@ThomasSowell When the gov simultaneously devalues your savings, increases costs of living expenses, and brings in cheap foreign labor to lower your wages, it's not really a surprise that the productivity gains via tech aren't enough to offset.
@erichhartmann It's not either or, you buffoon. It's both. Federal regs inflate material and labor costs, while local zoning limits the type and number of housing units built per land unit.
@AnnCoulter HUD policies preexist this law. Most of the language of this law reduces federal regulation, and incentivizes localities to do the same thereby allowing for more bulding. There's no provision of this law that will cause "mass ghettoification". Typical hyperbolic rhetoric.
@anannoyedtexan@TXTanoStan99 HUD spending was already a common before passage of this particular law. Please specify the law's language that establishes HUD spending that preempts locality zoning control and thereby causing "mass ghettoification".
I see many "right wing" influencers claiming the new housing law is Marxist or socialist or framing it as solely the product of Liz Warren. What I haven't seen is any of them actually sourcing their claims to the language of the law. They're either liars or can't read.
