Fight for every inch. Primaries, locals and general. Quitting is why the US slides right and HOLY SHIT y'all are determined to quit before the fight even begins.

"Location location location" is all about how you can jack the price of housing to the god damn moon if it's anywhere that people want to live. And unless we attack that directly, real estate parasites will continue to grow fat.

The invariability with which "leftist" accounts come out of the woodwork to randomly (and incorrectly) claim that market forces work perfectly for necessities THE MOMENT someone mentions affordable housing means not handing it over to BSH, can't be a coincidence

If it actually worked that way buffet wouldn't be worth $150 billion. Real estate wouldn't have been such an easy investment for decades.
