There Is No Housing Crisis | The Walrus
A housing system that serves all but one group is not in a state of crisis; it is one based on structural inequality and economic exploitation.
While I agree that supply is only part of the problem, I find this article just vaguely blames capitalism without providing any real solutions.
Is it capitalism to blame or the lack of controls on who can own how many rental properties?
I agree, some proposed solutions would be good, but it’s also an excerpt from a longer work that could include some.
It's a failure of neoliberalism as an ideology.
Isn’t capitalism the cause of the lack of controls though? People with money lobbying the government to do things in their favour, and government officials with financial stake in making sure nothing changes?
