[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is absolutely no reason to change near-in zoning to increase density when there are thousands of vacant homes in  places like Baltimore, Cleveland, and Detroit that the government can't give away.  Maybe Biden should focus on addressing how to fix the surplus housing caused by job loss and crime before trying to ghettoize functioning suburbs. [/quote]

The IRA and other bills passed help address job creation and crime. The GOP voted against these bills. It takes time to undo decades of urban neglect, but places like Baltimore and Cleveland have to work at the state and regional level to capture their place in the corporate heirarchy to attract investment, businesses and thus jobs. That is why Biden has been so focused on Jobs jobs Jobs...because jobs actually do trickle down.

I have seen nothing from the GOP from a policy standpoint to address this. But it still doesn't help when there are jobs in places like the DC area and there aren't in Cleveland. How does moving please from the DC area to Cleveland help when the jobs are here and not there?[/quote]

If our government isn't able to export jobs to Cleveland, Baltimore or Detroit (and I don't see why not), then it's time to seriously consider UBI. [/quote]
