Yet I can find at least 5 grammatical and formatting errors in your post. We are supposed to take you seriously?

...goes as you might expect.  She sat for a full TEN MINUTES with one of the friendliest journalists around. Shock of shocks, a news anchor with ABC NEWS in Philadelphia, Brian Taff. 

 

...and stuffed it again. The word salads are back.   Example;

 

TAFF: Talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people. What are one or two specific things you have in mind for that?

 

HARRIS: Well, I'll start with this. I grew up a middle-class kid. My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard. She was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager. I grew up in a community of hardworking people. You know, construction workers and nurses and teachers. I try to explain to some people who might not have had the same experience, but a lot of people will relate to this. 

You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of people who were really proud of their lawn, you know, and I was raised to believe and to know that all people deserve dignity and that we as Americans have a beautiful character. You know, we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams, but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources that can help them fuel those dreams and ambitions. So, when I talk about building an opportunity economy, it is very much with the mind of investing in the ambitions and aspirations and the incredible work ethic of the American people and creating opportunity for people, for example, to start a small business. 

 

This from a candidate who claims to have a "passion for small businesses". Yet AFAIK has never actually owned a business, nor has she worked for one even one day in her life. God save America...

Seriously, that's your criteria? Small business owner? How about the guy with 6 bankruptcies and a million lawsuits against him. A bet he's good for small business. Personally I want someone who can govern, communicate, help people, and especially crack down on the Neo Nazi grifters that are trying to get back into the White House after 4 years of whining.

Hacienda CDC has been highlighted for offering $30,000 in down payment assistance through its Camino a Casa program, which, according to various reports and posts on X, is exclusively for non-American citizens, including DACA recipients, asylees, and green card holders.

Where I live have nothing to do in this matter.

Thanks for saying exactly the same thing that I did. In any case you are apparently deeply worried about a programme providing a mere US$630,000 in down payment assistance across 21 loans. In 2022, a down year, there were more than 713,000 individual home sales. So this is a program that would *potentially* impact the same price of 0.0029% of homes in the US. Consider that and then reflect that 45% of homes in the US are first time purchases and there are loan programs in most cities and states. Stop fear mongering.

Except she is Indian not black. Also cares about herself like Obama. Can't even explain policies. Refuses to do 3 debates or interviews. Just another fake person wanting to be rich.

I love how you get to tell other people what race they are. Thanks for rolling us back to 1860.

Help me understand how this issue, which she apologized for, makes her "the biggest liar of them all"?

The last housing meltdown was cause by government intervention in the home loan industry. 

 

Nothing has changed in the respect, except that now Harris wants to give magically "first time buyers" $25K so they can buy homes they can't afford and drive home prices up. 

 

Given that the real issue in 2006-2007 was predatory loans and banks packaging up those loans as commoditized securities, I don't see how providing help to first time home buyers (ie, middle class families) is going to turn society into a bunch of crazy loons. But please, let's hear your genius theory of change.

Can you be more specific? Are you against lessoning restrictions on private pensions to invest in government priorities, such as housing? Or perhaps you'd like to return to an era when there is more government control over banks? And did you even read that article? It states "Everything appeared to work fine as long as accommodative monetary policy and capital inflows from developing countries continued to fuel the upward float of housing prices. Home ownership grew to 69% in 2006 from 64% in 1993, but when monetary policy tightened the housing bubble broke and the mortgage-default rate soared."

"When monetary policy tightened" was under your guy.

Clinton policies caused the GFC. Bush never changed them.

Give me a break. Bush, your R, had 8 years to change the policy. It was his guy at the Fed (appointed by Reagan) and his guy at Treasury.  And Rs meanwhile had the House and Senate for four of those years.

This largest issue is NIMBA.  How will she deal with that at the state and local levels?  

Not sure what NIMBA is (do you mean NIMBY?) But either way this doesn't really sound like a good faith reply. Do you agree more housing is needed? Let's start with the basics before you mess yourself.

Maybe Harris can create another housing bubble along with her bread lines.

With all due respect, the last housing bubble was under George W Busg, an R, and the resulting crash had to be cleaned up by Obama. Or don't you remember the sordid sight of John McCain rushing home from campaigning to deal with the financial chaos. 

Did you look at that chart?

Support how? Government housing? 

 

And they've let in over ten million illegals, so 3 1/3 to each new home? 

Are you against new market rate housing too? Wow, that's a surprise. But then again your guy is a slum lord, so it makes sense.

Support the construction of 3 million new homes to increase access to affordable housing for working class and middle income families.

Not ashamed, but expedient. She played up being Indian for most of her time in politics and then discovered that she was black about 15 minutes ago. Now she tries to fake 'black urban' accents in speeches and the like. Total cringe.

Not sure where you're getting this from. I lived in San Francisco all the years she was DA there. She has African and Indian heritage, went to a black college. Dated black guys (among others). Why is this so hard to understand?
