    If it isn’t public housing, or at the very least rent controlled private developments, it’s just going to increase the number of unaffordable apartments on the market

    This is hopefully going to be great, preventing the NIMBY’s from stopping higher-density housing focused near public transit. I am in a Sacramento suburb and there’s huge empty lots right near the bus lines near the freeway; if those can become high-density housing for people that can have less reliance on cars, it’d be huge for this area. Even a small % nudge would be beneficial.

    I don’t understand the logic:

    IF residences exist ( according to concentration-of-wealth-archy ) solely to extort as much wealth from the population as possible, & that is maximized when a significant-fraction of the population is homeless,

    THEN … manufacturing more housing just means that the institutional residence-possessors have to possess more residences, in order to keep enough of the population homeless for maximal-exploitation & maximal-institutional-profit?


    Other people, of course, would crack down on psychopathic pseudopersons owning residences and reduce homelessness that way, but that’s as “unamerican” as Jesus getting violent on the temple moneychangers, isn’t it?


    He’s intentionally “not understanding” or someting?
