How about banning corporations from owning single family homes or thousands of condo units? I bet that would go a long way towards solving the housing crisis. I used to live in a 200 unit condo complex and the majority of units were owned by 3 people who used that majority to push through whatever they wanted on the condo board. An absolutely massive tax on housing you don’t actually live in would help make housing more accessible. Housing shouldn’t be an investment. Nationalize it.
I went for “a hearse made out of coffins”
There’s a locally run thrift store in my small town that I donate everything to. I get shirts and pants for a couple bucks and rarely pay more than 50 cents for a book.
