Ace of Baes posted:rent control + jacked up taxes on people who own more than 1 home, deflate the housing market and make owning multiple houses and non viable form of investment, basically deflating the housing market while providing subsidies/incentives for people who own 0 homes buying a home, seize large apartment complexes and transform them into public housing I like this idea a lot, thx  Grondoth posted:This is actually a huuuuge problem in NYC, 95% of the new stuff built is empty because it lets rich people park their money. Same for San Francisco, and it's even true enough for any urban area with a hosed housing market (ie most of them) that it's also true in Boston

Only a small percentage of apartments should be privately owned.NNick posted:A major succ of Oregon politics is housing politics. Portland has a massive homeless population despite tons of new housing being built. Most of it sits empty as it is considered an investment vehicle where offering market rates would lower it's long-term value. I can confirm this. You will be driving by apartments that have ads for vacancy for months, but prices are still steep. At least average rent is flat YoY, compared to Seattle where it's still skyrocketing.

Nationalize at least half of all apartments tommorow via eminent domain, and have the renters as a whole act as the landlords.

punk rebel ecks posted:gently caress this half assed pussy poo poo. That's a good start for urban areas but it leaves the conditions in place for the problems to recur. You also have a lot of places in the country where most of the rental housing stock are single family homes. A vacancy tax heavily discourages purchasing single family homes for investment purposes and also incentivizes banks to dump repo homes ASAP and gives a bit more leverage to homeowners struggling to meet their mortgage. It's probably easier to socialize finance than it is to socialize all residential property. Lots of people hate banks but love their homes.

a vacancy tax is the easiest thing to justify and has a decent chance of passing, assuming our government were run by even neoliberals instead of hellspawn

Concerned Citizen posted:texas just wasn't ready for an unemployed 20 something who lives with his parents Unironically this shouldn't count against him, given the fact that a significant portion of young adults have similar circumstances through no fault of their own (and their less privileged counterparts may live on their own out of necessity, but at the price of going into heavy debt or living paycheck to paycheck). At the very least I would much rather have someone like that than someone from a well-off "professional" background.

And mind you, that's the people who don't have homes. For those just barely keeping a roof over their head, they're usually living in substandard or dangerously unsafe conditions. Used to be a blog called "The Worst Room."  $750/mo, Vancouver B.C.  Brooklyn, $800/mo  Brooklyn, $950/mo  Basement in Brooklyn, $1350 And then you have poo poo like this, and it is loving rampant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGl-12AgIno I know of at least two buildings in Brooklyn in a residential area that was chopped up and turned into a straight up hotel you can only book on AirBNB. There's all sorts of poo poo like this running rampant.
