"But we also think that the responsibility for the safety of [low-income people] — and let's face it, it's low-income people who have this problem — that's a responsibility for society at large, for everyone, not just for the people who happen to own the buildings where these people make their homes."

That we don't in fact have to deal with the parasites to have housing avaliable for working people

So do we just... fuck over all the renters living in landlord-owned units for the next 5-20 years while this cool new mass public housing is being built by all those extra construction workers we definitely don't have a shortage of?

We should let the housing market crash out, then nationalize it ;)

Similar to what was done after 2008 except federal government doesn't give money parasites and just does it by itself

Do you realize how many suicides and assorted anguish such a crash would cause?

I swear to gods, you people don't really know how to think things through.
