The problem with housing isn’t lack of ability to build — it’s (local, not Federal) regulations preventing construction of certain types of properties in certain areas. i.e. 1-bedroom apartment towers in SF, beachfront MaMansions.
As far as Trump getting anything done re: infrastructure, his batting average isn’t exactly stellar so far. And again, the problem isn’t ability, it’s regulation. This time by unions that deal with state departments of transportation. Local, not Federal.
