At last, someone from the world of politics is being honest about a pervasive and harmful trade-off. When home prices rise faster than earnings, owners like me gain wealth, while non-owners lose because their incomes fall further behind housing costs.

Honesty is saying that home prices have to fall. But this is progress.

The Generation Squeeze folks have recommendations.

Can't wait for whatever policy to be implemented so poorly it ends up raising house prices.

At this point, I'm certain the intention is still to prop up housing but make voters think he finally gives a shit about them so he gets re-elected. Based on his track record, I don't have any reason to believe him.

But Pierre Poliviere's platform of "own the libs" including banning abortion and being against trans rights is not an option.

We need ranked choice voting.
