    She campaigned on fairly substantial changes, such as $25k downpayment assistance, $10k tax credit to first-time home buyers, and a lot of other housing reforms and subsidies. Not that I particularly liked her, but she did campaign on that kind of stuff (which people/media mostly ignored, IIRC).

      That’ll happen when your record and that of your predecessors shows that your promises are worthless.

      Also she probably shouldn’t have spent three months telling people to be joyful about how poor they were before dreaming up her policy positions.

        Biden and Obama were also pretty good on these issues.

        Biden heralded the American Rescue Plan which set aside billions for housing, and also oversaw housing assistance given to 8 Million renters and 500k homeowners.

        Obama Stimulus was so much that Republicans have been screeching about the federal deficit to this day.
