Republicans are going to make houses cheaper to own by decreasing the purchase price by shortening by 50% the time the owner has to sue over construction defects. I think that will increase the costs of home ownership, due to shitty craftsmanship becoming evident after 10 years.

Will there actually be a price reduction for something the untrained eye can't see? Not likely.

More trickery in Texas.
