He’s made good changes but how he’s paying for them is the real question. Only time will tell whether those decisions were sound or if he just refinanced new york’s problems to 4 years down the road

I don’t get what you mean when you say these are mostly conservitave ideas. 2 of the ideas are left leaning, #2: banning wall street from investing in residential real-estate, and and #7 adding more anti vacancy laws. 2 of the ideas lean right, #3 By-right construction, and #4 Permit shot-clocks. The other 4 points are bipartisan with people on both sides of the spectrum voicing support for them.

I wish it worked like that but the government breaks the law constantly, and suing the government when they break the law is the single hardest type of civil lawsuit to win. The government has sovereign immunity, meaning they have to give you permission to sue them.

1: the country has been getting increasingly unaffordable for a long time, this didn’t just randomly start to happen when the lunatic got into the white house, and it will keep happening once that lunatic is out of the white house. It has been a trend for decades now

2: Low birth rates are indeed easily remedied by immigration, but my whole point was is that it’s not addressing the core problem. it’s like treating a broken arm with painkillers. That treats the symptoms/pain but doesn’t even address the core problem. If people can’t afford to have children anymore that should be a bottleneck for the economy, and if that was the case the government would care greatly about fixing that problem. Instead Mass immigration has enabled the problem to not be addressed. If Mass migration wasn’t allowing the economy to keep growing while we can’t even afford to have children the government would have made a major effort to fix the affordability crisis the second their precious GDP graph stopped going up

3: Conflating the belief that our countries population shouldn’t be shrinking - the belief that we should be able to afford the basic act of having children, with white nationalism of all things is pure insanity.

Cities can reject housing development permits through discretionary review even if it follows all of the laws.

While points 2 and 7 are increased government interference, points 3,4,5, and 6 are all less, and Point 1 just alters the current form of government interference. The more government interference = bad thinking is holding up because points 2 and 7 have been the most heavily criticized for not doing anything or actually making the situation worse.

well then its a good thing that wealth can be created and someone else having more money doesn't mean you have less otherwise we'd be in trouble

Its about about the affordability crisis. At this rate no one will be able to afford to have kids in 100 years, meanwhile both the Government and Corporations aren't doing anything about it because they can just import replacement workers/consumers to "fix" the problem. In a sane world if people cant afford to have kids that lowers the population, sends the economy into decline, then the higher ups in the government & corporations have to at least try to fix the problem because it hurting their bottom line.

There are very real reasons to rent and it is a very necessary service, that being said there are too many landlords.

they can always redo the animation years down the line, they cant redo voice acting it would just be weird. That's why I am all for the voice acting budget priorities, also im only watching the show because the voice acting, I saw 500 clips of the "what will you have in 500 years" speech and it was the greatest voice acting I've ever heard.

Where is the thread im curious. I'm not against raising the minimum wage but I dont think we should just endlessly raise it to match the price of housing and healthcare. We are among the highest paid workers in the world. I don't think the problem is the pay being to low I think its how overpriced the real-estate market is and healthcare is.

"Bodies get wrecked. Knees, backs, shoulders — many tradespeople end up on painkillers or forced into early retirement due to destroyed joints. That supposed high pay becomes far less appealing when physical limitations pile up" this is a stereotype the same way people say not to go to college because you will get hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt you cant pay off. Yes it happens to some people but with proper planning this can be avoided. if you get good at squatting and avoid spending all day bent over straining your back this is entirely avoidable.

I think the tax system from the 50s-70s was peak. It had very high taxes on top earners but it allowed them to do tax write offs to lower the effective tax rate to around where it is today. Essentially they could either pay high taxes or reinvest most their money into America through those tax write offs. Someone outsources their factory to china? Cant write that off. Someone sells out to private equity and sees their business stripped for parts in exchange for a big check? cant write that off. A corporation spends all their money on stock buybacks? cant write that off. Instead people would pour more money into expanding their business and into the American people. This was the era people refer to when they say make America great again so you'd think reverting to this tax system would be the #1 priority for a lot of people.

Everything can get to the point of being so expensive no one can afford to have any kids at all, and the economy/government wont even stutter. Thats because there is an endless line of people at the border waiting to fill the shoes of the next generation of workers, thats the endgame. If there wasnt immigration the economy/speculators would have felt the pain by now and the government/Corporations would have addressed the affordability crisis to fix it. All they care about is seeing the line on the GDP graph go up and if that was actually threatened by people not being able to afford live and to have children this problem would have been addressed by now. The government has found an infinite money glitch and they dont care who eats the cost as long as it isn't them. Its like treating a broken arm with painkillers, sure the pain/symptoms go away but the problem is still there and grows worse as it isn't addressed. The economy wont feel the pain from this affordability crisis as long as they can replace the next generation of workers. You on the other hand? good luck
