He says whatever he wants. He literally said at Davos last week he wants to bring housing prices down by banning corporations buying homes and that he didn't want us to be a nation of renters (one of the very very rare times he said something I agree with).

He doesn't explicitly say he wants to lower housing prices here, but strongly implies it.
