    Observations from the front lines of the Irvine housing market?

    The only way to make housing more affordable is to increase supply.  You do that by encouraging development and density and discouraging holding of vacant/undeveloped property. So, reduce zoning restrictions and tax land value. Not really Fed/Congress policies. It has to happen at the state...

    Observations from the front lines of the Irvine housing market?

    That proposal exempts rental properties and is intended to reduce vacancy rate. In a really ham handed way imo. Just tax the value of the land and holding vacant or undeveloped property will be disincentivized.
