hope this discussion doesn't turn into typical HN housing post
- prices dropping is a good thing
- nimby are the real evil
- we should promote the idea of housing as utility not a store of wealth
- but govt encourages housing as wealth via subsidies and tax breaks
- poc should be allowed to build inter-generational wealth via housing. This shouldn't be suddenly cancelled.
- we should be building more public housing like germany and france.
- some random side convo about gentrification
- another side convo about suburban housing = bad. we should all live in tightly packed cities with no cars.
Rinse and repeat.
- User23 4y agoOut of curiosity, are you objecting because you think these points are all obviously true and it's just not interesting conversation, or is it that you take issue with one or more of them?
- dominotw 4y agobecause its a stalemate between - people who have their fortunes tied to housing vs new entrants - boomers/silent gen vs millennials - white vs poc - working poor vs gentrifiers
- brailsafe 4y agoI suppose that's why it's worth beating the subjects to death
- brailsafe 4y agoWas thinking the same. All seem pretty reasonable to me
