Your anecdote does not disprove the fact that nearly half a trillion dollars is estimated to have been frauded from the US Govt. via PPP and other Trump COVID policies
Maybe, like, I dunno, affordable, community owned-and-managed housing, where living costs aren't determined by what color Corvette the landlord wants this year, would be a good start.
Lmao there's the mask off moment
There is nice government owned housing all over the world.
It's not all gross projects.
We'll just have to agree to disagree on that. The free market does a terrible job at providing housing. You must have just been lucky with your landlords before. The fact that this thread exists demonstrating how crazy high housing is shows that the free market isn't great for providing housing.
