      good luck angering the rich real estate-owning people without a backup plan

        At this point we need somebody who will just come out and say it: it’s everyone else versus landlords.

        Fuck them. You cant outsource an apartment building to China. Make their lives hell and if they decide being a landlord isn’t worth it and sell their property at a loss then everyone is better off for it

      What we need is more housing, and that means looser zoning, which means fighting the NIMBYs. I would love to see mixed zoning become a more common thing in the US (and everywhere TBH).
