休斯敦住房造價在上升中

由於川普總統對世界各國加徵關稅之大行動，帶動了物價上揚，根據休斯敦營造業公會之最新估計,未來房屋之造價每間增加一萬二千元，這將是對未來房價造成更多之負擔。

專家們估計建造二千英呎之住宅將會增加八千三百到一萬二千五百元之材料費用，這些包括木材鋼筋家電等都在上漲中，事實上由於川普更嚴厲之移民政策已經造成建築工人之短缺。

我們實在無法瞭解政府目前之關稅大刀到底是讓普通老百姓真的受益嗎？也會讓美國要度強大嗎？

Housing Costs In Houston Are On The Rise

Housing construction costs in Houston are continuing to climb. Due to President Trump’s aggressive move to impose tariffs on countries around the world, prices have been rising across the board. According to the latest estimates from the Houston Construction Industry Association, the cost of building a new home is expected to increase by about $12,000, putting an even greater burden on future housing prices.

Experts estimate that the cost of materials alone for building a 2,000-square-foot house will rise by $8,300 to $12,500. This includes increases in lumber, steel, appliances and more. In fact, stricter immigration policies under Trump have already led to a shortage of construction workers.

We truly struggle to understand whether these sweeping tariff policies are really benefiting ordinary Americans. Do they actually make America stronger as the government claims?
