The good news is we have plenty of resources to solve the problem. In other countries, there is no money that can be poured into the govt, or legislation created, to solve their systemic issues. There's no way Greece could have fixed its economy. But with the US, it's literally just a matter of deciding to re-balance the budget or pass new laws, and the problems go away.
Start with some national protests/riots around wages, housing, etc. Then politicians will magically pass laws to require 50% of new development to be for public housing, for rents not to rise above 2x the median income, and for the cost of public housing not to exceed 2x the comparable cost of private development. Add in closing tax loopholes / taxing the rich more if needed. Corporations and the rich will bitch and moan, but it won't mean jack shit against passed legislation.
It has to happen everywhere at once, or the rich will just move development somewhere else. But they (should) also know the same shit will happen elsewhere.
