Housing is not just a crisis in the United States; it's an emergency. According to a recent Harvard study, housing is now unaffordable for half of all U.S. renters. 1/4

In my housing policy, we will build ten million units of social housing in ten years; end exclusionary zoning; pass a Tenant's Bill of Rights; and end all forms of housing discrimination. We will also end Wall Street's predatory purchases of available homes. Housing is not a commodity; it is a necessity. 2/4

We'd already created a situation where only the financially advantaged could have easy access to health care and higher education; now only the financially advantaged can put a roof over the heads? 3/4

This is not America as it should be. The greatest moral task of our generation is to remove the invisible chains of economic constriction that bind a majority of our citizens to lives of chronic financial stress. Where the middle class cannot thrive, democracy cannot thrive. The housing emergency is a threat to both. 4/4

Stop buying votes by subsidizing rents. Only drives them higher. Let the market adjust for true demand, not political pandering.

Our economy belies how bad it is for the working poor. For every American homeless or starving there are thousands who pay for homes and food they can't afford - Because shelter and food are absolute necessities!! The real issue is how little is left over for everything else.

Same in Canada! If your fix works, we’ll copy it. If our fix works, feel free.

same here in Europe...and also the enormous stream of refugees and people looking for a better life. Can't blame em...but it is unsustainable. Sad sad world. And the rich...are having fun, flying around the world spending fun money on every ego-imposing hobby We let it slip..

You know what would help the housing crisis, letting 300,000 people from other countries cross the border every month.
