Short-term thinking, guys. Tariffs only make goods more expensive if you buy foreign goods! I think initially some items will be unavoidably high, until America makes or sources it better! The before mentioned being the point to Make America GreaT Again! Lol.
You are absolutely right! Corporate Greed! Plus these Corporations play on having us blame each other for everything going wrong! The same old story Blame the Victim!!!
11:29 Not only that; if immigrant labor who pick the veggies 🥕 out the ground is taken away and citizens get hired to do the job (which I highly doubt) will ask for higher pay for this type of work (on knees or bending for 8hours under hot sun). We’ll see out veggie prices go up 🔝 in cost. I also hate when it’s said that immigrants are coming to the U.S. to steal jobs.. really? How is an immigrant going to take the job of the crop picking citizen?
I agree with you. People are so angry right now that the easy fix is to blame immigrants. Get real people....how many citizens do you know that will work in the fields like immigrants? I'll wait.....
Think about this, for just a second. The argument is 'Undocumented Workers, or Documented Workers on Seasonal Employment, are abused by the Industry... we should keep that advantage!". It shouldn't take it being US getting the Jobs as the reason for saying the Wages should be higher! Your argument boils down to, and I don't think you intended or realized this... 'Exploitation of this Class is a Benefit'.
Does it seem unethical to anyone else to want to keep undocumented workers around so that we can pay them less for their labor and in turn pay less for our goods? Yikes
@@ReynaDPerez Cost of picking vegetables determines profit. Supply and demand determines price. Now you may be right, could be right, but if so only to the extent that a supply and demand value of vegetables allow. But what would occur for sure, is a more livable wage would be paid for the vegetables to be picked. Why? Because a finite supply of labor means labor is more valuable.
If you buy a property for land value, and there is a structure on it, can you have the fire department use it as practice to burn it down to save on haul away cost.
Just so everyone knows, there's some conditions that will make a house not eligible for this. My parents bought their first house which wasn't eligible for this because it was too close to the neighbor, another was too close to a body of water.
I think tariffs create a more equal way of taxing on top of that it puts a "do I really need this" in the equation adding to reduce waste and 2nd 3rd used/recycled markets, Costs will go up no matter what, how the costs are distributed to minimize impact on all sectors is the real game.
we need to get back to production of materials HERE in the USA!!!! Clothes, shoes, supplies, etc!!! When everything including steel was processed here, including cars, prices were very affordable!!!! Lets be real. Property tax for personal and businesses jack up prices even for gas!!! We do NOT NEED CHINA!!!! Or mexico.
There is a lot of fear mongering because of ppls political positions. They have VERY limited historical knowledge and defer to some economist who works for a political party. At one time, our taxes were like 10% of our income, and the majority of the government was funded by tariffs. If you lower taxes and raise tarriffs, you offset the cost of government funding to other countries and remove tax burden from American citizens. Almost nothing will change for us. The price of materials may go up, but the cost savibg from tax reduction will offset the cost to the consumer. People tweaking over this have studied very little economics and are driven by political bias.
My husband works in construction and we struggle with his work going to cheap workers more and more. If the tariffs raise the cost of building a home the contractors will struggle with raising their prices because the market is only willing to pay so much. It’s basic supply/demand.

