    Gee, it’s almost like corporatizing real estate rental property without proper oversight leads to robber barons trying to squeeze blood from a stone, inevitably resulting in a collapse of the entire system…

    roughly 653,000 people reported experiencing homelessness in January of 2023,

    typo or does it take a year to compile statistics like that?

      I mean, that’s a significant amount of data to compile from folks that probably won’t be filing right into your database for you. You have to get people walking around encampments with a clipboard in a whole lot of places.

    Stop institutional investors. Stop foreign investors. Stop anyone airbnbing a place they don’t live in. Then we’ll have housing.

    It’s okay.

    Biden is focused on the most important issues: running us further into debt to fund other countries’ wars and trying to form coherent sentences.

      trying to form coherent sentences.

      Repeatedly saying it doesn’t make it true. Look at any Trump transcript though… Now that’s embarrassing.

      America kinda did promise to back up Ukraine if it was invaded, for it’s nuclear disarmament. To back out of that is a dick move. Supporting Isreal with their genocide is more than a dick move, though.

        not kind of, we did. To the point that we should be fully in there stomping russias shit from that agreement Russia broke. We’re taking a measured approach trying to avoid nuclear disaster. Fuck Russia and fuck the new Republicans. The old republicans are rolling in their graves.

        It’s more of a dick move that we’re doing nothing about housing scarcity in our own country, but that’s to be expected when all we elect are wealthy investment speculators.
