i’m literally advocating for higher housing creation. i specifically stated
governments all around the world have the liberty and possibility to build houses and rent them out to people at-cost. Like, your city can do that. Where do you live? Seattle? Have you considered looking into how many houses the city of seattle has built in the last 20 years? And how many of them it rents out to people for cheap?
Which is as direct a request of municipalities to build social housing as it can be. I don’t get how people interpret that as “corpo dick sucking”?!?
This is why BlackStone/BlackRock and places like it buy them.
There are enough empty homes now to end homelessness completely, but putting them into circulation would lower costs by reducing demand, so they make money by keeping them empty so the ones that are available will be valued much higher.
And thats fine, but no city is going to build new social housing; would be communism. The landlords would crucify anyone who tried. Maybe literally.
Gotta use that slick fatty landlord blood to lube up those locks, get people housed. Including corpo landlords. Their very existence implies political oressure.

that’s exactly what a monopoly does. one should look into how to apply anti-monopoly laws on the housing market more effectively.
Antitrust enforcement has been a joke in every sector as long as I’ve been alive, sadly.