Just to let you know I have a tree farm in N Fl. Constantly fighting with tree huggers that don’t like trees being cut. It is a farm crop like corn or lettuce or anything else. It just takes longer to grow. They are planted in rows. And replaced when clear cut. There is a chip factory less than 2 miles from my tree farm.
Yes, same in Pacific Northwest. Trees grow so fast we have to pay someone to cut them down every few years. Homesteader say 6 acres homestead will produce more than enough wood for a family. We have to import Canadian lumbers due to tree huggers and logging laws. California burns millions acres every year and Yellow Stone park burned for months because we don’t allow cutting trees for healthier forest. There are corporate greeds but there are environmentalists greeds too. Many top law school graduates go into environmental litigation because they make more money litigation solar farms in desert than helping them build more solar or wind farms.
@@johnnyli4702 This is untrue. Real fast. Ask Google or ChatGPT for these following 3 Things. Average Price Per Year on: Gas, Bread, Milk, Eggs. You will find that indeed, prices fluctuate, they go up AND down. These are the Grocery Store Prices and the Gas Prices... the things that Low Income Americans are MOST concerned with. The statement "Prices never go back down" is a gross generalization that is often misused and spoken as some 'truth', when there are a variety of reasons that prices indeed do go down all the time to refute it. It's about Averages Over Time, not Specific Moments in Time. We REALLY must stop saying false, untrue things... because of the 'averages'. For instance, in 2015 Large Grade A Eggs were 2.40. But in 2020 they were only 1.51. Well sure, but Avian Flu, right? Okay, but that 1.51 in 2020 was also cheaper than the 1.66 in 2010. Prices can, and do, go down. And up. It's not one or the other, that's now how any of this works.
If we are truly short on inventory, then why is the inventory increasing nationally. Our definition of how we calculate inventory might need to change.
@Kristina Smallhorn There is quite a bit of land outside of Zions National Park in Southern Utah that is Federal land, dessert, unused. The state of Utah wants it to build more state campgrounds with full hook ups for the tourist industry. There is quite a shortage of camping sites for all the RV tourists. Zions is Gorgeous!! It would also help visitors to Bryce Canyon National Park. I’d say it would be great for the economy, providing more jobs, and folks wanting to visit. It would also keep camping RV site costs down. As a current shortage, the prices are super high.
Let's walk through this. 1: The issue with building new houses in America is not cost... it's Zoning Laws. Tariffs have no impact on Zoning Laws. 2: We're talking about Wood. "The US is one of the world's largest producers of Lumber, and in 2022 produced 186 Million Cubic Meters.". Hmm... it's not like we're not going to have a lack of resources here. Now don't get me wrong... this doesn't change the argument that prices will go up. But also, more Americans, specifically in the Lumber Section, will be working for Companies doing MORE business and have more Employment Stability. This has the opportunity of Increasing Wages for those Workers. 3: If the COST of Housing goes up... the VALUE of Housing goes up. As Home Owners, which do we like better... when the House is devalued or when the house goes up in Value? Since we Own it, since we can Take Loans against it, since it's an Asset, do we like when it's worth more, or when it's worth less? There are no perfect answers... but we should look at all sides of the equation.
As a person who grew up in Western Oregon I have to agree with you. The reason we import so much timber and also the reason we have so many huge forest fires is because of the environmentalists didn't allow the timber companies to log or even selectively cut the timber, not even on privately owned land in many cases.
Did anyone mention the last time orange Putin added tariffs he had to subsidize the farmers who could no longer sell their goods over seas. We lost so much money.
We live in on top of the world FL, 40 minutes from the villages. Our development is 10k homes with all kinds of amenities, it is fantastic. We get all that and are living way cheaper than we did in MN. Bought our basic no nonscense 3-2 concrete block home for 184 cash. The villages is their own zip code and the homes are not built as well. There are super wild seniors "enjoying" the help there and the Lufas are real. Hang a green one, you only want money Hang a rainbow one and you are open to anything Lots of swingers, not us, so that's why we didn't buy there. Our place is way more sane.
@@Crystal-uj9wh it’s the cost of raw materials that we don’t have that will inflate prices. It’s the cost of labor in the USA that will also drive up those costs.
@@KristinaSmallhorn There is actually tons of homes out there that need to renovated. It is crazy to buy a new home. Even mansion's left by the government. So much waste.
@@Crystal-uj9wh tariffs can increase the costs of home renovations as well, particularly if those tariffs apply to materials commonly used in construction and remodeling. For instance: 1. Higher Material Costs: Tariffs on imported materials like steel, aluminum, lumber, and tiles directly raise prices. If a significant amount of these materials is imported, a tariff would make them more expensive, thus increasing renovation costs for things like roofing, framing, windows, or fixtures. 2. Increased Equipment Prices: Tariffs on equipment and tools, such as power tools or specialized machinery, could drive up costs if these tools are imported or rely on imported components. 3. Higher Supply Chain Costs: Tariffs can affect transportation and logistics expenses, increasing the cost of getting materials to suppliers and, ultimately, to your renovation site. 4. Labor Costs: When material costs rise, contractors often pass these expenses to homeowners. In addition, if demand drops because fewer people can afford renovations, contractors might have to cut jobs, which can create labor shortages and increase costs for skilled labor. Tariffs can make every step of the renovation process more expensive, as higher material and equipment prices trickle down to the end cost for homeowners.
So I guess if you need to fix your homes it is best to fix it up now if you can. I know one thing I was planning to move out of state but will stay, buy less stuff and stock up what I can.
Some of those supplies to make those products in the United States will still need importing and will still have tariffs, the lumber, the drywall, the wiring components, the steel, the gypsum, just to name a few things.
On the crowdfunding question, there have already been multiple tiny home crowdfunding campaigns but most of them went under after getting funded. I contributed to at least two and am out like 30k.
Don't you just love it when a politician says he will eliminate unnecessary regulations, but won't tell you which regulations he plans to cut? Does he mean regulations like the one that requires homes in hurricane prone areas be able to withstand 140 MPH winds? That unnecessary regulation? Or the regulation that requires smoke and CO2 detectors in all new construction? That unnecessary regulation? Or the regulation that prohibits the use of aluminum house wiring? Or that regulation that regulates the size and type of plastic pipes that are allowed to be used in homes? Or that other pesky regulation that requires the roof to be attached with straps to prevent it from blowing off during a storm? Or the one that requires the ground under a house to be treated for termites? Or the regulation that requires houses in low lying areas prone to flooding be raised up on stilts? Or the regulation that prohibits houses from being built so close together you could shake hands with your neighbor through a side window? Or that regulation that requires off-street parking for all units? And all those other regulations that were put in place so that future homeowners don't find themselves saddled with huge repair bills for sub-standard construction practices? Are those the unnecessary regulations that politicians are talking about cutting? I'd sure like to know what they are.
If political candidates took the time to answer all Your detailed questions as well as those of others, then elections would have to be held every 10 years or so.
@@eldnah2 So they have a plan but they can't even hire a few people to write out a 1-3 paragraph description of what that plan is and what would be impacted because of it? Really? 😵😵
the government should force residential home sales to non commercial entities. Or at least not allow companies to buy up homes by the hundreds or thousands, that's the real issue. You have Joe and Jan competing against corporations that's looking to dry up inventory so that they can make tons of money.
I agree with you. There has been 3 separate bills sitting with the house of representatives for over a year that haven’t even been brought to a vote. Politicians are not going to vote against these corporations because they pay for their campaigns on BOTH sides of the isle.

