[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There isn’t a great gov’t example of completely fixing the problem.

But HUD and subsidized affordable housing DOES improve the situation.

But our housing shortage is so severe we need to try everything:  build, rollback zoning, Section 8 subsidized housing, affordable rules, LIHTC subsidized housing.

We need to do everything.  DC should be trying it all.[/quote]

Do we have a housing shortage in America, or a shortage of very cheap housing in expensive neighborhoods? Just want to be clear[/quote]

We have a housing shortage.[/quote]

Lots of houses available in DC.[/quote]

Give it a rest, eh? Yes, you don't want anybody to build any new housing because you've got yours. That doesn't mean there's not a housing shortage. It just means that you've got yours. This is not about those darn millennials/zoomers wanting nice stuff you think they don't deserve, it's about housing - a basic need for human beings of all ages and incomes.[/quote]
