Politicians and interest groups from across the ideological spectrum are pushing for changes to boost housing construction in areas where people want to live.
the whole point is that people will be able to buy homes and turn them into apartments, that’s the outcome we’re looking for
I don’t support that and it would do nothing to improve conditions. Creating a middleman is useless
Rampant landlordism is a driving factor for why things are as bad as they are. Such landlords contribute nothing to housing supply. More dense government owned affordable housing for purchase is the solution, not private landlordism
A landlord who just buys a property and rents it out is doing nothing for the housing supply but obviously a developer that buys a house and turns it into an apartment building is increasing the housing supply regardless of whether they rent the apartments or sell them or whatever.
Not sure what you mean by government owned housing available for purchase - surely it’s either government owned or being purchased? A big government house building program would be fantastic, but that’s no reason to support keeping restrictions on also helpful private house building.