Builder incentives!!!! I would like to see a cost cutting tax benefit for any builder to build no nonsense 3-2 brick homes for reasonable prices rather than mc Mansions!!!
Regulations are not contributing to housing shortage, and certianly not adding 90k to price of new house. The real issue is that there arent enough people around to swing hammers and pour concrete. There are 3 large developments going in around my house for over 2 years now. They are not even one quarter done yet and sit vacant most of the time. Every 4 or 5 months there will be a burst of activity for a few weeks, then all the workers disappear and move on to another project.
Same for most of the country, including my area (Northeast) - not enough workers building homes, so the existing contractors drive up the building prices because they don't have much competition
The premise of this article is totally flawed. 1. Curtailing immigration at the level it is now will not hurt the job market, it will help. Anyone who owns a construction company knows that most of the “amnesty” immigrants are not employable, they are subsidized, and sedentary. Pulling immigration back to normal rates is the plan. 2. Terrifs are a tax, flaw in the argument is that the vast majority of “base” home building materials are US, Canada, Mexico. More drywall is made in GA than all of Canada and Mexico combined. Lumber mills? Here. Windows? Hang out in the south, Anderson and all of their many subsidiaries GA, AL, etc. Federal land thing agree, dead issue, non productive. The US will need to subsidize materials manufacturing and slowly build back supply or anyone could agree, Tariffs will cost.
Curtailing immigration: higher wages for replacement as the supply is drenched. Or impossible to find "lowskilled" willing workers. Cost will eventually go up.
Your immigration argument completely left out mass deportations. How many young, American men and women are willing to go work in the fields (agriculture)?? What's this going to do to our prices on food?
I lived in a RV, bought a piece of land, repo trailer, owner finance private trust, NO HOA and FB truck. Stop financing S*** it starts with us. My smart neighbor put a container on his built up land.. I would have lived in my car to get where I am. FIGHT!
I am so glad there are RUclipsrs like you with a cool head and non-divisive. You are so right about tariffs is a cost burden to our consumers, not the country where the products from. And it is only a simple thought process when undocumented immigrants are being deported, it will simply raise that cost of construction industry. Reality has no political affiliation.
4:21 I don’t think 12 months of planning and development is really that long, especially when you see houses and whole neighborhoods even after all that planning still face issues with landslides and unstable soil conditions.
the local municipal inspectors are out of control by issuing permits without an ordinance to go with it, unreasonable delays. Do you think there will be a correction at the local level?
There are also major benefits to Tarrifs. They increase our own production, increase jobs and reduce our taxes. If you reduce our taxes buyers will quailify for more

