Mr. Darnell expresses concern about the lack of housing for returning veterans and the current demand for housing. He suggests that the government should provide housing for veterans or make it easier for private builders to construct homes. Mr. Schwabe agrees that the housing situation is a problem and criticizes the government for sending prefabricated houses overseas instead of addressing the housing shortage domestically. Both men agree that the housing situation is a significant issue that needs to be addressed.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
