Housing shortages aren’t solved because of what would happen if it was. To solve the housing issue, you’d need to lower the price by increasing supply. Why are people against that? Because then you have tons of people who already own an home underwater on their loans. It’s really unfortunate but this is how a lot of people think about the housing issue.
I think most of these issues are complex and beyond left or right wing ideologies. Truth is, at least here in the states, both the democrat and republican parties are bought and controlled by the ultra-wealthy. The ultra-wealthy don’t want these issues solved because then they would lose revenue streams.
And I’m sure you have your assumptions of me but while I lean conservative I am pro-union and in favor of rules promoting small businesses while breaking up large monopolies.
Oh yeah, both sides bad. And what, you think that the right wingers/conservatives are on the side of the working class economically? You think that the parties that are screaming to cut taxes of the wealthy (check the tax cuts handed out by the R in 2016-2020, check out the actual way they manipulate the bills in house and senate) are actually behaving and tell me you’re not getting conned hand over fist.

You cannot support corporations , the rich , and conservatives and be Pro-union. The only unions conservatives support, are ironically based on ideology, like coal or petrol extraction.
Unlike the right to work definition as a human right in international law, U.S. right-to-work laws do not aim to provide a general guarantee of employment to people seeking work but rather guarantee an employee’s right to refrain from paying or being a member of a labor union.
When (if) you look at those wikipedia articles, you will notice that the “right to work 😉” states are generally R voting, conservative ones. You know, the same party you seem to vote for if you’re not underage or not even from the US, since you don’t actually participate in Lemmy as a whole, and post articles to conservative communities and reply to your own posts only.
Conservatives are not pro union. Unions are a left wing way for workers to collectively get a better deal at the expense of capitalists.
And again, we (allegedly) both want something to be done. Conservatives will do nothing.

Wow, sucks for them for having played the game and lost. Oh well, it’s a financial risk. Shouldn’t have bought a house you couldn’t afford. Also, cite reference, people with mortgages that are dependant on the market are the people that set up this fucking issue to begin with, so let them go bankrupt, you’re right wing, right? It’s personal responsibility and part of the risk of investment. These aren’t families with someone working to pay off the mortgage, it’s an asshole that decided to take out 3 mortgages and pretend they’re an investor, or it’s a faceless corporation, possibly owned by (dun dun dun) FOREIGNERS!!!
I agree with a lot of what you say. But do you really think the democrat party is not ran by the ultra-wealthy as well? I mean look at how they swept bernie sanders under the rug. He was the best candidate of your party in decades.
Housing shortages are also driven by regulations. Not saying that’s good or bad but we have regulations that govern everything. The condo I have took 5 years to build due to the zoning, environment inspections, etc.
That’s a long lead time to build a home when there is already a shortage.

What my party dude? I’m not in the US.
If you’re honestly trying to equate both parties to be the same, you’re not reading anything that happens in the news.

Here’s one for free from 2 years ago, look out for others on your own time.
By the way, when you say you’re “conservative but pro union” you’re basically end up saying “I’m bigoted, but I’m still working class”.
Paywall

Agreed. Gone are the days when you could build your own house. Codes are too complex now and it’s made building too expensive