If people think tariffs are going to raise prices, they won't. Look back 4 years ago, those tariffs brought down prices. People just want to cry, they will be fine, things will be better and prices will come back to reality.
What you're saying here flies in the face of pretty much all of history. Moreover, Trump is proposing massive tariffs on pretty much everything, not just targeted items or sectors. That has never worked out anywhere. The last time we tried that it was called the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. I urge you to look up how that worked out. it is considered one of the biggest economic fiascos in US history. Not only did it crush consumers, it crushed exporters, and it inflamed international tensions because tariffs pretty much always result in trade wars and endless unintended consequences which can end up in real wars. It took YEARS to recover from it once we abandoned the whole thing because it was such an unmitigated disaster. And what Trump wants to do will make it look like nothing because SH occurred in a day when we weren't really a global society. Today, pretty much everything has foreign inputs and outputs so these tariffs will cause utter chaos. Pretty much every economist, including every Nobel winner, is saying that if Trump implements these tariffs, especially in the light of his other "policies", we will end up in a place that makes the Great Recession look like nothing. Even Trump's own economic team from his first term says so. Christ, even Musk, who Trump has pegged to be his guiding light, is being pretty honest that all this will cause a lot of pain and require a lot of sacrifice but that somehow, eventually, we will emerge into a new utopia.
Home builders ect need to learn to absorb some cost before deciding to pass 100% on to consumer. Increase volume. The easy answer to just pass cost on is not always the best answer.
I disagree. I value human lives especially homeless children more than any environmental cause. Why are we conserving environment if not for the future generations of human. Bacteria and insects can do fine in much warmer moist climate. He should not use that as an excuse to bulldoze environmentally sensitive areas either. We the people need to voice our opinions and make politicians listen. Unfortunately democrat politicians didn’t listen to “the people” this time around. That is why “He” won.
He did put a tariff on washing machines and they went up in price pretty significantly. He didnt do anything to the extent hes proposed now on his 1st term
@@deepblue523flThe problem was American washing machine companies could have wiped out imported washing machine companies, but they got greedy and raised American made washing machine price. But, I cannot blame the American washing machine companies either, because Biden came in and gave out free money, which made everyone to quit working and raise price to go up. Nobody refused free money. Housing prices went up, no brokers lowered brokerage fees. We were all greedy. Tariff did ruin Chinese economy and they are far less capable of starting a war. But they are still building an aircraft carrier every 2 years, and building 10 destroyers every 18 months. America is building one aircraft carrier on 3 year schedule but it is delayed for 3 years. We are supposed to build two destroyers every 30 months but we have problem building 1 on time. We need to knock down more of Chinese economy otherwise all our saving will go to a war in one year and we might lose. Even if we don’t go to a war, stronger China can buy out Taiwan and South Korea which makes 90% of chips for our technologies. Tesla, Apple, nVidia, and Wall Street needs chips. Our military needs chips. Intel cannot make advanced chips like Taiwan or Korea any time soon.
@@kulkrafts3143 American appliance manufacturers couldn't wipe out Chinese or Korean appliance manufacturers unless they get heavy subsidies from the US government, even with subsidies they still want be able to beat the Chinese because American labor is more expensive. Trump was the one who gave out money to Americans first during the pandemic, the Biden administration continued the hand out to American businesses. Bottom line is America needs a recession or consolidation of some sort because the deficit is out of control and Trump will only add to the deficit if he follows through on his campaign promises.
The bottom line we don't have an industrial base like we did years ago. We have to buy from other nations. And tariffs will always increase prices especially on items that we don't produce. PS last time he was in office some parks were opened for oil exploratioin.
Ask this question. Who wants to buy a new house? Right. Primarily, young people. But if they can't afford the houses, they can't buy. So, no matter how high prices get hiked, eventually, prices will have to accommodate them. If not, the building will have to stop. Young people don't have the credit for high priced housing. This is the result of "No new taxes" and government over spending. And on the Fiat currency system, the government can just print more money, but that makes everyone's money worth less.
I don't know any young person expecting or wanting to buy a brand new home. Maybe this is a geographical thing...but most I know would be thrilled to have even an older home as long as it's livable. Everything is just too expensive. And most things in their price range are fixer uppers with a cash only deal, and swooped up by someone else with that kind of cash. Plus, big corps are buying up all the affordable homes to rent out. This needs to stop.
They say don't bother with college because it's not affordable and it leaves you in a lot of debt. So unless you get a really high paying job and the very few sectors that are left, it's not worth it for most people
However educated society improve their societal living standards and productivity. Europeans became colonial power because of their superior education system and Japan and South Korea became high GDP per capita nation by over educating culture. South Korea was ranked third poorest nation on Earth in 1960. And, hopefully more educated people would vote more wisely but Europe and same East Asian countries show that greed is stronger than knowledge in voting process.
Please do not forget house repair, upgrades and rentals are affect by both Tariffs and deportation. Also to the Federal lands just remember "This is America" as long as you have a buck anything is possible. So Federal parks are up for grabs by private developers to bulid resorts/ exclusive neighborhoods . As to the regulations who want to live near poisoned land or rivers 🤔
U r right, we the consumer will eat the high cost. Maybe the ones that has been paying tax & are not documented will get a pass but only the ones that just arrived in the end of 2023 & 2024 needs to be sent back? That Tariffs will not work according to the history when it was implemented. Rebel capital a RUclipsr channel, video by George, he explains why it will not work. Everything will cost more for us all across the board with tariffs tax.
When discussing the use of federal lands, be very careful about lauding their use. Pay close attention to the environmental studies before development because these lands may have been declared a Superfund site once upon a time. And for those curious, NEVER, EVER buy a home built over a superfund site; unless you want weird, unexpected severe health issues.
Tariffs make American products more competitive. Yes, initially they MAY be more expensive. But this causes money to circulate, and biz to develop in America. Yall do get it. What’s more interesting, is when the gov stops preventing foreclosures!!!! 😅
missed the boat on explaining options on storage solutions for first caller. Do a search on internet for large storage structures that can be bought for $5000-10000. Also, why not buy at least one shipping container that doesn't need air con. So for $15000 dollars the first caller could own two structures on her property and ten times easier than dealing with older mobile homes.
Tarrifs are going to be alot better than being over taxed at least with a tariff we have a choice wether we buy American and pay no tax or buy foreign aid pay a tariff that’s all
The deportations could almost completely stop the residential construction the drywallers,roofers, painters, landscapers, framers, foundation guys are all typically Hispanic of those I would say at least 50% not legal. On the tariffs what they should do is on building materials there’s no tariffs on finished products sure.
I just heard an economist say that when we had tariffs on China that China absorbed the extra costs of them. That's all I know. I have no idea how it works .
China is a dictator nation. They can print money all day long. Nobody will stop them and nobody cares just like Putin in Russia. It makes Chinese currency worthless, which is fine in China since they want to make their products cheap and export. But, lower currency cannot pay for expensive engineers they want to hire from Taiwan or Korea. Low value Chinese Yuan makes difficult to import expensive equipment from Germany or Japan. Chinese technology falls behind, Chinese financial institutions, EV factories and Chinese military cannot get Artificial Intelligence to compete with US.
That makes no sense that the manufacturer will absorb the tariffs. If a China manufacturer charges a USA based distributor $20 for a bathroom faucet and the US government places a 100% tariff on it, where will the manufacturer get the $20 to pay the tariff? That would leave him with zero revenue for the faucet. If the China manufacturer raises his charge to $40, then a 100% tariff goes to $40, thus again, no revenue for the manufacturer. The only way a tariff can work is if the China manufacturer charges $20, and the USA distributor pays the $20 tariff and then adds the tariff onto the price of the product when he sells it to a consumer. So in this case, the USA distributor payed $20 for the faucet plus a $20 tariff for a total cost of $40 for the faucet. Then he adds his markup which usually means double the price, and now he sells it for $80. Previously the faucet only cost the consumer $40, but now it doubled in price to $80. There is no way anyone can make a China manufacturer pay for the tariff and still allow him to stay in business.
@bobblacka918 because they HAVE to depend on the American consumer. If they sell the items for the same price Americans will opt for the American made product. The profit margins for Chinese manufacturers are massive because their labor is so cheap. They will give up a portion of their profit margin to pay for tariffs because they can't survive without Americans buying their product. If you abolish income taxes, or shrink them massively, they offset the potential raised cost to the consumer. Also, there are TONS of anti-competitive regulations that drive up the cost of lumber here in the US. If you reduce those regulations it will also keep the prices lowers. Here is ALWAYS ways of making tariffs less costly to the consumer.
@@hardbrocklife2 A 100% tariff is always equal to the cost of the item. So a 100% tariff would completely wipe out the revenue from selling the product. If a faucet made in China normally was sold to a distributor for $20, and they lowered the price to $10, the entire $10 would have to be turned over to the American government. It doesn't matter how much they lower the price, whatever price they choose would always have to be completely given to the US customs. That's why it is impossible for the Chinese factory to pay the tariff. It has to be the importer or distributor which will, in turn, pass that on to the American consumer.
Yes. Insurance for those structures would be tough since they have been moved before. If you are renting them out the renters could get renters insurance but the structure itself would be tough to get anyone to write a policy.

