There isn't about Conservative or Liberal, Democrat of Republican this is just economics and capitalism at work. As of now there is an oversupply of housing and an undersupply of buyers. It's going to take quite some time for this problem to correct itself.

around here most houses built in the last 20 years are to big and nobody wants them.so they can't sell em at any price anymore. the smaller homes lacking granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances and fake hollow sounding temporary floors are holding their own. and you can actually afford them even though the flippers came through and drove up prices. many went bankrupt at the end and I cheered
