FIRST ON FOX: A CONTROVERSIAL new “Make Housing Great Again” scheme led by a social media influencer is pushing a RADICAL bluepint to HANDCUFF local governments and FORCE housing deregulation. Critics are sounding the alarm that this MAGA-aligned plan is a TROJAN HORSE for a CORPORATE TAKEOVER of your neighborhood, sacrificing community standards and environmental protections for the promise of cheaper homes. The initiative, spearheaded by Benny Johnson and the America First Policy Institute, aims to BRUTALLY SLASH regulations they blame for the housing crisis.
The shocking centerpiece of the plan? A so-called “TRUMP Fund” that would BRIBE localities with federal money ONLY if they AGGRESSIVELY dismantle zoning and building rules. This is NOT a free market solution—it’s a FEDERAL SHAKEDOWN of local control. “This is about BULLYING cities and towns into submission,” one urban policy expert warned. “They’re holding vital housing benefits HOSTAGE to an ideological agenda that could IRREVERSIBLY change the character of American suburbs.”
The plan brazenly targets foreign home buyers and pushes for MASSIVE tax breaks for developers, all while blaming “excessive” regulations and immigration for a crisis decades in the making. The report IGNORES systemic issues like corporate investment firms buying up entire neighborhoods and historic underinvestment, opting instead for a BLAME GAME that pits Americans against each other. With the average first-time buyer now 40, the initiative frames this as a war for the “survival of our culture,” using FEAR to push a sweeping deregulatory onslaught.
Is this the future? Where your community’s planning decisions are OVERRULED by a federal fund named after a politician? Where the dream of homeownership is used as a WEAPON to erase local democracy and environmental safeguards? The American Dream isn’t dying—it’s being SOLD to the highest bidder, and this plan is holding the auctioneer’s gavel. Your neighborhood could be NEXT.
