JOHN DEATON FOR SENATE INC.
Work hard. Save money. Live in a cardboard box. Sounds ridiculous. But with the median home in Massachusetts costing more than $650,000, what's the alternative? We've gone way beyond making coffee at home and skipping nights out. No amount of cutting back is going to make up a six-figure down payment. How is the next generation supposed to start a family, start a business, and buy a home? We're pricing an entire generation out of the American Dream. That's why I support a simple solution: build more homes. My plan is 5 million homes in 5 years to increase supply, lower costs, and give hardworking families a real path to homeownership again.

| Tactic | The surrealist cardboard-box-as-housing metaphor viscerally literalizes the absurdity of the housing crisis, transforming an abstract economic statistic into a humiliating visual reality that drives empathy and urgency for Deaton's 5-million-homes policy solution. |
