    Why is the for profit house building industry involved in solving the problem they had a hand in making?

    Reform the CPA and just build ourselves. Or use the army core of engineers. They are getting paid either way.

      Non-profit / below market housing is crucial. Without it, the people who actually keep cities functioning and interesting, service workers, artists, etc get pushed out.

      I have a career that enables me to pay a lot of money for housing but I don’t want to live in a neighbourhood that only consists of people like me, cause I’m boring as fuck. I also don’t want to be part of the reason those people get displaced.

      More social housing now!
