I can't understand how this diatribe is related to housing. The NY times article mentioned by GP shows clearly "liberal cities" don't give a shit about mandating housing anymore than "conservatives cities" do; it's a false choice, Americans as whole want to preserve housing as an investment asset class. Every decision flows downward from there, and any other division is simply a distraction from the actual issue.
- kelnos 5y agoAnd that's the problem. People's basic needs should not be an investment asset class.
- paisawalla 5y agoHousing may be a basic need, but ample housing with a convenient commute is not. Proponents of change need to do a better job of filtering out their obvious sympathies towards wealth redistribution, and stating the problem more acutely. I'm not here to give every dishwasher and barista a 10-minute walking commute and a living room with a view of the city center.
