Jeff Bezos appears to BACKSLAP Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is BLAMING landlords for high prices instead of addressing the root cause of the problem and actually bringing forward real solutions. “In the case of housing, for certain politicians to point at landlords and say this is the fault of greedy landlords. This isn't what's going on. Housing is a simple supply and demand situation.”
Bret Baier: “Why is socialism taking off in some quarters?”
Jeff Bezos: “We do have real affordability problems. So people look at the cost of housing, for example, and it's very expensive. And so you can't pretend that there are no problems… Young people do look, they look at the cost of housing and they think, gosh, I'm going to have to live two hours out of town. I can't possibly live close to my job. So I don't think we should underestimate the problems.”
“We should also look at what the real solutions are. Housing is a good example because… it's a place where a lot of the government intervention that's happened has been counterproductive. And instead of work on the real solution, it's very common for, you know, in the case of housing, for certain politicians to point at landlords and say this is the fault of greedy landlords. This isn't what's going on. Housing is a simple supply and demand situation. It's econ 101. And if you put in place government programs that subsidize demand and constrain supply, you are going to get high prices. And that's what many municipalities do.”
“If you can look at a counterexample, which is Austin, where over the last 10 years, they've implemented many policies designed to make it easier to build houses. And they have housing prices going down in Austin. So some politicians are governing correctly on this issue, but many are not. And you can get the support.”
@AC360 All she does it lie. She lies about the clip. She lies about why her city burnt down. She is a DEI retard race baiting commy liar. Fuck the fat pig.
Pretending Trump asked Iran to bomb California because you’re not allowed to listen to 10 seconds of context which disproves it is the perfect example of why I left The Democratic Party two years ago.
It’s deeply unserious, effeminate, dishonest behavior that causes real harm.
@Acosta Jim, you don’t deserve to be a reporter. Go listen to the fucking speech. This is Charlottesville hoax 2.0 which made the media look fucking retarded and uncredible.
