 @woozle Honestly there are a TON of really great ideas for fixing housing and making it affordable, & lots of proof that many will work from other countries. BUT they require a complete overhaul of housing regulations (incredibly hard) AND legislators who actually care about making life better for people instead of lining their pockets and gaining power (incredibly rare). :( It's a 💩 situation. 2 comments
@woozle Hard Agree. I'm not actually against there being _A_ market for housing, but i think it should be _A_ market for folks that can, and want to spend more, AFTER we've made sure everyone has a safe roof over their heads that won't be taken away because they dare to be "too poor" or get injured or sick or whatever. I think the US is rapidly going to swap to full on fascism, but after that we can hopefully overthrow that + the BS we're currently simmering in. If we survive. ;) |

@masukomi It's true, this would be a bandaid solution, and the rentiers are overequipped with bandaid-removal tools.
It's going to take a revolution in government, ultimately. Housing shouldn't even be a market. Basic needs of any kind shouldn't be a market.
