Proponents argue that it helps people afford their first home and promotes homeownership. Opponents argue that it distorts the housing market and could lead to higher prices.

Yes, and bar corporations and private equity from buying homes, which reduces the available stock and increases prices.

Subsidies should not be automatic. There should be a structure in place to qualify such as work history, citizenship status.

In todays economy, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. If we’re talking 10/20 years ago when home-ownership was viable, then no.
@9MLHY5W3wks3W
The government should incentivize rather than subsidize first-time home ownership.
@9NF4DKY5 days5D
I believe there needs to be more of a focus on making homes affordable to begin with so that the government doesn’t have to provide subsidies to more people who cannot afford it
@9ND374B6 days6D
Instead of a subsidy, reduce taxes and fees associated with the home purchase and give a big tax break on that year's federal income tax.
