Its become a worldwide problem because airbnb brought in extra demand from the luxury hotel market. Even if you tripled the housing supply it might not make housing affordable given that like a security guard that wants to buy a house will never make enough to compete with like the millionaires going on vacation every other week.

There needs to a be a large tax on airbnbs in residential areas that helps pay for public housing.

We really just need that twilight zone box that if you press the button you get 10,000 dollars but it kills the previous person who pressed the button.

I mean that means if you can find 10 best friends you can all pitch in to put 50% down on a 500 sqft condo in a major city, right? This means its essentially paying a 7x7 ft square of housing at the federal level. Realistically they'd need to start at 90k and state and local govs should pitch in another 90k each to make home buying in most cities affordable.

Isnt this how hillary clinton lost? appealing too much to nobody in particular?

The center is small and fickle in the US. Imo its less they're turned off by leftist policies (people forget red florida passed higher min wages by initiative) and more they're turned off by democrats who drag their feet or complicate things unneccessarily or who balk when their corporate donors tighten the leash.

The way to campaign in the US is to distance yourself from parties while sticking to popular policies.
