I'm going to play Disco Elysium where every time there could be a real commentary of neoliberal globalism is just devolves into "EAT THE RICH", "KILL THE COMMIES" or some cuck shit.

The housing crisis is a real thing that affects tons of countries right now. This isn't some alt-history hypothetical.
@crunklord420

I blame credit for this. When you had to save and had the money in hand, there was plenty of cheap housing. Nowadays when loans have driven up the prices sky high there's plenty of homes, it's just unaffordable.
@nerdman @crunklord420 True, specially here in Europe. In southern Europe housing prices are insane but there are inmense amounts of empty houses. And also lots of unfinished houses left abandoned
@Morghur @crunklord420

The solution isn't more credit. This would drive housing higher. The solution isn't expropriating and selling for cheap, it would kill the construction industry...

God damn, I think we can't actually fix this with just market stuff other than let everything go into a PAINFUL recession to lower prices.

The alternative is communism though and that's worse than any recession. Fuck.
@nerdman @crunklord420 Personally, i would say let the construction industry fall. It's proven here that they were greasing politicians to allow them to build in lands not used for building or ignoring certain laws and regulations when building.
@Morghur @crunklord420

That means no new construction, means higher prices. We want more construction for smaller prices.

WAIT A SECOND. The 20watt bulb brightens somewhat.

What if we let normal regular people build their own home wherever they want without any form of regulation. Not have huge developments. Individuals hiring maybe some contractors. Building their own shit without the government putting controls on it.

@nerdman @Morghur @crunklord420 sounds like COMMUNISM to me
