Me neither. It is because of comments like this that I don't downvote people. The signal is too vague. I can report from the front that this is a surprisingly polarising comment; the early score is all over the place.

Just in case the sibling theory is correct ... Contextualising to the US I would have thought it uncontroversial to say that a schizophrenic Bush-Obama-Trump-Biden producing system is not one you want controlling your house. Because that is what politics is. At least half that group should concern any reader, ideally 4 for 4 for people who are more interested in results than intentions.

Bush-Obama-Trump-Biden systems has almost 0 impact on what my city/county/state decide to do about housing. I don’t what the feds controlling my housing and they do not.

If you take the national out of nationalisation that is an improvement. Then shove a "personal" in and we're at a good spot.

We want more people to have control over their own home, not less. I'm accepting of the fact that I live in someone else's house and it isn't my choice if I'm here in 12 months - but it is hardly an ideal state of being.

And pretending national politics isn't a big driver of what happens locally is a bit naive. Sticking to the US, the federal government is 20% of the economy. Most other first world countries are probably similar ballpark. That has a huge influence on everyone.
