Keeping rates artificially low/stable is a subsidy, to keep asset prices growing at a rate that matches people’s expectations so there is not any political unrest when people’s 401k and pension and house price does not end up where they think it should.

My model is about helping people acquire a home they can live in. Which means having a home available for them to live in, and giving them cash to obtain it.

Using taxpayer funded loans is wholly unnecessary to accomplish that, and is a wealth transfer from non land owners to land owners in the long run.
