I would like some houses without people. Having a little surplus is usually a good thing. So like if some houses become unlivable, we have houses for the suddenly unhoused people.
I guess they mean it from a sustainability perspective. Stop building homes that aren't being used to house people, ie, stop building homes for speculators.
But then the house will be lonely :(
Run it as a pet café. In the above-mentioned emergency, people can move in, but they have to foster the pets.
That's perfect. I'm voting for you for king of the world
no houses without people while there's people without houses
That part of things could be aimed a China. They have something like double the amount of housing their population needs. To someone in a country with out of control housing prices, that might sound like a good problem to have, but it's still wasteful.
House?
Dr House might be an abusive asshole, but he's not that much of a piece of shit
Drag wishes departments of diagnostic medicine were real
In Canada they say we have a housing supply problem. I think about that a lot on my morning drive to work as I drive by row after row of massive houses with nobody living in them.
I will not rest until a squatter occupies every empty investor-owned home
purrrrfect balance of supply and demand 😸
You aren't allowed you move out of a home unless someone else is moving in. We can all create a chain like hermit crabs or those organ donations to help find more completed solutions. You know, I was being facetious but this would actually be doable....
Most people buy with a mortgage, so that is functionally exactly the situation they are in. Most property transactions are part of a chain, and if any link in that chain fails, the entire thing, which can be many links long, comes to a screeching halt and possibly collapses.
I wouldn't be surprised if the USSR tried to implement something like that lol
We’re literally doing that in capitalist countries. If I want to break my lease without finding a subletter, it would cost 10% of the median annual income.
Maybe Marx was right?
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, [administrator and worker, MBA and engineer, director and doctor, landlord and tenant], in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another..."
The kind of free market I can get behind
But there's a problem. Everyone can make people not not everyone can make house :(
Another reason to defend abortion access. GOP out, at every level!
(If you aren't in the US, still vote to shut conservatives out, every election. They can't be trusted, they'll steal your rights.)
I obviously do. I am very much a voter. I am not sure if this is true, but it feels like more people vote here than in the US.
We do have shamefully low turnout
Everyone can make house, it's actually really easy.
How?
Fuck yeah, squat the world.
i first thought this was some anti homeless shit
No, people without houses!
"We don't want homeless people in our city" can mean two very different things.
Where I like to ride bikes is a huge wildlife preserve, with giant houses in it that are only used for 2 weeks a year.
