Census data reveals 15 million more housing units than households, contradicting activist claims of supply crisis
Why doesn’t Hermes just produce more bags and then everyone can have a Birkin? That’s basically the argument of people pressing President Donald Trump to declare a housing emergency.
The fact is there’s plenty of housing, just not in the most desirable neighborhoods. Population growth is slowing, deportations are increasing and new home construction already outpaces family creation. The shortage is a myth created by activists so they can force residential living patterns to conform to DEI dogma.
A simple calculation proves it. The Census Bureau collects annual data on both the number of households and the available housing stock. The latest data shows 131.3 million households and 146.5 million housing units, an excess supply of over 15 million units.
The problem with housing is corporate greed from material manufacturers and slum lords.
The joke of salisbury, a handful of people control 70+% of housing in the city limits and intentionally overprice out of greed, increasing poverty and homelessness, then sit in positions of government telling everyone they are committed to supporting its citizens and using taxpayer dollars to fix a problem they created.
Wake the F up.
You have the power to change this.
And probably 70% of that is owned by Rinnier!
