Rent is borderline crippling. It's genuinely a little depressing, and certainly distressing
A 39% increase in the last five years. Insane
Meanwhile, non NIMBY places building new supply like Austin have seen rents *decline* 20% in the last three years

ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
