What would helping the poor without helping investors at all look like to you?

  Loosening up zoning laws to allow for much greater supply of housing. Blue states don't do this because it would be bad for the investor class who's owns real estate.

    In states where there are looser zoning laws and more housing is built, who invests in and profits more from the new construction, the investor class or the poor?

      Who un-benefits more from there not being enough housing? The rich or the homeless?

      In such scenarios, there are no excess returns from home construction. Homebuyers benefit from abundant supply.

    Some blue states have done this, including California, Oregon, Connecticut, and Maine. I expect more will follow.
