I have the impression that the origins of the housing crisies across the west are not being discussed. The opening up of housing markets to American capital has been a disaster. Nobody discusses it.
I agree and would follow it out to the * crises. Guard your education, healthcare, environment and civil rights; and in my view, human rights = civil rights = women's, children's, lgbtqia, skin tones, etcetera.
i'm so tired of this bullshit. all because of greed. the only real solution to all of this (without completely bricking the economy) would be "one family one home policy" (married/legal) made into law. no more landlords, no more nonsense. got 3 homes? too bad, time to sell. market oversaturated? well go the fuck down in price to the damn value you bought your houses for 20 years ago. own an apartment complex? too bad, it's now owned by the habitants council (those who actually live in it, like it actually works in many places). and make hotels the sole exception to the rule.
no more homelessness.
no more shelters.
no more trailer parks.
no more need for social housing.
no more assholes buying up property abroad and fucking the locals.
everyone's happy except the 0.001% landlords and market gamblers. who now have to get actual jobs. or have well paid jobs already and didn't need to sit on 4 houses because they got in early.
