Maga voted for cuts and gets cut.

"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."
Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.

Just about all houses in Europe are made of brick.
They're no more expensive than houses in the US.
Not saying which is better (frankly I don't know), just pointing out that it really isn't as straightforward as using brick rather than wood making US house prices go up - maybe in the past, but nowadays land prices, manpower costs and speculation are what drives the realestate prices.
(After all, brick is basically baked clay, so hardly expensive stuff)
Also as somebody else pointed out brick houses last significantly longer than wood houses.
I googled and it said most homes in Germany are timber framed. Almost all house in cities in the US are brick. Fires burn the stuff inside. The outer shell doesn't matter.
