I wonder how it would go over if I applied to jobs I'm in training for but not yet qualified for.

Like I said, it sounds too good to be true, which is why I'm here to get the actual scoop. Thanks for the resources.

I think the biggest problem you laid out there is the need to get developers interested. The state should be building housing to rent out or sell just above break-even with profit cycled back into the treasury, instead of these neofeudal landleeches sucking our blood and resources.

What I want, what I think will make this country actually work well, will likely never happen bc you cannot solve individual problems as if they exist in a vacuum. We cannot reform our way out of this piecemeal. What point am i trying to make? I'm not even sure anymore. It's disorienting and depressing to always feel like you're trying to navigate to simply a less bad situation but never to a good one

Well wouldn't increased housing cause increased demand for goods and services? Wouldn't it be better for residents of these new properties to be able to access these goods and services hyperlocally so they don't contribute to traffic congestion?

Rents don't cover costs, then?
A union without the right to strike is like a military without guns. What's even the point?

Because in American politics terms seem to be deliberately misused to obfuscate the class based nature of our problems 🤔
Also this is how the terms are used among basically all American Marxists and socialists, American mainstream politics aren't politics they're a circus

You're confusing the progressive/socially liberal<->socially conservative CULTURAL axis with the liberal<->socialist ECOMINIC axis
Republicans are socially conservative but economically liberal. The founding fathers were liberals. Reagan Bush Clinton Bush Obama and Trump are all liberals.

I'm not being partisan; I'm aware that democrats are nominally less trash than republicans. By liberal I simply mean non-socialist

Both parties are liberal parties. I'm not singling out one over the other. When I say liberal all I mean is "non socialist"

Liberalism, ie free market ideology. The idea that the government should stay out of the economy.

Or ban rent seeking, ownership of a non primary residence (second/vacation homes), and corporate ownership of residences🤷♂️
Ya know, actually change things?

Stop saying that. There are more vacant homes than homeless people!

Please read Marx and Lenin.
And Rosa for that matter, because she settled the reform vs revolution question over a century ago

Why build houses? There are more empty houses than homeless people and guns would certainly help expropriate them from the parasites that are hoarding them.

What people seem to be unwilling to accept is that you cannot reform your way out of these problems. The system is working as intended. You're going to have to vigorously embrace the second amendment and make a lot of rich people very mad if you want to improve this country to any meaningful extent

We CAN take care of every person and problem in this country. The are enough resources to do all of these things. What is lacking is political will
