Looking at Republicans budget you’d think big economic problem is rich are too poor and poor are too rich. They want you to think 140 million are being lazy, not 400 greedy. When working full-time at minimum wage earns $250 week, problem is wages, not workers

How about working on lowering the cost of construction from the fees, permits, city, county, state reports, and mandates and regulations. If it costs $56k per unit before the first shovel is in the ground figure out a way to make it under $10k. Start there.
