Dignity is great and all but it doesn’t make houses when there aren’t enough. That’s two different problems.
We are on about new ones.
If you won’t accept the most basic, basic, basic ideas about economics. Then yes congratulations you can’t be taught something. I wouldn’t be proud of that.
Having lived in Australia and New Zealand and spent time in Chicago. British houses are horseshit.
Don’t even need heating in standard UK temps if the building is insulated. Air to air heat pumps are amazing, induction is amazing, no issues with electric water heaters.
Living in fucking 1975. But everyone’s ideal is trying to upgrade to a 1850 wood burning stove. Buy a fucking heat pump and some insulation.
You really need to look into why those things are bad ideas because they seen like good ideas until you actually more than superficially look at them.
Especially rent control it is an awful, awful idea and leads to bad outcomes for everyone. But people refuse to learn about it and think it’s a good idea. Go look up some YouTube videos on what’s wrong with rent control. That will have comparisons to a lot of other things.
The problem is there isn’t enough housing. Stop housing from being rented doesn’t make more housing, it will actually make less.
The only actual good idea on that list is government building. But the issue governments have is the exact same issues as what companies have. Laws and NIMBY stop people from redeveloping areas that people live in or near. There just isn’t any more land to build on that’s available and with governments forcing population to increase and how everyone wants to live in big cities the issues gets worse and worst.
The solution lies in building more housing, nothing else. If there isn’t enough housing literally nothing makes more housing than building more housing or converting no other solution works.
Haha yea.
I hadn’t seen wasabi before so I always remembered it and wondered what wasabi tasted like.
What are you proposing then. Shoulder to shoulder includes everything that isn’t detached.
How would less dense housing be cheaper when you need to buy more land and land is the thing that is expensive? Never mind things like utilities, public transport, police etc.
Its more of an engineering frontier and that has always been advanced best with capitalism. Unfortunately nothing has come along that’s better.
You’re talking about keeping density low as a means to keep house prices low. It’s stupid.
NASA went private because they wanted to save money. Falcon 9 have achieved so much more than any government ever has. Shows how little you know about spacex or even space in general.
How much of american GDP went towards Apollo? How much is going to SpaceX?
NASA saved a fortune on SpaceX. Elon must be a genius then if he managed all this with no formal education. What a legend.
Starship is overdue so is SLS. It’s rocket science. No one said it was easy.
Again SpaceX is trying to do something that no one else is even trying. This year is just data collection. Also they have been slowed by government, but they would still be behind anyway.
You just can’t face or you are just ignorant to what Spacex has actually achieved. Go look it up.
What has Spacex achieved under Elon musk? Why did Nasa look for private businesses? What other car companies have made EV’s? How many exactly?
Oh wait you just hate him so nothing matters.
I think you will find some of the most high density housing in the world is very expensive. What are you even on about. Land is expensive. You think detached housing is the cheapest way to build houses? You’re out if your mind. Supply and demand. Locals could live in the houses if other people weren’t coming in and buying them. How many immigrants are living in these countries? Why dont you compare that to vacant housing? The vacant housing is only a big issue in undesirable locations and you need some anyway. Like I said LVT is the way forward. Solves this problem.
The market will built it normally, the government doesn’t allow them to.
If you really want to incentive building then you need a land value tax.
Need a Land value tax and the ability to build medium/high density housing.
Thanks for posting. Love seeing everyday astronauts enthusiasm.
SpaceX is such an amazing company. Sad people can’t see it because they are too interested in circle jerking their hate boner over Elon.
There isnt a ton sitting empty. Dome need to be empty obviously for people to move in and out and for renovation. But even that isn’t enough to satisfy demand.
Your plan is more housing restriction and let me guess the awful idea that is tent control? Neither of these prevent the issue of lack of supply. Thats where the solution lies.
Of course governments need to enforce building standards. Things like public transport and density.
But at the moment the government is the one stopping more housing, especially higher density. If you allowed business to build more houses they would.
Government spending do to what exactly?
I have no issue with government spending. If fact I think the government should buy all the land. That’s my proposal. But housing will be built more efficiently by the market. Governments are inefficient.
You’re an idiot. You’re not going to build that much in 1 year.
If you did have that much work being done in Barcelona money would flood in from elsewhere also. Especially the EU.
The industry in Spain is worth $206.4 billion per year. Money would be found.
I don’t see how and air to air heat pump wouldn’t work.
Insulation needs to be solved yes. But if you heating your house with gas verse electricity if the output is the same then the result is the same.
