Kamala Harris unveils economic plan

[Wild self]

Yes things like that are a problem. When you disturbe the price equilibrium you should be punished. Bottom line the government can only do so much before they make issues a lot worse than before.

When has that ever backfired?

The government, if they cared enough, can make changes overnight. Press them on that, and watch real estate prices drop and watch a massive economic boom where people more more disposable income to spend and invest. Real estate just sucks disposable income from other businesses and activities that stimulates the overall economy.

"upgrade your skills" like being a IT guru or some Hedge Fund Manager

shyt like that is condescending and reeks of "bootstraps" talk that CACs use against black people.

Fast food became a job for adults when outsourcing became commonplace from the 80s onwards. I don't want a luxury condo, I want a clean place where civilized people with well rounded viewpoints live. In plaes where there are good paying jobs and good quality public transportation. Who said anything about luxury? A basic apartment or condo where the toilet is clean and working, where the kitchen sink works, where there is no rampant crime or poverty.

You justify injustice so everyone gotta be some IT or STEM mastermind to live in a quality of life a mailman worked for just 3 decades ago.

Plenty of career fields with vacancies to fill that pay way above the average Americans take home pay.
You can't outsource what's in demand. You nikkaz got a thing in your hand that can tell you just about anything but refuse to google "In demand job skills" or Google "What are the future job prospects of "insert Field here". Almost all these skills can be obtained for free but nikkaz want the government to hold their hand like babies.

If you can't make it as a mailman anymore apply for the many other behind the desk positions that pay a lot more but they come with responsibility and answering to someone which many people don't want to do except to cry about how life's unfair. America is a Corporatocracy and not a Democracy. Look up both definitions and ask yourself which one do you think we all live in. The system maybe on its last legs but when it falls the people have shown time and again they aren't willing to break the entire thing up and start fresh where people instead of wealthy individuals and institutions are the center of everything. This delusion of thinking that voting for this or that person, who both represent a corrupt system, is going to change your life is the real problem.

Go look back at the 70s when government placed price control on things and what happened. You can't attempt to control a natural process or it'll fukk everything up.

IF the system collapses, the first thing I'll so is hack your body to pieces that resembles doggie feces

People like you are crabs in a barrel that hold everyone back, for your short term gain. Not everyone is some IT genius or STEM groundbreaker that pays basic bills.

Reagan fukked it up in the 80s with Neoconservative policies.

The system was fukked up long before than. The people who vote have absolutely no sway in what tge countries foreign or domestic policy is going to be. Outside of making America whiter after slavery, immigration has nothing to do with politics. It's an economic matter.

I think it depends on what you are trying to control. Certain controls make sense certain ones can end badly though.

If you go past the equilibrium you will always have problems especially when you are in a society where wages stopped keeping up with inflation in the 1970s.
The real problem is the corporations meddling in domestic and foreign policies to enrich themselves and throw crumbs at the flunkies i.e politicians, celebrities and other political pundits who help them. Why is George Clooney, Jon Stewart, Kerry Washington, DL Hughly, Kanye telling the average American who to vote for?? Those people live in a completely different socioeconomic reality than the average person.
They shouldn't be able to relate to you.
When people stop playing political cheerleaders over democrat and republican and see that since the inception of the American middle class in the 1950s, everything has gotten harder and the American middle class has drastically shrunk since then maybe real change can happen but not until then.

The level of astroturfing for this duplicitous, unlikeable, slurry voiced wine mum of a woman on this site is 'astro'nomical. A few years ago, most posters either didn't care for her or couldn't stand her.

Maybe she's just that much better than the alternative.

No need to imply "astroturfing" without evidence. You sound hurt. Therapy helps.

Why a Key Biden Effort to Boost Affordable Housing Has Faced Hurdles​

Why a Key Biden Effort to Boost Affordable Housing Has Faced Hurdles

The Biden administration rolled out a plan last year to create more housing by unlocking more than $35 billion in lending capacity. It has yet to close on any loans that would support housing-related projects.

Don't know if anybody read the articleThe gist of it is:

-The housing program takes advantage of the 35 billion from the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) and Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing (RRIF) programs usually meant for transportation.
-The programs are 25 years old and requires congress to ease some of the requirements tied to it. We know how congress is.
-The program is meant only to aid in conversion of commercial properties into housing, and as such, those aforementioned requirements include investment-grade requirements which take some time and money to get around.
-It was one of many programs that were released, with the others being more immediate, and this one taking some more time. A quote from this very article:

“We are on the verge of closing this program’s first housing projects, with dozens more in the pipeline, and demonstrating that this program will be a durable low-cost lending option to develop housing near transit for years to come,” Daniel Hornung, a deputy director at the National Economic Council, said in a statement.

Still, Transportation Department officials said there were certain statutory requirements that only Congress could change. Those requirements are still geared toward building transportation infrastructure, rather than real estate developments. For instance, projects that receive transportation loans have to receive an investment-grade credit rating, which is not typically an issue for public agencies financing traditional transportation projects. But that requirement has been a major barrier for housing developers.

So yea. Also, this has zero to do with the attached video.

The video is relatable due to the fact there isn't enough affordable housing to go around. The video shows the consequences of this.

The video is relatable due to the fact there isn't enough affordable housing to go around. The video shows the consequences of this.

32800 on a waitlist for 13000 vouchers and a waitlist of 1002 people for 116 low-income rental units. The story shows the lady has been waiting 4 years and this program was created in the last year. Its only related in that she needs housing, but the program you quoted is one of the more ambitious of the affordability plan but also the slowest being it has to do with commercial to residential conversion.

That said, we need affordable housing like 16 years ago.
