“America’s morbidly rich billionaires are at it again, this time screwing the average family’s ability to have decent, affordable housing in their never-ending quest for more, more, more. Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, and Denmark have had enough and done something about it: We should, too. There are a few things that are essential to ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ that should never be purely left to the marketplace; these are the most important sectors where government intervention, regulation, and even subsidy are not just appropriate but essential. Housing is at the top of that list. A few days ago I noted how, since the Reagan Revolution, the cost of housing has exploded in America, relative to working class income.” (10/26/24)
