Maybe raise wages so people can afford to buy a home?
There are economic policies that have been done in the past to do this and they worked. Keynesian policies, taxing the wealthy, various housing plans. There was a housing shortage post WWII and it was solved. We know exactly how to solve this problem because we’ve solved this problem in the past.
Just a lot of people don’t know to vote for it because the options are presented as being a decision between status quo and some commie bullshit by the likes of Fox News. Leftists always seem like they’re trying to be willing strawmen to help the right win elections so nothing will ever change. You’re creating a false dichotomy between status quo and something that obviously won’t work, so people choose the status quo.
Keynesian economic policy would give our institutions (and the ruling class) a new lease on life. Unfortunately, these are also the same institutions that spent the last 70 years stripping out everything but the military make-work programmes. I don’t think our leaders, any of them, ideologically capable of recognizing any of the benefits of returning to that compromise.
