"Kamala Promises to Build 3 Million Homes in 4 Years; Biden-Harris Built
Only 8 EV Stations in 2.5 Years"

<https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/08/16/kamala-promises-to-build-3-million-homes-in-4-years-biden-harris-built-only-8-ev-stations-in-2-5-years/>

'Vice President Kamala Harris promised Friday that she would build 3
million new homes in four years if she were elected, but she and
President Joe Biden barely managed to build eight EV charging stations
in two-and-a-half years.

Harris said at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina:

There’s a serious housing shortage in many places. It’s too difficult to
build and it’s driving prices up. As president, I will work in
partnership with industry to build the housing. We need both to rent and
to buy. We will take down barriers and cut red tape including at the
state and local levels. And by the end of my first term, we will end
America’s housing shortage by building 3 million new homes and rentals
that are affordable for the middle class.

Harris did not explain how those new homes were to be built in a
high-interest-rate environment. She also did not explain whether she
meant 3 million units in addition to those that would already have been
built, or three million units total. Nearly 1.5 million homes were built
in the U.S. in 2023, so 3 million over four years would actually mean
construction had slowed down by 50%. Presumably, she meant 3 million
additional homes — 750,000 extra per year.

That would match or exceed the pace of the peak housing boom of the
post-World War II period. But Harris has a track record against which to
measure her promise, and it is the failure of the Biden-Harris
administration to build the electric vehicle (EV) charging stations that
it promised to build under the infrastructure bill of 2021. at a cost of
$7.5 billion. The goal was 500,000; two-and-a-half years later, as of
May 2024, only eight EV stations had been built.

The situation is even worse when it comes to the Biden-Harris
administration’s promise to build new broadband Internet connections.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr told Breitbart News earlier this week that
despite $42.5 billion in the infrastructure bill for broadband, the
effort had yet to connect one American to the Internet — and Vice
President Harris was supposed to be in charge of the project. The
prospects of Harris’s housing boom look doubtful.'
