Easily funded and supported federally.

It’s a state power. They can support it but it’s not a thing they can do. It’s also a short term solution more about CoL that makes the problem worse

I know that. But I disagree entirely with you, as do many federal politicians. If you for one moment think the federal government cannot help the states with a housing crisis across the country and want to argue that from that angle - please stop. You’re wrong.

The only proper fix is building more where people want. Anything else is a sugar hit that normally gets decried as being exactly that

I disagree. There are many “tweaks” that need to occur. Tax incentives need to be hitched to providing affordable rentals in line with the cpi and rents need to never go above the cpi as housing is a need, a right and security. You are oversimplifying and disregarding an awful lot. It’s disingenuous

Yes the entire thing needs to be overhauled. We have to get people out of massive portfolios, that’s the starting point for fixing the rental scheme. But caps aren’t anything but a short term solution for the renters already in houses, as proof look at everywhere they exist

You’re a bloody broken record harping on supporting the status quo without a single solution offered. Stop talking to me 51monbl1 whoever you are. I am NOT impressed. 😡

And you’re doing something else? It’s build more housing. That’s what I’ve been saying and that’s the only long term answer. By the way you can look all this up. Restricting rental markets reduces new housing and makes non controlled renting more expensive. But the greens say here’s some $$$

That alone will not solve the crisis and to pretend that’s a whole solution to where we are is to be so blind it almost hurts to listen. I have no need to look up anything - I have been engaging in this topic for well over ten years. Lived it. So back off. Go away. Leave it to people who see.

It’s a massive problem tied into a whole lot of others in housing, even related to tax, and no solution is going to fix it on its own. Caps are one thing that helps part of segment but not others within that segment, so good governance is trying to fix those others too. Not just do one thing
