There is no American ā€œhousing crisisā€ā€” thereā€™s a supply-hoarding crisis to rig local market prices above the liquidity of local buyer capital. The policy solution is simple: poison-pill tax all non-occupant-owned housing to force immediate sale to local buyers at actual market rates. Allowing unlimited non-local capital to supply-hoard vacant housing is simply anti-resident eugenics. Current residents are too poor, so replace them with richer onesā€” even if it causes widespread homelessness, forced migration and absurd energy costs for the displaced to commute. Itā€™s as discriminatory as Federal Housing Administration redlining of black neighborhoods in the 1940s.

tay does a nice job of shutting you down hard, politely, i respect that. i love his use of "great question" where it obviously wasn't. tay is much kinder and smarter than me. however lets not pretend that "wow planned economy" was a constructive or intellectually stimulating reply; in fact, as highlighted by my extremely scholarly and philosophical meme, calling everything communism without deeper analysis is a tired fucking rightwing excuse for a "conversation". real tucker carlson-grade pandering honestly. im personally quite put off that you would pretend this comment was in any way serious or legitimate. try harder. as tay said, no, no this isn't communism, this is a tax, all states use taxation, period. next time you have a question, if you're seeking quality conversation or debate, you can pitch more than a single short reductivism to convey your inquiry. but ya didn't. i don't need pointers on how to interact with bad faith takes like yours, they are a dime a dozen, im rightfully tired of it, thanks.

šŸ«” cheers, glad to interact again sometime in hopefully a more productive manner* (* tho if im being honest, i think this chance to discuss why redscare refutations appear wholly insincere and bad faith has been both productive and needed; i hope you learned why many leftists would react poorly to this)
