Decades of regulations preventing necessary housing from being built (single family zoning, environmental regs weaponized by NIMBYs) have made housing insanely expensive. Housing shouldn’t be treated as an investment. It’s a necessity to live. Sorry if building more housing may hurt a homeowner’s net worth, but ensuring housing is affordable is more important.

Also privatizing transportation costs via car dependency, making us slaves to the auto industry is insanely burdensome to the working class. Return to tradition - design cities so that people can travel using their legs instead of giant wheelchairs.
