I remember watching a video on the empty (often going on years/decades) apartments in NYC, and how it contributed to the housing crisis in the city.
Makes me wonder if it’s why we’ve been having such a bad housing crisis in the first place.
Glad this dude’s getting their asses.

Dems have been done absolutely nothing on housing during this entire crisis-level bubble. Why would anyone believe they're going to start now?
NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

The housing crisis is FFG policy. It doesn't have to be this way, they choose for it to be this way.

The 21st century has seen a growing crisis of confidence that the US gov't will do anything helpful for most people. Large pockets of the country seem to be breaking down, with non-functioning housing markets and school systems, while others are under federal occupation. Capitalism itself is dying.

I assumed this went without saying, but to be explicit: universal child care will only make a real dent in the housing crisis if it's paired with aggressive action against rent gouging, because landlords will otherwise absorb the gains.
