I finally saw an ad from PP and the cons yesterday outlining some concrete measures to help with home affordability.

Sell Federal land to build on
Eliminate tax on building materials
Eliminate permit costs

But..... I'm completely ignorant, does the fed actually own any land that's valuable for residential? The feeling I get is they are either usually parkland or boonies, and not actually in cities.

Eliminate tax on building materials I can see happening, and if the tariffs actually happen, I can see being useful for domestic businesses. A good solution that can potentially help with two problems at a very high level.

Eliminate permit costs.... That's a municipal thing though? They would to skip two levels of gov't?