We will get back our American made everything which will balance out the cost. When we made everything here ourselves prices were very affordable. Including gas. Sorry for trolling.
Really? That ship has sailed. American workers are not going to work for sweat shop wages under sweat shop conditions like they do in high manufacturing countries like China. The cost of American-made products will be barely affordable when you consider hourly wages, insurance, etc....and that is all passed on to the consumer. Cheap manufacturing in the USA is a bygone era. Politicians who claim otherwise are lying. Certain jobs are gone and will never come back sadly.
Instead of a $25000 down payment kick starter, we get a tariff con job that will push new homes further out of reach while rentals continue to cost more.
After building a house or should I say have a house built. It is the middle man AKA General Contractor that is a big cost. I worked out the budget with labor and materials. The bank and city, made me get a general. It tacked on 100,000. Then he cut corners on material. Then he hire illegals. So you’re right the companies are about making money. And the tariffs are used to gauge the prices. 10% tariff with cause a 300% price increase.
Here’s an idea. Increase the tariffs to the point where the income tax can be eliminated. The tax and spend Democrats will never go along with losing the cash cow income tax but this has been done in America during McKinley’s administration. This would stimulate the economy by giving American’s all of what they have rightfully earned to spend on whatever they choose.
So if we can force people from other countries to work cheaper than we will, is that ethical and moral? And how long can we force people to do that before they lose confidence in and rebel against the force of the US and the US dollar?
@jasneskis Well, yes, welfare seems to be a psychological trap. It's interesting that the best thing we can do, better than voting imo, is praying for each other, and reaching out with love to our neighbors, to influence the culture toward Old Testament Godliness, if not Christianity.
They are not forced they do it on purpose till we depend on them to do it, they force out people who did that work because we can't afford to take less pay. They can rent a house with 8 adults but we can't. It's not forced work force it's well planned.
The reason for tariffs is more businesses are developed on home soil less dependency on other countries especially China. Which will result in lower pricing, oil is a prime example when we were energy independent prices were the lowest, in the last 3.5 years we purchased from others resulting higher prices. Let's not forget during the pandemic China was short supplying the US on many of the needed medications, which should have been produced here.
@@branmichaluk445 yeah that's the idea and I do agree if done right will work, but the modern economy is very globally connected. You would need significant investment and time (many years and possibly decades) to get a point of lowering prices. Companies are not gonna foot that bill and either get their goods from somewhere else and/or pass the costs to the consumer. This will raise prices in the short term drastically with no guarantee it will lower prices in the long term. Not to mention the massive trade war might cause.
Labor cost going up does not mean price of house goes up. Cost increase does not mean cost transferred to buyer. Supply and demand determines price Proof: If labor cost were lowered...to you believe home builder would sell less than market value. No, the builder would not sell for less than he could get in the market. Cost determines profits. Supply and demand determines price.
Or they will divert to the luxury market and build custom for those who can make the profit worth it for them. Still, no starter homes and people on the lower end will be squeezed because they will either have to buy at a higher cost or sellers will stay put.

I’m looking at this very pragmatic hopeful he was blowing smoke about the huge tariffs he spoke about.if you want me to be honest, Kamala’s plan was garbage for affordable housing. Calling for “3 million homes to be built”. Is just words, no real way to get those homes built. Giving money to first time homebuyers will just drive up costs. If she had won I’d be making a livestream how her plan would drive housing costs up.
@KristinaSmallhorn Is there another strategy that's better than tarrifs for bringing back the production of essential products and resources to the USA?
@@joeykoehn6038 IMO the strategy of cutting red tape during the development of land would be huge for the home building industry. I agree with deregulation on some aspects of the home building process most of that could be cut in half. Also tax incentives to home builders to build smaller more affordable homes would increase supply as most Americans entering into the housing market are having a hard time finding a smaller more affordable home.
@@KristinaSmallhornPrivate Equity firms need to be reigned in. They’ve been buying up all previously affordable houses, apartment buildings and land.

Many elderly in Retirement Trailer home communities can no longer afford outrageous land rents after private equity bought up the land that their homes sit upon as well.
@ you are correct. I have a bunch of videos about this. They have proposed bills sitting in the house for over a year that haven’t even been put on the docket to be voted on.

You and I understand tariffs will or may cost us more.
Short-term thinking, guys. Tariffs only make goods more expensive if you buy foreign goods! I think initially some items will be unavoidably high, until America makes or sources it better! The before mentioned being the point to Make America GreaT Again! Lol.

11:29 Not only that; if immigrant labor who pick the veggies 🥕 out the ground is taken away and citizens get hired to do the job (which I highly doubt) will ask for higher pay for this type of work (on knees or bending for 8hours under hot sun). We’ll see out veggie prices go up 🔝 in cost. I also hate when it’s said that immigrants are coming to the U.S. to steal jobs.. really? How is an immigrant going to take the job of the crop picking citizen?

Think about this, for just a second. The argument is 'Undocumented Workers, or Documented Workers on Seasonal Employment, are abused by the Industry... we should keep that advantage!".
It shouldn't take it being US getting the Jobs as the reason for saying the Wages should be higher! Your argument boils down to, and I don't think you intended or realized this... 'Exploitation of this Class is a Benefit'.
Does it seem unethical to anyone else to want to keep undocumented workers around so that we can pay them less for their labor and in turn pay less for our goods? Yikes
@@ReynaDPerez Cost of picking vegetables determines profit. Supply and demand determines price.
Now you may be right, could be right, but if so only to the extent that a supply and demand value of vegetables allow. But what would occur for sure, is a more livable wage would be paid for the vegetables to be picked. Why? Because a finite supply of labor means labor is more valuable.
If you buy a property for land value, and there is a structure on it, can you have the fire department use it as practice to burn it down to save on haul away cost.
Just so everyone knows, there's some conditions that will make a house not eligible for this. My parents bought their first house which wasn't eligible for this because it was too close to the neighbor, another was too close to a body of water.
They dont practice by letting a structure burn to complete ashes...think about this idea a little longer
Depends on local zoning laws
My grandfather did that with a house just outside our city limits in the 70’s …. The volunteer fire department used it for a training fire.
I think tariffs create a more equal way of taxing on top of that it puts a "do I really need this" in the equation adding to reduce waste and 2nd 3rd used/recycled markets, Costs will go up no matter what, how the costs are distributed to minimize impact on all sectors is the real game.

There is a lot of fear mongering because of ppls political positions. They have VERY limited historical knowledge and defer to some economist who works for a political party.
At one time, our taxes were like 10% of our income, and the majority of the government was funded by tariffs. If you lower taxes and raise tarriffs, you offset the cost of government funding to other countries and remove tax burden from American citizens. Almost nothing will change for us. The price of materials may go up, but the cost savibg from tax reduction will offset the cost to the consumer.
People tweaking over this have studied very little economics and are driven by political bias.
They will never lower the price to less than the tariff price. Profit over people
I agree 100% we need to build it and keep the $$$ here.
My husband works in construction and we struggle with his work going to cheap workers more and more. If the tariffs raise the cost of building a home the contractors will struggle with raising their prices because the market is only willing to pay so much. It’s basic supply/demand.
what tariffs???? we need to go back to producing materials and supplies HERE!!! We do NOT need china or mexico!

