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

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

I agree with about half. We need to get mega corps out of the loopholes their lobbiests have created. We need to have basic care like in most other countries. But we need to make sure we don't do things like keeping squatters rights. It's ridiculous. (I don't have rentals.)

I’m a blue collar worker. Right now I earn around $80,000 a year. I’m living on a third of that. Saving the rest. By my calculations it should take around 3-4 years to either buy my first semi or first home even if it’s just a single family. I’m not going to let this world win!

And you are right; this is not America as it should be. This is unfettered CAPITALISM as the worlds richest and well connected want it to be! Therefore the working class has to think outside the box and outsmart our enemies! Like it or not. We have no choice! Fight or die!

@cenkuygur @AnaKasparian CONSUMERISM is the enemy of the poor!! And like it or not, we have to look at this as a WAR! A war on the middle class. That we have to think outside the box and push back against By taking this first step!👇 No more borrowing money for any reason!
