"We have seen corporate landlords—who own a larger share of the rental market than ever before—use inflation as an excuse to hike rents and reap excess profits beyond what should be considered fair and reasonable."
OK but we have more empty houses than homeless people. We don’t need more houses. We need to stop wasting resources for the sake of capitalism and stop letting people die for it as well. There is going to be a point where people start setting fire to vacant houses in protest. It is amazing what millions of desperate people will do when their screams of frustration go unheard long enough.
This is the chaos that our leaders secretly want. Otherwise they would have to be abysmally stupid. There is no excuse for ignorance in the information age.
This is true, but very few of those houses exist where homelessness is a major problem. Location plays a huge role in someone’s life and we can’t just ship everyone that’s homeless or struggling to a dying small town in the US.
The lowest non-condemned house in my city is currently listed at over half a million dollars. There is a three story office building in my block that has been empty since March 2020.
If the lowest house in your area is $0.5M and it’s selling… that’s supply and demand. Low supply of housing, high demand in your area. It sucks but it’s a lack of local supply to drive prices down (likely coupled with skyrocketing building materials costs due to price gouging “inflation” making building less feasible)
Office space is pretty different for a lot of reasons, and the need for it in general has shrank a lot after the pandemic.
Make the military fix them. They are always bragging about vocational training. Right now the only training they give is how to not seeing a therapist for PTSD. This would at least teach them how to do some basic carpentry work. And would benefit us a lot more compared to making planes that can’t fly in the rain.

Pity we don’t have people whose job it is to do plumbing work. Nope, doesn’t exist.
I’m not understanding what you’re trying to say.

800 billion on the military could probably be enough to fix up all those houses.

Human suffering is power. Kind of crazy imo. I’m imaging a bit of ritual too, like a sacrifice.
