Donald Trump continues to try to quell affordability concerns, and this time he was talking about housing during a cabinet meeting. The president left eyebrows raised when he said he wants to keep housing “prices up,” as millions of Americans fear never being able to own a house.
On Jan. 20, Trump signed an executive order that would impede Wall Street from competing with single-family homebuyers. Trump has faced multiple accusations that he’s not living up to his campaign promises, but this was a welcome move that would finally address housing affordability concerns. However, recent reports have since come out suggesting that Trump’s plan to make housing accessible is not as direct as simply making it cheaper would imply.
