Both-siderism is just fascist propaganda for surrender.

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.
Wow an article that supports my point and not yours.

They didn't brute force build more, they took the control of it away from the real estate companies. And that is what worked.

You literally fucking can because its housing, people need it.

"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.

I'm convinced y'all are bots

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

Ahhhhh I get it that's why rent has gone down.

Wait.

So instead of managing a market for a fundamental necessity with simple regulations used the world over, we should just brute force building houses in the hopes that they will have so many to sell to us they will have to start offering reasonable rates instead of price gouging.

No one is arguing small supply isn't easier to control.

The point is that when we make new developments and hand it all directly to real estate companies, they don't even have to compete in the market to control it. They are dealt all the cards.

Stunning argument, really almost as solid of evidence as the mindboggling profits that real estate companies have raked in for decades by controlling the market and price gouging.

Hell I think your meme is more convincing than the hundreds of billions of dollars of receipts supporting my point.

Didn't say developers. I said real estate companies.

The people who jack the price up far beyond what it costs to build (what developers do) because housing is a necessity and people will pay it.
November 26, 2025 at 8:24 PM
You're responding to a post in which I explicitly say that's good but we need to stop private real estate companies from holding first ownership and jacking prices up.

If we don't do that we are just throwing more money at them, it's just more unaffordable housing.

Since my initial explanation on how absurdly priced apartments drive costs UP, seemed to be insufficient.

If that were the case we wouldn't have

*gestures vaguely towards 40 years of housing market pricing trends*

It's a necessity. Businesses buy it up and jack up the price. Always weird to see people come out of the woodwork to deny the most well known, easiest, sure thing investment of the century

How a functioning housing market works.

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.

And it's the opposite, when they make a new one that costs $2500 it makes $1800 seem cheaper and more palatable.

I mean if we are making more housing just for Berkshire hathaway and Co to own the unit when it's built and jack the pricing up to extortionate levels, we aren't really making affordable housing.

That's what new apartment development is too. $2500-3k a month isn't helpful to anyone but the landlord
