Kamala Harris: A New Way Forward
“There's a serious housing shortage. In many places, it's too difficult to build, and it's driving prices up. As president, I will work in partnership with industry to build the housing we need, both to rent and to buy. We will take down barriers and cut red tape, including at the state and local levels. And by the end of my first term, we will end America's housing shortage by building 3 million new homes and rentals that are affordable for the middle class.”
- Vice President Kamala Harris
Barack Obama at the DNC
“We can’t just rely on the ideas of the past. We need to chart A New Way Forward. She knows, for example, that if we want to make it easier for more young people to buy a home, we need to build more units and clear away some of the outdated laws and regulations that make it harder to build homes for working people in this country. That is a priority, and she’s put out a bold new plan to do just that.”
