Does anyone think capitalism is getting anything done? Construction is pretty much non existent in the US and we have a housing crisis with no signs of it getting better. People profit more off of not producing housing, keeping it scarce. It feels like we’re at the stage of artificial scarcity for profit
So your theory is that home builders are deliberately sitting on their hands? Are you mad?!
I’ve worked adjacent to their industry, known a great many one-man contractors and a couple of big home builders. Believe it, they will build as fast as they can get permits and capital.
The housing problem is mainly corporate ownership monopolizing homes. That can happen under any system. Look at China for the opposite extreme. They built too many homes! This requires legislation no matter the system.
Second, our populations have exploded. America’s population has increased 59% since I was born and the world population has gone from 3.7B to 8.2B. That’s a lot of bodies to house!

Capitalism is getting plenty done! Just look at the climate!
Look at the global rise of fascism!
Do you think this shit just happens?

You think maybe this could be related?
So the labor force has also exploded
You started off asking if I’m crazy but it seems you’re agreeing with me? I don’t know what point you’re trying to make
