"Supply-Side"

Lmao. Shit take instantly disregarded. Try again when you Google the number of empty houses vs the number of unhoused people.

Treat a necessity as a commodity, then as an investment. This is the outcome. (Potable water is next, couple more decades) The entire system of housing is corrupted by greed and sunk cost. Maintained by an avaricious banking industry and defended by pseudohumans widely known as Nimbys.
