Immigrants in CA could get 20% discount on buying home

The California Dream for All Shared Appreciation Loans program that launched last March by the California Housing Finance Agency offered qualified first-time home buyers with a loan worth up to 20% of the purchase price of a house or condominium. The loans don't accrue interest or require monthly payments. Instead, when the mortgage is refinanced or the house is sold again, the borrower pays back the original amount of the loan plus 20% of the increase in the home's value.

You're a Ruskie-bot, why are you concerned about California?

He's talking about California because the word California causes a dopamine response in Deplorables.

It's the same reason Republicans in Congress voted to repeal Obamacare sixty-four times.

It's a shame Progressives put immigrants over U.S. Citizens having a hard time buying a house.

Does this only apply to immigrants, or any first-time home buyers?

Hey stupid, it has zero impact on anyone else, it, OPENS the program to more people.

What are Republicans doing about housing prices? Let me guess, passing anti-trans, anti-choice, and book banning legislation.

It's a matter of supply and demand.

Any time one increases the number of prospective buyers for a limited resources (i.e., in this case, homes) the prices go up. So encouraging illegal immigrants to buy up our homes, by effectively decreasing their purchase price, increases home prices for our own home buyers.

My opinion is that the first obligation of our government is to protect our own citizens; helping them buy homes being one example. It is for similar reasons that Canada has banned foreign ownership of Canadian housing.

Republicans, despite their many flaws, are generally pro-building/anti-regulation. The more houses that are built, the lower prices drop.

While regulation has its place, excessive regulation stifles home building, thereby spiking home prices.

If anyone is genuinely curious about the impact of excessive regulation on home prices and not just trying to score partisan points, read up on How Californians Are Weaponizing Environmental Law which describes how environmental laws are abused to stop the building of low income housing.

In California? What do you want them to do there?

#5 yes, in a zero sum game the government basically giving money to non citizens could never negatively impact citizens who need help, or take away from aid they could have gotten. And to top it off some other mental midget newsworthy's it... This site is a f'n joke more and more everyday.

Then what are Republicans doing about it elsewhere, or at the national level?

So then corporations buying homes has "zero impact" on anyone else?

Why not make this available for EVERYONE, wouldn't that be the MOST people affected?

Why are citizens treated like the second class?

Nothing. I wouldn't know what to tell them to do.

You'd first have to decide what you want.

Has anyone who posted here actually looked into this and found that it does what the masochists who live to be lied to so they can be mad say it does?

A month ago the daily 2 minutes hate was a tall tale about free rent for migrants in Maine.

Except it wasn't free.

Weird, right?

Ah.

So this is a program for first time home buyers?

Uh......

Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula (D-Fresno) introduced Assembly Bill 1840 last month to expand the eligibility requirement for a state loan program to clarify that loans for first-time buyers are available to undocumented immigrants.

Right, #16.

So this isn't a "law that was passed to give illegal aliens all kinds of free ---- that we can't have and ARRRRRGGGHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA!"

In fact it's not even a law yet.

Your retarded ass would call it socialism if it didn't allow you the opportunity to kick down at immigrants.
