So I actually have um suggested some things and we do have a handful of people who've come out and said, Yeah, these things make sense, but it it is the the minority, it's not the majority and that's the problem.
Yes.
Um, so just real quickly before I get to housing, I do want to say um in terms of Congress's failure, the number one thing that would help.
fix affordability is going after waste, fraud, and abuse.
It's estimated anywhere from a quarter of a trillion to a trillion dollars of fraud alone is in our system.
So things that would, you know, not only make things like healthcare costs less, but you know, increase in or decrease interest rates.
We had a president who tried to go after that and Congress did not back him up.
So I just wanted to say that.
Um, but housing.
Um so one of the ideas that I have been floating is um allowing for interest rate assumability if you have a cheap
cheap interest rate.
Um, you know, that's one of the things that's locking up housing.
You don't want to move into another house.
Um, and if somebody's coming in to buy your house, it's going to be way more expensive for them.
So if we allow these cheap interest rates to be assumed, it's a win-win.
It's locked up so the banks aren't making money.
And there's going to be a bridge between the existing loan and what else is needed for a new buyer and the banks can benefit.
Yes, so uh also uh I know people have different feelings about tariffs, but tariffs have increased builder costs lumber, drywall, steel, appliances, whatever it is.
You know, if we we roll that back, if that becomes less of a focus and we focus more on affordability, that's another thing that can help the cost of new housing as well.
it's housing, it's business, it's energy, it's food, it's everything.
