Bernie Sanders …… The Village Idiot!
He’s a commie, he wants to the government to run and own everything.
A solution in search of a problem to create.
Sanders is old enough to remember the projects in the large cities and what happened to them. He clearly either didn’t care or is not interested in the past facts and impacts of what that sort of thinking did. Marxist PoS.
What the United States needs more than anything is national communist control.
Does this commie nitwit want the government to own his several houses? What an absolute idiot. On the plus side, he already had a heart attack and is somewhat frail and very elderly. He’s likely soon to go. So sad.
Housing is fairly cheap to build.
Plywood, wallboard, rotating knife lot clearing, Bobcats, nail guns, PVC pipe and other innovations and illegal immigration make construction costs very low.
What some countries such as Spain do is to require roads and I believe sewers be put in once land near any city reaches a certain value.
There is no price control with the system, but lots of buildable lots become available once land prices rise.
The purpose was to prevent sprawl, but the housing supply keeps pace with housing demand.
You know, it’s hard ENOUGH to get homes built in Good Times with cash flowing and the general Governmental Bureaucracy impeding progress!
Let’s double down on that, shall we?
Yeesh!
The way for more individuals to have more pie, is to grow the pie, not divide it into smaller and smaller pieces. Eventually the pieces are so small, as not to be able to sustain those still around, and anarchy ensues, the pie utterly destroyed.
But of course, this analogy escapes some people altogether.
The rental market will then sort itself out.
“destroy a city”
It is not uncommon in Florida to demolish a house to build a more upscale house.
In England, neighborhoods of beautiful 1920’s mansions have seen many mansions demolished to build low-maintenance monstrosities.
Please, Sir? May We Have Some More? *SPIT*

RE: general Governmental Bureaucracy impeding progress!
How does a landlord keep rent down while property taxes keep going up?
Small landlords (<four units) need to be able to get much larger deposits, say up to ten times the monthly rent.
Many houses sit empty that would be rented if proper security was provided.
RE: THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH
When he ran for governor in NY, I only heard him whine about the problem. I never heard him propose ANY solutions at all !!
Anything about property taxes that keep going up? Home insurance? Energy prices to heat or cool the property even as they want to shut down a nuclear plant that provides 25% of the electricity of NYC? regulations? rent control? Nothing.
I meant just getting housing BUILT in the first place. Who is going to WANT to with Bernie dictating what rent you can charge for your building? I worked for a construction firm for a number of years. One of my jobs was applying for, getting, and keeping track of permits for various projects.
It’s INSANITY!
I do not begrudge a Landlord a thing. I have owned rental property in the past. Never again. :)
RE: Housing is fairly cheap to build.
It’s not the house per se ... it’s the LOCATION.
Why are people paying close to a million bucks for a 700 square foot apartment in NYC when they could buy 4 houses 3 times the size of the apartment in Pennsylvania?
Answer: LOCATION
