Tell that to the state Regulators who are forbidding the development through zoning or environmental health Scapes of regulations
Lets demolish the existing ones
The system is working as intended, limit supply, inflate price for profit, lobby political poweres to get your way, enjoy profit. This is not new, a bland and simplistic explanation of a more nuanced systemic issue on my part but not new. We are here to serve the upper class, we are cattle give the illusion of choice and we have settled. Happy holidays, yall.
Let stop people from buying multiple and leasing them out at a higher margin for profit. Then there plenty and it’s affordable.
You’re homeless? Just buy a house 4head.
There’s an affordability shortage…..plenty of empty homes.
How about building AFFORDABLE housing? you know, for the millions of people who don’t make hundreds of thousands dollars
Every time I see new construction of small affordable homes, they get ripped apart as too basic and small. No one can be happy it seems
Just build them so expensive they’re not affordable it’ll work great
Part of the problem is at least when my wife and I were looking to build, no one was building houses under $500,000 and certainly not starter homes. They were building what was most profitable for them.
There is a shortage of affordable houses not owned and bought out by major corporations*. Headline is misleading. We have plenty of buildings and space. With malls going out, a neighboring city renovated a massive one into a homeless shelter. It’s been a great addition, especially with the cold winters we get.
Perhaps,
1. Build more.
2. Outlaw corporate ownership of single family homes.
3. Have a progressive real estate tax that discourages ownership of dozens of properties just to profit seek.
The answers are simple but old fucks won’t be on board and this newer wave of sexless, pedantic, obnoxious chuds will also pretend that they feel strongly about opposing it..
Black rock.
Op thinks it’s that easy, lol. What a moron.
Or we could have a nice war and get rid of the excess peasants
We should
We need legislation prohibiting conglomerates or corporations from buying any established residential property
It’s not about the number of houses. It’s about how affordable the existing ones are.
