Nah bro, we need to slash regulations and incentivize builders with tax writeoffs.

so they add 5 units of "affordable" housing to a project where they turn 100 units of housing into 15 luxury apartments. But only if they feel like building the affordable units. They could just pay a small fee instead. Also most of the luxury units will be uninhabited as they're merely investment purchases.






Public housing projects. Now!

I'm pretty sure the last solution involved guillotines.

Wait, you remember the New Deal worked right?

The New Deal was more about saving capitalism in the US, so, yeah, it technically worked but didn't really solve the problem.

Are you joking? Killing off every possible trace of the New Deal has been the holy grail of conservatives and the wealthy for the last 70 years.

Doesn't change the fact the New Deal was a hail-Mary attempt to save capitalism because, at the time, most Americans were wondering if capitalism maybe wasn't such a hot idea.

And the New Deal pretty much has been destroyed which is why so many Americans today are wondering if capitalism maybe isn't such a hot idea.

Not even Stalinist Russia was able to get rid of every trace of a market economy. There's no such thing as getting rid of Capitalism, only reducing its worst impulses with Socialism. Every functional economy is a mixed economy to one degree or another. The impulse to just Kill All The Bankers is very seldom successful, easily hijacked by fascists, and usually has a decades-long refractory period of anarchy, collateral mass murder and autocracy.

California, and every other major metro area in America, needs public housing on a large scale.

building more housing and bringing prices down is directly counter to the interests of the giant development firms. They have inventory and rentals that would lose value if housing prices decreased.

I love how SolRo doesn't disagree with anything this video shows but he still one stars it. You have to give it to him for not giving up his one star streak.

Maybe stop being a race-baiting price of shit? Or 5-starring your own rightwing propaganda-mill copypasta? You're posting this trash to get a reaction, why are you acting surprised?

Because we should all want to end homelessness. We should all be able to agree that homelessness in the US is unacceptable.

Much like Anti Semitism.

Reason TV is a American "Libertarian" channel. There is no free-market solution to homelessness and there never was, so quit concern trolling you little bootlicking dipshit.