Just to let you know I have a tree farm in N Fl. Constantly fighting with tree huggers that don’t like trees being cut. It is a farm crop like corn or lettuce or anything else. It just takes longer to grow. They are planted in rows. And replaced when clear cut. There is a chip factory less than 2 miles from my tree farm.
Yes, same in Pacific Northwest. Trees grow so fast we have to pay someone to cut them down every few years. Homesteader say 6 acres homestead will produce more than enough wood for a family.
We have to import Canadian lumbers due to tree huggers and logging laws. California burns millions acres every year and Yellow Stone park burned for months because we don’t allow cutting trees for healthier forest.

Real fast. Ask Google or ChatGPT for these following 3 Things. Average Price Per Year on: Gas, Bread, Milk, Eggs.
You will find that indeed, prices fluctuate, they go up AND down. These are the Grocery Store Prices and the Gas Prices... the things that Low Income Americans are MOST concerned with.
The statement "Prices never go back down" is a gross generalization that is often misused and spoken as some 'truth', when there are a variety of reasons that prices indeed do go down all the time to refute it. It's about Averages Over Time, not Specific Moments in Time. We REALLY must stop saying false, untrue things... because of the 'averages'.
For instance, in 2015 Large Grade A Eggs were 2.40. But in 2020 they were only 1.51. Well sure, but Avian Flu, right? Okay, but that 1.51 in 2020 was also cheaper than the 1.66 in 2010. Prices can, and do, go down. And up. It's not one or the other, that's now how any of this works.

@Kristina Smallhorn There is quite a bit of land outside of Zions National Park in Southern Utah that is Federal land, dessert, unused. The state of Utah wants it to build more state campgrounds with full hook ups for the tourist industry. There is quite a shortage of camping sites for all the RV tourists. Zions is Gorgeous!! It would also help visitors to Bryce Canyon National Park. I’d say it would be great for the economy, providing more jobs, and folks wanting to visit. It would also keep camping RV site costs down. As a current shortage, the prices are super high.
I’ve actually been out there. There is a ton of used land.
Let's walk through this.
1: The issue with building new houses in America is not cost... it's Zoning Laws. Tariffs have no impact on Zoning Laws.
2: We're talking about Wood. "The US is one of the world's largest producers of Lumber, and in 2022 produced 186 Million Cubic Meters.". Hmm... it's not like we're not going to have a lack of resources here. Now don't get me wrong... this doesn't change the argument that prices will go up. But also, more Americans, specifically in the Lumber Section, will be working for Companies doing MORE business and have more Employment Stability. This has the opportunity of Increasing Wages for those Workers.
3: If the COST of Housing goes up... the VALUE of Housing goes up. As Home Owners, which do we like better... when the House is devalued or when the house goes up in Value? Since we Own it, since we can Take Loans against it, since it's an Asset, do we like when it's worth more, or when it's worth less?
There are no perfect answers... but we should look at all sides of the equation.
We have plenty of lumber here there's no reason for the prices to keep going up
Those who control the market have the whip hand. The economic ignorance of the electorate is why we are here now.
and sand and concrete!! Property taxes for personal and business jacks up prices for everything!
As a person who grew up in Western Oregon I have to agree with you. The reason we import so much timber and also the reason we have so many huge forest fires is because of the environmentalists didn't allow the timber companies to log or even selectively cut the timber, not even on privately owned land in many cases.
Why do you hate the free market?

We better start manufacturing in our county to keep cost low. More people are buying and renovating then buying new homes.
@@Crystal-uj9wh it’s the cost of raw materials that we don’t have that will inflate prices. It’s the cost of labor in the USA that will also drive up those costs.
@@KristinaSmallhorn There is actually tons of homes out there that need to renovated. It is crazy to buy a new home. Even mansion's left by the government. So much waste.
@@Crystal-uj9wh tariffs can increase the costs of home renovations as well, particularly if those tariffs apply to materials commonly used in construction and remodeling. For instance:
1. Higher Material Costs: Tariffs on imported materials like steel, aluminum, lumber, and tiles directly raise prices. If a significant amount of these materials is imported, a tariff would make them more expensive, thus increasing renovation costs for things like roofing, framing, windows, or fixtures.
2. Increased Equipment Prices: Tariffs on equipment and tools, such as power tools or specialized machinery, could drive up costs if these tools are imported or rely on imported components.
3. Higher Supply Chain Costs: Tariffs can affect transportation and logistics expenses, increasing the cost of getting materials to suppliers and, ultimately, to your renovation site.
4. Labor Costs: When material costs rise, contractors often pass these expenses to homeowners. In addition, if demand drops because fewer people can afford renovations, contractors might have to cut jobs, which can create labor shortages and increase costs for skilled labor.
Tariffs can make every step of the renovation process more expensive, as higher material and equipment prices trickle down to the end cost for homeowners.
Mansions left by the government? Huh? @@Crystal-uj9wh

Or that other pesky regulation that requires the roof to be attached with straps to prevent it from blowing off during a storm?

Or that regulation that requires off-street parking for all units?

