>>713872426>This isn't preferable to unlicensed, unclean, unpoliced and unsafe tent cities in your opinion?No.
>You're correct but what's the alternative under a right leaning state gov?Hard close the border (slow demand). Build housing (increase supply). It's to the point where it can easily be considered a federal crisis because it's not just LA, and as such justifies mass subsidy for housing complexes. It won't happen under any state or federal government of any leaning because there's a financial incentive to keeping property supply low and demand high, you have no idea how much property Blackrock and other investment firms control, they'll never allow policy to threaten the capital tied up in it.
Unironically, it might end up more affordable to move to a third world country in a decade or two.
