And it’s not a bad take at all! Some even join the #trainGang in the comments. Anyone up for some radicalization (and knows how to blend in with Canadians)?
Also, I wasn’t sure if this belonged in the dunk tank, since its not that bad of a take.
It’s a pretty solid take. In many places there has been so much overinvestmenf in real estate that bringing down prices would crash the economy.
Its only a matter of time before the neolibs stop pretending they’re trying to make housing affordable and start talking about prices like the stock market: number go up = good.
In Australia, as I’m sure in many other places, the only solutions governments have thought up is “more new houses for first home buyers” aka fucking terrible urban sprawl:
It is not enough for the antipodean Anglo to demand a yard for himself, but others must be forced to have yards by his NIMBY planning laws.
In many places in NZ and Aus its literally illegal to build efficient modern housing.