Regulations are not contributing to housing shortage, and certianly not adding 90k to price of new house. The real issue is that there arent enough people around to swing hammers and pour concrete. There are 3 large developments going in around my house for over 2 years now. They are not even one quarter done yet and sit vacant most of the time. Every 4 or 5 months there will be a burst of activity for a few weeks, then all the workers disappear and move on to another project.
Same for most of the country, including my area (Northeast) - not enough workers building homes, so the existing contractors drive up the building prices because they don't have much competition
Another question would it be easier or better to build a mobile park or a housing development
The premise of this article is totally flawed.
1. Curtailing immigration at the level it is now will not hurt the job market, it will help. Anyone who owns a construction company knows that most of the “amnesty” immigrants are not employable, they are subsidized, and sedentary. Pulling immigration back to normal rates is the plan.
2. Terrifs are a tax, flaw in the argument is that the vast majority of “base” home building materials are US, Canada, Mexico. More drywall is made in GA than all of Canada and Mexico combined. Lumber mills? Here. Windows? Hang out in the south, Anderson and all of their many subsidiaries GA, AL, etc.
Federal land thing agree, dead issue, non productive.
The US will need to subsidize materials manufacturing and slowly build back supply or anyone could agree, Tariffs will cost.
Curtailing immigration: higher wages for replacement as the supply is drenched. Or impossible to find "lowskilled" willing workers. Cost will eventually go up.
Your immigration argument completely left out mass deportations. How many young, American men and women are willing to go work in the fields (agriculture)?? What's this going to do to our prices on food?
I lived in a RV, bought a piece of land, repo trailer, owner finance private trust, NO HOA and FB truck. Stop financing S*** it starts with us. My smart neighbor put a container on his built up land.. I would have lived in my car to get where I am. FIGHT!
I am so glad there are RUclipsrs like you with a cool head and non-divisive. You are so right about tariffs is a cost burden to our consumers, not the country where the products from. And it is only a simple thought process when undocumented immigrants are being deported, it will simply raise that cost of construction industry. Reality has no political affiliation.

What you're saying here flies in the face of pretty much all of history. Moreover, Trump is proposing massive tariffs on pretty much everything, not just targeted items or sectors. That has never worked out anywhere. The last time we tried that it was called the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. I urge you to look up how that worked out. it is considered one of the biggest economic fiascos in US history. Not only did it crush consumers, it crushed exporters, and it inflamed international tensions because tariffs pretty much always result in trade wars and endless unintended consequences which can end up in real wars. It took YEARS to recover from it once we abandoned the whole thing because it was such an unmitigated disaster. And what Trump wants to do will make it look like nothing because SH occurred in a day when we weren't really a global society. Today, pretty much everything has foreign inputs and outputs so these tariffs will cause utter chaos. Pretty much every economist, including every Nobel winner, is saying that if Trump implements these tariffs, especially in the light of his other "policies", we will end up in a place that makes the Great Recession look like nothing. Even Trump's own economic team from his first term says so. Christ, even Musk, who Trump has pegged to be his guiding light, is being pretty honest that all this will cause a lot of pain and require a lot of sacrifice but that somehow, eventually, we will emerge into a new utopia.
They have to eat the cost because nobody will buy it. Its a bad situation, but it just goes to show how unhealthy these regulations are for builders.
Home builders ect need to learn to absorb some cost before deciding to pass 100% on to consumer. Increase volume. The easy answer to just pass cost on is not always the best answer.

