It's 2,000 dollars a month for a one-bedroom apartment. So far I haven't heard anything about what's going to be done about this. Has he said anywhere about what his plans are for this? Is Trump even going to address this problem? This is making it impossible for regular people to buy a home or to ever even think about retiring.

If we deport millions of illegals, there should be a surplus of housing available for rent and sale.
Yep, thirty million illegals gone is going to leave lots of living spaces open for rent or buy. Might even be able to pick up a house for a reasonable price when the landlords discover there is no one to give them a monthly check.
Not only that but there is so much commercial real estate available and for sale they can be converted into apartment units.
exactly. even if the illegals trash half the houses they are forced to leave, there will still be a huge surplus.
And, a bunch of employment for American construction workers.
You beat me to it. There are going to be plenty of houses when the deportation gets into full swing. That will bring down the prices.
The best way to solve this in my view. Give us our federal income taxes back.
Then stablize inflation.
Deportations should help. Banning megacorps from buying up all the single family homes would seal the deal.
Banning foreign entities from buying our land should be at the forefront of the economic solution.
Get rid of all the illegals and then the supply of homes goes way up.
Ben Carson found our affordable public housing is being illegally occupied by 80% aliens. Against the HUD order!
Kick them out! Stop giving our jobs away. Get the food down to half price again like the energy, from all the BIG PHARMA inflation. CUT THEM OFF. IT HEALTH SYSTEM NOT THE PROFIT. IF NOT THEY'RE NOT INTERESTED IN MAKING US WELL ONLY MAKING MONEY. STOP GETTING MEDICARE MONEY TO OBAMACARE by beginning to fund the programs we need and stop stealing the money and funding wars.
When I lived in a tax credited low income apartment complex, it wasn't 80% illegals. It was mostly low income white people. Most of them worked or went to school. Problem with the low income apartment complex idea is that they cap your income so that the reduced rent is still a severe burden. You don't get a chance to get ahead while you're there. Problem is there's like 20% of the people who live there who are basically crackheads or welfare bums who have nothing to do with their time except make everybody else miserable for fun, and the property management company wouldn't do jack shit about them. These people had homeless friends who would hang out in the parking lot and sell drugs and break into cars and harass the residents, and they were just allowed to camp out there basically. The low income apartment ended up basically being home base for a bunch of fucking criminals because they could just camp out there without consequences.
Get rid of a bunch of rules and regulations and folks can build their own homes without mortgages. Check out Cochise county Arizona "opt out" program.
Relying on government to fix everything is what caused a lot of our problems, complacency people kept looking for the government for solutions=we need less government involvement.
Whatever Trump does will cause a ripple effect that will fix many other problems.
He already explained. He made a video announcement about building brand new cities.
He’s not lowering your rent. Landlords are a business too. New cities will provide opportunities for more landlords getting houses at lower prices and more renters getting locked in before rental increases.
His plan is very simple:
Deport 40+ million illegals, (and their anchor turds), and lots of housing 'suddenly' frees up.

Trump's economic policies, primarily "Drill, Baby, Drill!" will be the single biggest factor. Gas went up the second the current criminal in the White House shelved the pipeline. We were energy independent when Trump left office! Now we're buying from overseas and spending our reserves. When gas is cheaper, EVERYTHING is cheaper. Think about it. When it costs truckers more to buy gas, they pass that on to the grocery store (or whoever), who passes it on to the customer. So groceries and gas go up, followed by wage increases because nobody can afford to buy gas or groceries. Extrapolate that process to EVERYTHING. When those prices go down, competition forces gas stations and grocery stores to lower prices because they now have some breathing room in their profit margins. The new housing market is hamstrung by this at every level (lumber costs, lumber delivery costs, finishing material costs, etc. etc. - all the many factors that go into a homebuild) as well as oppressive permit processes in many states which add time and cost to building new homes. When new housing prices go up, old house prices do, too, because there are fewer homes on the market for a greater number of buyers. When Trump frees up the economy, you will see improvement in very short order. It's too bad our education system wastes time on bullsh*t and doesn't teach economics. Jan. 20th can't come soon enough!
Believe God for your sufficiency. In time things will turn around but you dont make moves based on cost you make moves based on the over all economy and cost then take care of themselves.
Instead of out taxes being used for subsidizing housing for Israelis, maybe have it used for our own citizens.
We already have that; it's called Section 8.
Yeah and I remember when my dad used to have a rental property back in the 90s I was under instructions that if someone called to inquire about it and mentioned Section 8 to just hang up.
No, I mean give it back to us instead of sending it to Israel. Not use it to pay for others.
??? You want to jumpnstraight to communism? Perhaps they put 4 or 5 families in your apartment with you.
So let's recap.
Sending your hard earned money to Israel so they have affordable {downright cheap} housing is cool.
Keeping your hard earned money in your pocket so you can afford housing is communist.
Gotcha.
Inflation is difficult to reverse. Especially when the previous administration printed billions of dollars

A Look Inside Elon Musk's Tiny $50,000 House A tiny home with plenty benefits.
being as he is a landlord, I do not think he will be cutting his own throat on that issue. but if there is a lower demand, the rents should decrease. look at the big cities during the scamdemic...
He also hasn’t said anything about interest rates which also need to come down a lot.
About housing per housing? Nothing, I hope.
Housing shortage is an effect of more primary serious policy decisions that he will be handling.
