Yet the last Democratic presidential administration tried to prevent real estate agents from answering those kinds of questions because it prioritized “diversity” over safety and education. The Trump administration revoked the de facto gag rule this year, but the damage the Biden administration inflicted is still being felt. What’s worse, state regulations in New York and elsewhere still prevent real estate agents from speaking freely to homebuyers about crime and schools. The point of withholding information about crime and schools is to get more people to buy homes where they otherwise wouldn’t want to live. If Americans don’t want their real estate providers gagged, they have to speak up themselves at the ballot box.
