Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has launched a comprehensive housing initiative to address the country's housing deficit by building a million homes and offering zero-interest mortgages.

The program, aimed at supporting vulnerable groups, focuses on female-led households, young people, Indigenous communities and senior citizens. The announcement is a fulfillment of Sheinbaum's campaign promise to create affordable housing and promote equitable urban development.

And we turned down two women in a row, the most recent one being practically no different from the guy who wasn't great but got 10 million more votes. Mexico is less sexist than the US it would seem

Maybe our two women candidates should have campaigned on affordable housing

Or build like 1 million houses for them.
