Isn't the "yes" redundant? Should by IMBY.
-
The opposing folks are referred to as NIMBYs though, for “not in my backyard,” so the yes is critical.

A lot of cities have started regulating (or even outright banning) Airbnbs. Get your neighbors on board and start a dialogue with your city council members.
There's not a lot you can do about corporations, but you can encourage other owners not to sell to shell companies.

So just because this one thing won't solve the problem on its own we shouldn't do it. More housing, and especially more affordable housing will help by virtue of creating more supply, and the alternative is building less new housing which has the exact same problem as what you bring up with building more. On top of that corporations and landlords and Airbnb "investors" don't purchase all the housing that is available right now, so even if the rate at which that occurred stayed the same in absolute terms this would mean a lot more housing becoming available to actual residents.

More housing is exactly what America desperately needs right now, and hearing Harris say this makes me want to vote for her.
But I still need to hear that she's going to do something about Israel.
-
But don't we have a declining population now? I feel like tackling corporate ownership of houses would be more impactful and the supply issue gets better over time on its own

Just don't vote 🤷
You can even stop constantly bringing up who you plan to vote for, it's completely legal 🤷

Voting is a civic duty, piss off.

Thank you for revealing you're a fascist so I can block you

Yeah this isn't a plan, you don't have to frame it as a plan. It's literally "all your problems are minorities fault." It's a racist dogwhistle sounding like a bullhorn.
(it's an ethnic cleansing)
