You bet your arse they do when they find out median housing prices are way out of their blue collar paycheck.

I was talking about the people that were employed by all of the FDR projects. Not current day.

I would love to talk about housing though. The fact that we legally allow people from other countries to buy property here while also allowing investment firms to buy entire neighborhoods has a lot to do with our out of control housing market. There are also a lot of people trying to make money on Airbnb and crap like that and it's all creating a huge bubble and a huge problem again. It's the free market doing its magic LOL

I don't think we should allow corporations to buy houses. Straight up. We definitely shouldn't allow people and investors in other countries to do it. We should also have a cap or more regulations on the usage of Airbnb.

You keep being so close to right and then you keep taking a hard right turn. The median prices of homes are because of too much wealthy people investing in them and not enough regulation to curtail that. The government can actually help by building affordable housing but the people that pay for the government don't want that so we don't get it. That crony capitalism you speak of works for the rich not against them
