The root cause is primarily housing policy. Let developers build many apartments, and let them build small apartments. Zoning laws that make it a years-long process to just get a permit, or that force developers to build apartments with minimum square footage, or prevent large families living in a "small" apartment - these are all luxury laws forced upon poor people so that rich people can be more comfortable. I count myself as progressive but am almost disgusted by how many progressives try to muddy the water here because they don't like to face the fact that they have to give something up to make their neighbourhood more accessible to those who are well-off people. Anyone who doesn't take housing policy seriously on the issue of homelessness is either naive, or doesn't actually care about the issue and instead is trying to use it to push some other agenda. |
