Editorial: The New York Times

• This is not a policy election. There's no defining issue like tax cuts in 2000 or health care in 2008 or trade in 2016.
• Kamala Harris has a plan to address the nation's housing crisis. Donald Trump (kind of) has one, too.
• The cause of the crisis is a shortage of housing. The solution is to build a lot more housing.
• Harris has proposed a target of three million new homes and outlined a number of policies to move toward that goal.
• Trump has not called for more construction. Instead, he sees the housing crisis as just another problem caused by illegal immigration.
• Harris proposes to address the housing crisis by spending money. She's offered two big ideas for increasing construction.

Conclusion: Harris has a plan and Trump does not. If Harris is elected, there's a chance we may make progress on the housing crisis. If Trump is elected, we won't.
