French here ( also parent of 3). France has strong fiscal incentive for families ( esp. for 3+ kids ), but that won't solve the housing issue : more money will just increase prices... Prices are high mostly because of the low supply.

The French benefit is very good but I’m talking about a radically, massive benefit. For example in a family of 5 where they have $120k income, they would get like an $80k deduction leaving them with $40k of adjusted income. Taxes on that would be very small (a few thousand very likely, $5k-$10k) leaving them with the lions share to properly raise their kids.

This is directed at middle and upper middle class people that are the ones we want having kids in the first place. Let’s pay them to spread their genes.
