Sky-high mortgage rates and a construction slowdown could push record rents and home prices even higher, further threatening housing affordability for millions of Americans.

HUD needs to get busy building, we need to get our homeless people into housing.

Exactly correct.
Spend 580billion on defence instead of 600billion, and spend 20 billion on shelter from the weather for homeless people who can't afford a van to live in, or any other accom.
I was only saying this to mrs bambu this morning in our kitchen at breakfast when we awoke to very cold and misty weather...and her thoughts were with homeless people suffering in the cold.
Particularly the ones she saw in NYC in winter several years ago.
You are a good man, Bambu, and Mrs Bambu is a good woman.
Yes, and that twenty billion dollars for housing would go a long way in cheap areas such as Battle Mountain, Nevada, where they can buy land for one thousand dollars per acre. They can build nice high density housing like in Santorini, Greece, and then they can do trade with San Francisco.
In the Cities then people can build towers, and the bottom floors can be for the poor people, and the top floors can be for the rich people, they can have penthouses on the top floors for the rich people.
Also, we can allow people to run hostels tax free, to encourage entrepreneurs to open hostels, the poor people can take a nice hot shower and they can sleep in a nice comfortable bed for $15 per night.
We also need to create jobs for the homeless people that are easy to do, such as planting orange trees, and working in the forests, etc. Right now it is fire season here in the USA so we need workers to work in the forests to prevent fires, and to put out fires early, etc. Homeless people can also sell beer and hot dogs at sporting events, etc, I had a friend who raised over one million dollars for charity by hiring homeless guys to sell beer and hot dogs at Angel Stadium, he raised money for a group to feed the hungry people, "Canning Hunger." Another good group to support is "Food Without Borders" which goes into areas where it is against the law to feed the homeless people and they feed the homeless people. My friend hired workers from the homeless shelters, as well as from other groups such as Narcotics Anonymous, and the Mental Health Association, he had over 160 guys working to raise money for charity, they sold beer and hot dogs at Angel Stadium, and at the Rose Bowl, etc. A lot of the guys lived in group homes, they lived in big mansions with like 14 guys in each house, and they worked selling beer and hot dogs at sporting events, etc, and they received Social Security money, etc.
We can also create tourism jobs by building a high speed train between Anaheim and Las Vegas.
Yes, Bambu, we need to spend less on defense, and more on housing for our people. And we need to let people run hostels tax free.
Salute,
