Not sure if this makes me happy or sad for my oldest nephew. He is in the USCG and is stationed in Cape Cod and is in the early stages of looking for a house to buy.

Using your tax dollars to drive up the price of shelter. Brilliant.

Dems ran on affordability last year to some level of success.

Affordability to a dem simply means providing more free stuff.

Free stuff is paid for by increased taxes.

Increased taxes causes many, especially the wealthy, to leave blue cities/states thus eroding the tax base to pay for the free stuff.

Dems are economically illiterate.

No. Governor Healey is forcing taxpayers to provide $25k in assistance to more first-time homebuyers.

Where do you think that money comes from? https://t.co/YKcOS9ARFw

One of the things I love about this is they act as if she is the one providing it when all she is doing is taking other people's money and giving it to someone else. Then you have the useful idiots who think this will benefit them but then realize they don't qualify or they just love to virtue signal. All while pretending that market forces don't exist.

They will get all of that subsidy back and more in the increased property taxes off of property evaluations. I guarantee that is what this is about, stealth tax increase.

Instead of a single amount that they'll never recoup - make it a percentage of the purchase price invested as equity. Recouped upon the sale of the house.

5% or 10%, whatever. When you sell the house, state gets their 10% back. Ten percent of the sale. House appreciates, it's a percentage of that current value. Same if it goes down.

Not perfect, but better than just pissing money away as this lady is.

Did anyone watch the video? The money comes from the Housing Authority and is interest free and must be paid back when the house is eventually sold. I'm certainly not a proponent but the initial statement is mis-leading.

I sold a house to a guy back when the federal government did this many years ago.

So he got the government to pay me the down payment and I financed it, Gov't also gave him a new air conditioner and insulated the house for energy efficiency. He paid a few years and then signed it back to me for the payoff because he lost his job. Sweet deal if you can get it. Stupid government.
