more ADUs

This. I own my home and could probably fit at least two ADUs on my property but the permitting fees alone exceed the cost of construction. Not to mention the cost and hassle of obtaining a permit.

Property taxes went down? I doubt that. As far as upkeep, if the furnace goes out, who pays for that? The property owner. That's what I meant.

the government wouldn’t be trying to turn a profit

lol.

But is still building equity for a private individual.

With risk attached, yes.

I think housing (at least primary housing) shouldn’t be a for-profit industry

Agreed. Nor should food, water, electricity, health services, etc. but here we are.

"the coolest, smartest, best-looking"

Crap, I didn't realize there were prereqs...

Income adjusted rent is a thing all over, not just for boomers. The problem is there isn't enough.

Just curious, why? What difference would it make for you? Many of these mortgages are government funded anyway. I don't rent anymore but my government is far more inept and corrupt than any landlord I've ever dealt with. Just my experience though.

Mortgages are locked in. Taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance/upkeep are not. All of those things have increased since I bought my house a year ago. Rental properties experience the same thing.

That's crazy. I'm in a decent sized city and the average rent for a 2/2 is ~$1800. Hell my mortgage is less than $3k/month.

Perhaps it should say "female from birth". But anyone with basic reading comprehension would understand this. Probably you know this and are being unnecessarily pedantic/argumentative.

How human behavior works? Yeah some. What you're on about, apparently not.

I don't disagree but this is a band-aid. I am not sure that there is a political or economic philosophy in place today (at least in the US) prepared or willing to deal with homeless or hunger properly. We get a lot of politispeak about doing this or that that effectively translates to nothing.

Sure but there was always someone (or a sect of someone's) "in charge" calling the shots.

Even that would devolve into a hierarchy. Someone will want power. It's happened before.

Sure, there are other options. Name a better one.

But you can definitely achieve these things. I'm not rich nor do I hold a college degree and I do it. I dislike my job as much as the next person but this is the world we live in. Would you rather 1984?

The answers to your questions are money, money, yes, and yes. Most people would do the same if in that position.

I guess we could scrap the current system and adopt a new on that will no doubt evolve into essentially the same thing.

Human nature/behavior will not change because of a shift in political or economic philosophy. It's well documented.

People can still have a home, family, stability. I and many of my peers manage it and we are by no means rich.

This is probably the correct answer. I'm a fairly smart guy but the enormity of space is astounding. We aren't going far anytime in the near future. Probably we'll kill each other first. Manned Mars is even a stretch even, imo.

I'm sorry but /c/thathappened

As an ex-christian, I am glad to see /exchristian go in its Reddit state.
