ACP Colorado cadre are gaining hands-on construction experience, learning advanced fabrication techniques for mass production of affordable housing, and why affordability cannot be achieved as long as inflated asset prices are protected for landlords, financiers, and rent-extracting elites.

Private rents are part of the cost of living crisis. For some people, rent accounts for 50% of their income. As long as we don’t have enough affordable housing, rent controls should be seriously considered as a solution.

Mobile home parks are one of the last sites of truly affordable housing in America. But now corporations and landlords see them as another cash cow. So residents are organizing. We went to Montana, where people are forming tenant unions and fighting for housing they can afford.

Canadians are in desperate need of affordable housing. For too long, the Liberals and Conservatives have allowed our housing market to be overrun by corporate landlords. We can't trust those who created the problem to fix it.

Today on FDR’s birthday, we launch the Houston Progressive caucus. For too long working Houstonians have been left behind by billionaires and elites as rent increases, food prices skyrocket, and traffic gets worse. We are here to fight for working class Houstonians. 🧵1/3

We have to ban private equity firms from buying American homes and completely rethink investment properties limits Report shows supply is not what’s causing home prices to skyrocket, “Of the 381 major US cities, only 4 have a housing shortage” Here’s what is: “We're told that homes are expensive because there isn't enough supply and that we should let the housing industry build more homes. But out of the 381 major US cities, one, only four have a housing shortage. So why can't people afford homes anymore? Because we no longer treat homes as a place for people to live in, but as a property for the rich and corporations to invest in. When working people buy homes, they're not competing against other families, they're competing against investment companies and for profit landlords. Homes aren't getting more expensive because people are lazy or there isn't enough supply. They're expensive because for profit landlords are gobbling up all the homes and, and forcing working people to pay rent. Across the US Millions of homes are owned by these for profit landlords, and that number should be zero”

Thomas Sowell on why rent control is so damaging: “If rent control is severe, people either reduce the amount of housing they build or they stop building housing altogether.” “Political authorities are then confronted with a situation where there’s no new housing built and the old housing is wearing out—usually faster under rent control because the landlords don’t have to keep it up as much.” “So they step in and have some kind of modification. They say, ‘We are trying to protect the poor, so we won’t regulate luxury housing.’” “Of course, luxury housing and ordinary housing use much the same labor and the same materials. Therefore, all the materials that would have otherwise gone into making ordinary housing go into building luxury housing.”

Today, I am proud to announce that I will be proposing “Zohran’s law," a law that will keep the rich out of New York’s affordable housing. Zohran Kwame Mamdani : you say freeze the rent. But for who? Rich people like you? Hardworking, working class New Yorkers are being pushed from their neighborhoods. Let’s build affordable housing that helps the people who need it. Under Zohran’s law, landlords can no longer rent vacant rent-controlled units to the wealthy. You are a rich person stealing affordable housing from the poor. And you’re not the only one. It’s past time we address this injustice. Let’s build a new NYC that works for the people who need it.

Housing is a human right. No one in this city should have to worry about losing their home or end up on the streets due to systemic issues. Homelessness and the housing crisis are not two different problems, they are two sides of the same coin. And they have the same solution – permanent affordable housing. Trickle down economics is a fallacy. The market cannot provide affordable housing. Prices are only going up, driving people into homelessness, or out of the city entirely. Rae will build social housing on public lands and speed up housing production citywide, cutting red tape while keeping in place tenant and homeowner protections to ensure that people are able to keep their homes. Rae will streamline the city’s housing strategy, creating a Mayor’s Office of Housing For All to consolidate these different departments under one roof, with a public dashboard to track progress and hold us accountable.

⛽ Orbán Viktor: Ukraine has been blocking the Druzhba pipeline for the last 30 days. We have defended ourselves, but further steps are needed. As long as there is no oil, gas supplies to Ukraine will be halted. Hungary’s energy security and protected prices will be maintained.

The rent is too damn high in San Francisco. Prices are going up 15% year over year. A one bedroom averaging $3500 a month. This month I'll be introducing an affordability package at the Board of Supervisors. Legislation that will both make it easier to build more housing for new renters to live in, as well as advance rental transparency and eviction protections to make it easier for existing renters to stay here. Follow along in the weeks ahead as we announce each piece of legislation.

Parivartan in Bengal is welcome as long as laws are implemented equally and fairly for all citizens. The desire to “tight karo” any one particular group cannot be the basis of government policy.

Something must be done about the cost of rent crisis in America American lives in the Midwest, where prices are supposed to be reasonable He got an eviction notice on his apartment, it’s $1,800 per month He makes minimum wage, it’s only $7.25 an hour… “What is wrong with Wisconsin prices? Why have they all of a sudden surged? The Midwest was supposed to be a place of peace, of stability. You could get a freaking house here for like under $200K, and now prices have gone through the roof. This is absurd. What is going on?” He has to reply on tips to pay his rent, and after bills he has nothing left Let’s look into Midwest rent price data Average 1-bedroom rent: Around $1,300 statewide, but $1,800+ is common in Milwaukee and other larger cities People priced out of California, New York, Illinois and more are moving to the Midwest for “affordability,” increasing demand Places like Milwaukee are now at a 94% occupancy rate, the fact that there are no units available has skyrocketed prices But another big reason… Corporate landlords and private equity have bought up tons of properties We can’t continue like this

Can triple digit silver prices last for long? Jeffrey Christian of CPM Group (CPM Group) says the supply and demand dynamics make it unlikely as more silver comes to market over the long term. There are billions of ounces in known silver reserves, with hundreds of millions of ounces already moving toward production. At prices above $100, new supply becomes highly profitable, and when supply expands, prices don’t stay extreme for long:

When I introduced the HOME Act, I said homes are for people, not corporations. Now, key parts of that work are moving forward in the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. This legislation cracks down on Wall Street landlords, gives renters a way to report problems, reinvests penalties back into affordable housing, and holds bad actors accountable. This will be a major step forward for Nevada families.
