Hey Folks, I have an opportunity here very soon to have some say in the affordable housing situation in my town (we’ll see). While I read over the planning and studies the town has already done, I’d like to get a sense of the field for what effective policy looks like, what current left thinking on the matter is.

I don’t know what I don’t know, you know? Obviously, any advocacy I do will need to be a synthesis of the conditions of the place I live and whatever current leading thinking is on the matter, while dealing with the limitations of liberal democracy. I figured this was a good place to ask.

    that people moving around is a function of porkies investing in some places due to arcane laws and causing worker movements, thus they can keep doing that charade every time they make investment decision. you can have 50 million empty homes and housing shortages in places people have to live to work in actuality.
