the conservative or libertarian idea of rights is focused on negative rights, like "you have a right to not be punched in the face", which does not require a cost or labor from other people. My right to free speech does not require someone else to labor or pay for me to receive something. It's a restriction on how other people can infringe on my actions, not a requirement that other people perform certain actions.It's a really deep fundamental difference in worldview that exists between people, and is really the core of political differences IMHO. Metallica thrash metal band Santa Christmas Shirt Sweater  The two different views just comprehend each other, because to the positive rights side, the other guys are evil cruel selfish bastards who are fine with people being homeless or poor and want to deny them of their 'rights', to deny them of what they believe to be a 'human right' that every human should have.

what are the responsibilities of those entitled?How much can home owners control what is built next to or near them? How does the level of that control throttle home value/prices. Would you prefer a whorehouse next door or a mansion? Again, who decides? The muni? The bank? The guy with money?One of the great drivers of housing in the last few decades has been the level of the local school districts? Do we try to fix those  Dogs And Horses Make Me Happy Humans Make My Head Hurt Shirt Sweater differences first?Another of the drivers of housing has been proximity to jobs/city services? Do we try to fix rapid transit to relieve housing pressure on certain areas?If immigration is thought to cause some excesses, If all human beings are equal, they all have the same rights by virtue of their shared nature. If government exists to guarantee that right to housing, how would it be able to discriminate on the basis of income who can/cannot receive a government house?Do only poor people have...

I live in a popular vacation destination and lack of affordable housing is killing our community. Our homeless population is huge, and even people who have decent jobs can’t afford a home in the area (I have a government job and I can’t!)  Whisper Words Of Wisdom Let It Be Shirt Sweater  while the multi million dollar waterfront homes sit empty for nine months out of the year. The towns consistently vote not to add affordable housing, but then complain about the homeless and wonder why young people are leaving the community. Before long, there won’t be anyone left to serve the tourists. It breaks my heart. If we accept that there are excess profits in housing, who decides what is excess? Once that decision is made, who will invest to build housing that yields that profit. And once that housing has been built, what limits the municipality from increasing the tax burden and reducing those profits. Which leads to the question of how to adjust those limits based upon the fiscal ...

No, your saying that the homes must be built. So who is going to build them if they won't make a profit, if they will be used to house people who can't afford them? No one. If you can't make a profit, no one will build them. Your advocating that people who build these homes should be paid, but in your scenario, would be paid poorly, so you get what you pay for, poorly built homes.I agree that we should do more to tip the scales in favor    Mahoning Valley Scrappers Shirt Sweater   of people having decent, safe housing, but I wish people like AOC understood the difference between a right and an entitlement.Housing is not and can never be a right. Rights cost nothing and require nothing of anyone. They are ideas that cannot be taken away except by tyranny and I think it's dangerous to confuse this idea with something which requires resources. All of the rights laid out in the constitution basically describe boundaries of government power. BUY THIS SHIRT :  Mahoning...

She just put in a washer dryer unit for a lady who has been renting from her for more than 20 years. My mom loves her and when asked she was happy to do it. The washer dryer unit was 1,200 the plumber was 2,200, the electrician was 800, dealing with the city+permit was 500. End of the day, it was nearly 5 grand to put the  Official Pensacola Strong Shirt Sweater thing in. That unit won't break even for years. But they do it knowing that yeah, they'll live with a bit of work until the properties are paid off. This isn't fucking rocket science. When the properties get paid off is when they make their money. And by the fucking way, middle class that you describe isn't middle class in actual life. That's just the reality. If there is no profit motive, no one will build rental housing.If you want affordable housing, let developers build more easily and lower government restrictions in urban areas.

I'm with you when it comes to rent control, but I fail to see how anything else you cited is the problem, especially when it comes to housing. This is a simple supply and demand problem. These cities have all the jobs and limited housing.  Fearless reputation lover 1989 red taylor swift signature Shirt People need to live near where they work in order to take advantage of the job, which increases demand beyond supply. That causes rents and housing prices to soar. What we need to do is increase supply, but because we're dealing with real estate, there's only a limited amount of space where we can do that.

I agree that housing should be a right for all people but where the question becomes more complex is over the location of that housing.In a Canadian example people often cite the crazy home prices in Toronto and Vancouver but nobody ever mentions there are dirt cheap properties all over rural Canada that people refuse   Dogs And Horses Make Me Happy Humans Make My Head Hurt Shirt Sweater    to consider these options. They would rather be poor in a mega city than actually set roots in a smaller townI've worked in property management and with real estate investors. The vast, vast majority of rental properties are owned by the middle class. And, you may think your rent is high, but trust me the profit margin is slim. The homeowner has way more expenses than renters realise.retirement. They aren't rolling in cash. And, the ones who own 10, 15, 20 units have to either take care of them fulltime, hire a staff and pay them, or hire a management team. They take all the risk, do...
