Stopped reading there. Having personal space and a place to live is a human right, must be provided from birth. I wonder how many more articles like that The Atlantic will need to publish in order to please their ESG gods.

If housing is an investment it is necessarily unaffordable for newcomers. If we want everyone to be able to afford housing its value can't increase faster than inflation.
- snshn 4y agoSorry, can't agree. To me it looks like all these talks about improvement come from the standpoint of more control and dependance on the govt. I lean more towards libertarian values where if you're a citizen of the country you have to be granted a chunk of territory, not rented, granted, for life.
