It might sound like some intentional conspiracy but it's mostly just a natural consequence of the stalemate. As long as new home development is crippled by zoning, NIMBYism, and the endless related issues it's only natural for those who care to become cynical and team up with those who don't to find ways to feed the never-ending demand for performative action (backed by millions of dollars) with a supply of expensive temporary solutions.

i urge you to talk to ppl who have run low income housing. from the people i know who done it they quit bc it cost more to maintain it with all the damage and crime then a modest blue collar unit. "building more housing" dont fix nothing if the ppl who live there treat it like shit attract crime and don't reliably pay.

  Why do you avoid proper capitalization and spelling out words in full? Have you intentionally modified your auto-correct so that it does not do this?

What you just described sounds like an intentional conspiracy: > team up […] to find ways to feed the never-ending demand for performative action (backed by [billions] of dollars) with a supply of expensive temporary solutions [that enrich themselves] If you’re spending most of the money on politicians, their friends, and bourgeois — for the purpose of virtue signaling rather than fixing the problem — you’re a second problem. Government looting the public.

  Yep, those would be the people who don't care, who get teamed up with people who do, which I mentioned. Still not a conspiracy.
