Make U.S. Housing Great Again: 25-Year $urge (Part 2)

PART TWO

7. Tariffs Spark Manufacturing and Housing Hubs

U.S. tariffs on foreign goods are relocating manufacturing, creating housing demand. TSMC’s $100 billion investment in five Arizona chip plants by 2025 will add 25,000 jobs (X posts, March 2025), driving homebuilding in Buckeye and Maricopa. Similar U.S. booms are eyed in Ohio (Eli Lilly, $2 billion), Indiana (Clarios, $1.5 billion), and South Carolina (BMW expansion), where job growth fuels new boom towns.

8. Boom Towns Emerge Nationwide

U.S. manufacturing hubs will spawn housing growth in key states. Arizona’s Phoenix suburbs, Ohio’s Marysville, Indiana’s Kokomo, and South Carolina’s Greer are set to explode, per X analyst posts. Texas, with Samsung’s $17 billion Taylor plant (2024), could see secondary hubs like Georgetown thrive. These regions will lead a construction surge, boosting local economies.

9. Technology Supercharges Construction

U.S. construction will be an economic titan, with each home generating 3 jobs and $150,000 in activity (NAHB, 2024). U.S. tech like modular homes (20–50% faster, 10–20% cheaper, per McKinsey 2023) and 3D printing (ICON’s $200,000 Texas homes) will meet demand. A California 3D-printed neighborhood cut build times to 6 weeks from 6 months (Forbes, 2024), setting a national pace.

10. No Crash Risk: A Stable Foundation

A U.S. crash is nearly impossible. About 40% of U.S. homes (56 million of 140 million, per Census 2024) are mortgage-free, immune to foreclosure. Of the 84 million with mortgages, 80% have rates below 5% (Freddie Mac, March 2025), locking owners in—$1,347 monthly at 3.5% vs. $1,896 at 6.5% for $300,000. U.S. equity hit $32 trillion in 2024 (Federal Reserve), far above 2008’s $16 trillion, cushioning any dips.

11. Wealth-Building for Generations

This boom builds wealth for U.S. Millennials and Gen Z. A $300,000 home bought in 2026 with 5% down could hit $500,000 by 2040 (3% annual appreciation, Case-Shiller), yielding $215,000 in equity. Monthly payments ($1,500 at 4.5%) beat rent rising from $1,500 to $2,500 over 14 years (3% annual increase, BLS), turning ownership into a $200,000+ asset.

12. A Reimagined American Dream

U.S. demographics, a 4–5 million home gap, and Trump’s policies—land development, tariffs, GSE privatization—ensure a crash-proof, 25-year boom. Mortgage rates may dip to 4.5% (JPMorgan, 2025), PMI fades, and tech-built homes rise. It’s in no one’s best interest to not be a U.S. homeownership society: homeowners’ median net worth is $400,000, 38 times renters’ $10,400 (Survey of Consumer Finances, 2022, adjusted to 2025 dollars, Urban Institute). This gap—up 70% since 1989—drives economic vitality, with each home sale adding $150,000 in activity (NAHB, 2024), potentially trillions to GDP over 25 years. Homeownership boosts U.S. societal stability—owners are 1.3 times more likely to join civic groups (Habitat for Humanity, 2023)—fostering safer, engaged communities. As FHFA Director Bill Pulte tweeted March 13, 2025, “Make Housing Great Again”—this is a wealth-lifting, durable reimagining of the American Dream.
