Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has launched a comprehensive housing initiative to address the country’s housing deficit by building a million homes and offering zero-interest mortgages.

The program, aimed at supporting vulnerable groups, focuses on female-led households, young people, Indigenous communities and senior citizens. The announcement is a fulfillment of Sheinbaum’s campaign promise to create affordable housing and promote equitable urban development.

          His crime occurred before his presidency. Regardless more than 50% voted for him for the 2nd term… Also he literally sold pardons lmfao

            I’m not a fucking idiot, I know that. Calling someone a “felon” implies a conviction.

    Even Mexico cares more about their citizens than the USA. We send them back and they get social assistance.

      The US is at the bottom of the list for caring about citizens in any metric. No paid maternity or paternity leave, most expensive healthcare in the world, no guaranteed vacation, sick, or Holiday pay.

        Yep, neo-liberalism, the bankers society.

        Remember that when you need to focus your anger somewhere, or if you’re terminal and want to take some of the trash out with you. It’s their fault; evidences by which professions are rewarded - almost none of which are necessary for society, or people in general, to thrive.

      Maybe. A million houses only puts a small dent in things. Who is making these million houses?

      Also, will there be something in place to prevent everyone from just charging a lot more for houses? At 5%apr you may only be able to afford a 150,000 home, but at 0% they can charge you 400,000 for it.

        According to the article the government is building them, selling them, and providing subsidized loans for them.

          That doesn’t answer the question I had. Whenever prices of expensive things get subsidized, it makes the prices go up. Prices are based on how much a company thinks it can get for something from the people buying. If a car is selling for $40k and then it gets subsidized to give a buyer $20k off, that car quickly turns into a $55k car and the company just profits more.

    We’ve been here before. I’ve seen the housing they come up with. It’s basically a bunch of tiny ass houses all in the same block next to each other in the middle of nowhere.
