President Trump said Wednesday that would unfurl a plan to make housing more affordable during a speech in two weeks in Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum will be held starting Jan. 19. In a post on social media, the president also announced that he would be “immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more single-family homes,” and that he would ask Congress to codify it in law, though he did not release full details of his directive.

“People live in homes, not corporations,” he wrote. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Even just giving it lip service?

Not really. The dems love to entirely avoid any concrete expressions. They love rhetoric plus generalities like "a strong middle class" and "high-paying jobs". For example - I wonder how often Obama used words like "rent". Once in every 50,000 words? And now "affordability" is such a perfect dem word. They'll use it like squawking parrots with zero details. It's going to be a thought terminating cliché this year.
