New bill would pay farmers to put rentals on their land

The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Angus King, would give certain rural property owners two grants of up to $100,000 each to build rental housing.

The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Angus King, would give certain rural property owners two grants of up to $100,000 each to build rental housing.

A new bi-partisan bill introduced in late September by U.S. Sens. Angus King, I-Maine, and Jerry Moran, R-Kansas, would pour an additional $200 million into an existing federal program to incentivize rural property owners to build rental housing on their land, such as an attached apartment unit or a small home.

The Farmhouse-to-Workforce Housing Act is just one piece of a patchwork effort to create more housing around the country after decades of lagging construction, aging stock, zoning restrictions and local resistance to building collided with a dramatic change in migration patterns post-pandemic, leaving rural communities in particular struggling to deal with a lack of places for people to live.

This looks to me to be more of an end around local zoning regulations than anything else.

In my AO "farmers" are always looking to convert former tenet homes to short term rentals for NOtVA city people to schlep into for a weekend.

Farmers could always build tenet homes for their workers but I see something else going on here.

I don't think the tax payer should be on the hook for Farmer Johns's short term rental.

What can be built these days for $100,000 ?

I guess maybe a small trailer park

But I would not want a bunch of welfare bums from Haiti living on my land

A tiny home or two.

 

[SeaMajor7]

Putting the taxpayers money up to house the Fed's pet illegal aliens.
What a CROCK!!!!!!

 

[Mac-7]

A tiny home or two.

A mobil home or two

But just installing utilities could easily exceed $100,000

Even a decent prefab trailer home retails around here for about 150.
That ridiculous level of unaffordability will continue until the dollar is non-existent. I don't know what will replace it but right now it's close to being worthless.

See post #5

A trailer without utilities that may cost more than the trailer is pretty useless

My rural property has an agricultural zoning, so that makes me a farmer. That $100,000 would come in handy for sprucing up my mule shed. I could probably fit at least 20 illegals in there, if I stacked them up right.

I suspect existing utilities would be used. That and Farmer John would likely install his own septic system.

 

[the watcher]

Big mistake, to try to integrate the food supply with the failure to control our borders. More dilution of capitalism ( supply and demand) with a big dose of state control. If you are ok with eliminating market value, eliminate land and housing speculation and the roles of the fed and fanny may. Let the real pressure build to generate some real conversation on what the problem is. The issue of utilities and infrastructure must be addressed.

Its farm land

There usually are not existing utilities

And running them the home can cost a fortune

 

[wamose]

What good is subsidizing people who probably have no clue about property taxes, insurance, utility costs, mortgage payments and maintenance costs. They'll all end up having to be bailed out because they're unable to afford their gift house. Another fucked up Democrat idea. MAGA

If so then good, Farmer John does not need another subsidy to fleece the taxpayer with.

Hell in the next county over they tool around in their subsidized new or newish F250s (or bigger) with Farm Use tags on them.

Yup

Print and steal some more money for yet another government program. Wanna convert some land for housing? There is lots of available abandoned land in Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans, NYC, and many other urban centers just waiting for redevelopment. Now get some of your lefty billionaires to invest their money and stop picking my pocket. Nothing is gained by reducing the amount of available airable land.

I guess they figure Farmer John will just put wind or solar on the land if they can wrangle the permits.

Such a retarded use of good land.