China is a dictator nation. They can print money all day long. Nobody will stop them and nobody cares just like Putin in Russia.
It makes Chinese currency worthless, which is fine in China since they want to make their products cheap and export.
But, lower currency cannot pay for expensive engineers they want to hire from Taiwan or Korea. Low value Chinese Yuan makes difficult to import expensive equipment from Germany or Japan. Chinese technology falls behind, Chinese financial institutions, EV factories and Chinese military cannot get Artificial Intelligence to compete with US.
That makes no sense that the manufacturer will absorb the tariffs. If a China manufacturer charges a USA based distributor $20 for a bathroom faucet and the US government places a 100% tariff on it, where will the manufacturer get the $20 to pay the tariff? That would leave him with zero revenue for the faucet. If the China manufacturer raises his charge to $40, then a 100% tariff goes to $40, thus again, no revenue for the manufacturer.
The only way a tariff can work is if the China manufacturer charges $20, and the USA distributor pays the $20 tariff and then adds the tariff onto the price of the product when he sells it to a consumer.
So in this case, the USA distributor payed $20 for the faucet plus a $20 tariff for a total cost of $40 for the faucet. Then he adds his markup which usually means double the price, and now he sells it for $80. Previously the faucet only cost the consumer $40, but now it doubled in price to $80. There is no way anyone can make a China manufacturer pay for the tariff and still allow him to stay in business.
@bobblacka918 because they HAVE to depend on the American consumer. If they sell the items for the same price Americans will opt for the American made product. The profit margins for Chinese manufacturers are massive because their labor is so cheap. They will give up a portion of their profit margin to pay for tariffs because they can't survive without Americans buying their product.
If you abolish income taxes, or shrink them massively, they offset the potential raised cost to the consumer. Also, there are TONS of anti-competitive regulations that drive up the cost of lumber here in the US. If you reduce those regulations it will also keep the prices lowers.
Here is ALWAYS ways of making tariffs less costly to the consumer.
@@hardbrocklife2 A 100% tariff is always equal to the cost of the item. So a 100% tariff would completely wipe out the revenue from selling the product. If a faucet made in China normally was sold to a distributor for $20, and they lowered the price to $10, the entire $10 would have to be turned over to the American government. It doesn't matter how much they lower the price, whatever price they choose would always have to be completely given to the US customs.
That's why it is impossible for the Chinese factory to pay the tariff. It has to be the importer or distributor which will, in turn, pass that on to the American consumer.
If the repoes are paid with cash can thry be lived in?
Yes. Insurance for those structures would be tough since they have been moved before. If you are renting them out the renters could get renters insurance but the structure itself would be tough to get anyone to write a policy.
If I had the money I would build right there where nowhere is
We will get back our American made everything which will balance out the cost. When we made everything here ourselves prices were very affordable. Including gas. Sorry for trolling.
Really? That ship has sailed. American workers are not going to work for sweat shop wages under sweat shop conditions like they do in high manufacturing countries like China. The cost of American-made products will be barely affordable when you consider hourly wages, insurance, etc....and that is all passed on to the consumer. Cheap manufacturing in the USA is a bygone era. Politicians who claim otherwise are lying. Certain jobs are gone and will never come back sadly.
Can you make me a toaster for $8?
I can PayPal it to you. LOL.
The illegal immigrants shouldn't be the ones building the houses anyway. There are plenty of legal immigrants jumping at these opportunities.
If you're white you are illegal, immoral at best. Stolen land!!!
Where?
Instead of a $25000 down payment kick starter, we get a tariff con job that will push new homes further out of reach while rentals continue to cost more.
Your $25K “kick starter” would actually be the policy that would “push new homes further out of reach”.
It blows my mind that people would vote for somebody that has sexually assaulted women and been charged 27 times
Ikr. And defrauded a children’s cancer charity
"question" can you trust these companies that want to play cab for your home or give you loans on your home
No!
Do your homework talk to a trusted realtor in your area. They can explain things to you
No!
After building a house or should I say have a house built. It is the middle man AKA General Contractor that is a big cost. I worked out the budget with labor and materials. The bank and city, made me get a general. It tacked on 100,000. Then he cut corners on material. Then he hire illegals. So you’re right the companies are about making money. And the tariffs are used to gauge the prices. 10% tariff with cause a 300% price increase.
I really don't know how he's going to do it.
Instead of cardboard box living, how about concrete culvert living?
Here’s an idea. Increase the tariffs to the point where the income tax can be eliminated. The tax and spend Democrats will never go along with losing the cash cow income tax but this has been done in America during McKinley’s administration. This would stimulate the economy by giving American’s all of what they have rightfully earned to spend on whatever they choose.
Foreclosures will be EVERYWHERE!!!! Investors get cash heavy!!!!
So if we can force people from other countries to work cheaper than we will, is that ethical and moral? And how long can we force people to do that before they lose confidence in and rebel against the force of the US and the US dollar?
How about not giving our people everything free so they have to work instead of relying on your tax dollar?
@jasneskis Well, yes, welfare seems to be a psychological trap. It's interesting that the best thing we can do, better than voting imo, is praying for each other, and reaching out with love to our neighbors, to influence the culture toward Old Testament Godliness, if not Christianity.
They are not forced they do it on purpose till we depend on them to do it, they force out people who did that work because we can't afford to take less pay. They can rent a house with 8 adults but we can't. It's not forced work force it's well planned.
@@joeykoehn6038talk about a physiological trap
Let's hope they backpedal on the tariffs but we'll see.
@@sloshedtrain or at least restructure how they plan on implementing it. The way it reads now things are about to get very expensive.
The reason for tariffs is more businesses are developed on home soil less dependency on other countries especially China.
Which will result in lower pricing, oil is a prime example when we were energy independent prices were the lowest, in the last 3.5 years we purchased from others resulting higher prices.
Let's not forget during the pandemic China was short supplying the US on many of the needed medications, which should have been produced here.
@@branmichaluk445 yeah that's the idea and I do agree if done right will work, but the modern economy is very globally connected. You would need significant investment and time (many years and possibly decades) to get a point of lowering prices. Companies are not gonna foot that bill and either get their goods from somewhere else and/or pass the costs to the consumer. This will raise prices in the short term drastically with no guarantee it will lower prices in the long term. Not to mention the massive trade war might cause.
They will.
" And a CONTRACTION, you meant...."
Cement and plastic houses in 3-2-1
Black rock should self insure.
Labor cost going up does not mean price of house goes up. Cost increase does not mean cost transferred to buyer. Supply and demand determines price
Proof: If labor cost were lowered...to you believe home builder would sell less than market value. No, the builder would not sell for less than he could get in the market. Cost determines profits. Supply and demand determines price.
So builders will stop building because they can’t make a profit and costs will go up.
Or they will divert to the luxury market and build custom for those who can make the profit worth it for them. Still, no starter homes and people on the lower end will be squeezed because they will either have to buy at a higher cost or sellers will stay put.
@@Amanda-xx7sjMaybe or maybe not. There is less profit and there is a lot of profit. And sometimes no profit. Also, there are some whom may be more or less efficient.
@@Amanda-xx7sj If there is room in luxury market, then maybe, assuming they can be competitive. And if a starter home market is abandoned, others may venture in with more efficient business plans.
American Craftsman still want all the so called unwanted jobs ,We are just not going to work for peanuts ,Just like a realtor won't sell or list houses for peanuts.
Trust the science 😂 just 1 big uniparty and they are laughing all the way to the banksters!
Too more unaffordable?!
Someone is super salty that Kamala lost 😂
I’m looking at this very pragmatic hopeful he was blowing smoke about the huge tariffs he spoke about.if you want me to be honest, Kamala’s plan was garbage for affordable housing. Calling for “3 million homes to be built”. Is just words, no real way to get those homes built. Giving money to first time homebuyers will just drive up costs. If she had won I’d be making a livestream how her plan would drive housing costs up.
@KristinaSmallhorn Is there another strategy that's better than tarrifs for bringing back the production of essential products and resources to the USA?
@@joeykoehn6038 IMO the strategy of cutting red tape during the development of land would be huge for the home building industry. I agree with deregulation on some aspects of the home building process most of that could be cut in half. Also tax incentives to home builders to build smaller more affordable homes would increase supply as most Americans entering into the housing market are having a hard time finding a smaller more affordable home.
@@KristinaSmallhornPrivate Equity firms need to be reigned in. They’ve been buying up all previously affordable houses, apartment buildings and land. They then skyrocketed home and rental prices for everyone. Many elderly in Retirement Trailer home communities can no longer afford outrageous land rents after private equity bought up the land that their homes sit upon as well.
@ you are correct. I have a bunch of videos about this. They have proposed bills sitting in the house for over a year that haven’t even been put on the docket to be voted on. It doesn’t help a politician who’s campaign is bought and paid for by private equity to vote against private equity companies (wall street investors)
@@KristinaSmallhorn👍💯💯💯😞
@@KristinaSmallhorn Well, hopefully Trump will not follow the path that the media wants us to believe he will, and instead he will de-N*z* himself, safely deregulate, lower overtime tax, and find another way than tariffs to bring back manufacturing. But if the corrupt government won't help him, then please allow tariffs at least. We need manufacturing more than we can't afford tariffs. Imo.
