"Affordability"

I understand very little about econ...

But WTH is the government supposed to do to improve "affordability"?

I mean...according to the Dems?

Just about the only thing I can think of is: lower taxes...

...which, of course, is definitely not what the Dems are thinking.

Are they thinking of counterproductive nonsense like rent control?

Decreasing regulations might be a way...but, again, there's no way that's what the Dems are thinking.

I've heard people talk about housing policy...

But that often includes nuking zoning ordinances...which I will fight tooth and nail. That's the kind of bullshit rich people don't have to worry about--but we've got a helluva lot of money in our house, and our neighborhood is the kind that could possibly be wrecked but such a policy.

So no dice.

We could open up lots of housing by deporting the hordes of illegals the Dems let in...

...but, again, that's not what they're thinking...

Might have helped if the Biden admin hadn't printed money like maniacs--under cover of half-hearted gestures at MMT...

Anyway, I'm at a loss.
