robust public sector allowing for said sector to be the setter of pricing norms. Empowerment of local housing authorities to set standards of what rent can be. Empowering tenant advocacy group's ability to dispute rent. community land trusts. Buying land and selling specifically to those building.
When are you going to name the incentives? These are all controls which will not incentivize new building.
Son are you serious?
As a heart attack. They way to bring prices down is to increase supply. The way to increase supply is to build more housing. None of what you proposed results in more housing being built. None of it incentivizes building. Just the opposite in most cases.
And that's not even addressing the political reality of your suggestions. "Empower local groups to set rent" if you could plausibly do that you wouldn't need to.
Isn't god king Klien always talking about expanding the horizons of what ispossible?
The way to bring prices down, is to bring them down. By hook or crook. Supply is absolutely part of that. So are other methods. I don't just want to slow rent's sprint upwards, which is what a supply only approach will lead to. I want to force it down beyond the temporary 10% a housing boom does.
