Speculators, zoning.
Do more high density row houses (pic related is Brooklyn and just add a floor or two on top of that design in the new developments ) and 5 story buildings and bike everywhere, utilities and services will get waaaay more affordable, maybe you will be less fat and depressed taking opiods which saves on the medical cost.
However you will need to put vibrant teens in jail and not let them burn fancy stores down. These cities will be easier to maintain too since higher density like in Stuttgart or Amsterdam is also easier to patrol, less infra to maintain. And obviously more people paying for it because the density is up.
Don't go skyscraper route because that kills the feeling of belonging and people hide in apartments like bugs. Add parks everywhere too and put stuff in parks so people use it and gather to do stuff together
Put homeless in recovery programs which will put them in the fields picking strawberries and oranges for 12 or 24 months till they get off the meth, this way you might lower demand for mexicans and other shit.
National ID system where you don't get to use any federal or state public service without it.
Legalize abortion and promote it to the colored folk, unemployment benefits last 6 months and after that find a job or it's fruit picking again or live off your savings.
No subsides for any type of loans, no property tax, federal transport money goes to fixing and building trains bridges ports river navigability
You only need Marines and Navy really, maybe bring number of bases down and use those carrier fleets for gunboat diplomacy
