It includes:
Tax breaks for builders
Different tax breaks for builders
Up to $25k for first time home buyers who have not missed rent in the last two years. Also sounds like it might be limited to 1 million buyers a year
Funds for local govt to distribute to non profits/housing services
Deregulation ("cutting red tape and bureaucracy")
Remove tax benefits for corporations that buy single family homes to rent
Some vague "rent control" that isn't
who have not missed rent in the last two years
Come the fuck on. What in the hell kind of means tested bullshit is this?
sounds designed in a laboratory to crush tenant strikes
Maoist means tested bullshit according to
How the fuck would they even enforce this? Ask your landlord?
So funneling money to local government jobs stacked with friends and relatives of the DNC? What else is new?
Damn, that's so radical! No wonder everyone's calling her a communist.
Is that really the shit that republicans froth at the mouth over?
Is that really the shit that republicans froth at the mouth over?
Yes. They froth at literally anything, then the dems attempt to "triangulate" (IE attract fascist voters, which doesn't work anymore, if it ever did) and move further right to compensate, which then lets the GOP go even furtherer to the right in reaction. This is fairly common knowledge even among liberals, but they don't think a better world is possible.
This shit sucks lmao
Remove tax benefits for corporations that buy single family homes to rent
Wait are we actually encouraging this specifically right now? Even libs know its contributing to the housing crisis.
that's penalizing it, though, unless I'm misunderstanding something?
Well it seems she's proposing removing the benefit, so not exactly penalizing but no longer encouraging (she won't actually do anything of the sort)
