Vice President Kamala Harris pledged Friday to build 3 million new housing units over four years if elected, but she and President Joe Biden have barely managed to build eight electric vehicle charging stations in two and a half years.
Harris said at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Many places have a severe housing shortage. Homes are incredibly hard to build and expensive to build. As President, I will work with industry to build more homes — both for rent and for purchase. I will remove barriers and cut red tape, including at the state and local level. And by the end of my first term, I will end America’s housing shortage by building 3 million new homes and rentals that the middle class can afford.
Harris did not explain how these new homes would be built in a high-interest rate environment, nor did he explain whether he meant 3 million homes in addition to those already built, or 3 million homes total. Nearly 1.5 million homes. Built In 2023, there will be 3 million deaths in the United States, so 3 million deaths in 4 years means that construction is actually Slowed down A 50% increase, I think what she meant was 3 million extra homes, or 750,000 extra homes per year.
it is, pace Coming at the end of the peak of the post-World War II housing boom, Harris has a track record by which to measure promises: the failure of the Biden-Harris Administration to build the electric vehicle (EV) charging stations it promised in the 2021 infrastructure bill, at a cost of $7.5 billion. The goal was 500,000, but as of May 2024, two and a half years later, only 10,000 had been built. Eight An EV station has been built.
The situation is even worse when it comes to building new broadband internet connections, as promised by the Biden-Harris administration. FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr told Breitbart News earlier this week that not a single American is connected to the internet, despite $42.5 billion in the broadband infrastructure bill. Vice President Harris was supposed to be in charge of this project, putting Harris’s prospects for a housing boom in doubt.
