Hell yea we're coming for the AR-15s: https://apnews.com/fbdf5e5f6d654332bbedfaffe3663154
I'm very interested in the idea of expanding public housing
Vienna is held up as a model, with 62% of residents living in state-owned housing
would be curious to get Vad's take on the program
I don't know anything about it.
I like expanding public housing but I’m wary of the environmental impact of more and more building projects.
doesn't have to be new construction to becoming public housing
You should check it out. LA, Santa Monica, and maybe SF have all passed airbnb and other short-term rental-related ordinances in their respective city councils recently. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.
RJ bitching about AirBnB is so on-brand Boomer it's pathetic.
big picture, yeah
but another tool is to shift existing adequate housing stock into public land trusts to keep it affordable, especially in areas at risk of gentrification where the buildings are in good shape
It's impossible to deny the supply crisis, though, in a lot of the country and the affordability crisis that comes along with it. In a sense, we have to "build our way out of it" while also codifying protections for homeowners and tenants to protect them while housing markets stabilize long term.
I like how RJ somehow thinks people are forced into Air BnBs.
