Michael, you ignore reality. That's not research, it's YIMBY cherry picking (file drawer effect) Don't mention what makes you, your gentrifying, evicting, YIMBY friend #EliSpevak and your AIRBNB sponsor look bad. Abundance dreams won't abate these unattractive realities.

"Strongest natural-born Nazi in the room". The way labor leaders manipulated rank and file to force Biden endorsements for 2024 in 2021. The way the DNC caves in any crisis. Labor killing #SinglePayer aka #DNC727
L is a very powerful labor leader. “My dear, he is a man of the people, but really fascinating.“ L is a man of the people and just exactly as fascinating as my horsy, bank vice-president, on-the-make acquaintance over there, and for the same reasons and in the same way. L makes speeches about the “third of the nation,” and L has made a darned good thing for himself out of championing the oppressed. He has the best car of anyone in this room; salary means nothing to him because he lives on an expense account. He agrees with the very largest and most powerful industrialists in the country that it is the business of the strong to boss the weak, and he has made collective bargaining into a legal compulsion to appoint him or his henchmen as “labor’s” agents, with the power to tax pay envelopes and do what they please with the money. L is the strongest natural-born Nazi in this room.

A picture that includes 4 smaller frames that are identical pictures of a large freeway jam-packed with cars going nowhere at 0 mph. The only thing different about each smaller picture frame is that the caption below it changes starting out in the top left with cars then clockwise electric cars then Uber Lyft cars and autonomous cars. The truth is that the proportion of a vehicle does not in any way bring our car based culture any type of reform. Our cities and towns and streets and even spaces in front of schools are dominated by dangerous vehicles that we avoid by living a scared humans on the narrow sidewalks.

They proudly talk about gentrifying neighborhoods and excuse this as being okay if there is some affluence in their target.

#EmergencyPriceControlAct created low rents, high home ownership. Housing was not good for greedy investors.

Now in crisis, homes and rent unaffordable, people become houseless. Adding more housing is like adding more chips to a rigged casino

bsky.app/profile/aust...
Google AI overview Yes, the U.S. Congress did pass the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942. This act was enacted on January 30, 1942, to help control inflation during World War II. The act established the Office of Price Administration (OPA) and authorized it to regulate prices, rents, and other market practices to stabilize the economy. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Purpose: The primary goal of the act was to prevent excessive price increases and profiteering, which were major concerns as the U.S. geared up for and entered World War II. Increased government spending, reduced consumer goods production due to wartime priorities, and the injection of money into the economy all contributed to inflationary pressures.
