I think the concept that becoming a homeowner to establish wealth in the US is very counterproductive, it has led to a generation of people who seem to only care about their home value, which has led to NIMBY dominated politics and massive housing shortages in high demand areas. I think renting is a very suitable alternative to owning a home. And I think the subsidy ends up just being a transfer to people who are not really struggling financially in the first place.

I would imagine that if you support this, it would be because you are aware that the government has been messing with the prices and keeping them artificially high, so a "subsidy" is actually just making a dent in what market forces would ordinarily demand. If they break your legs, they owe you a crutch, at the very least.
However, I think the better option is to stop breaking legs. Propping up subsidies simply institutionalized a part of an industry that needs to be completely overhauled.

This would lead to the same conditions that caused the "Housing Bubble" to burst during the Great Recession.
