

More than $220 billion in housing wealth has been transferred from Americans who once owned, or would have owned, homes to large corporations. #citylabarchive https://t.co/8CzDrETZQ7
