I would like some houses without people. Having a little surplus is usually a good thing. So like if some houses become unlivable, we have houses for the suddenly unhoused people.

Run it as a pet café. In the above-mentioned emergency, people can move in, but they have to foster the pets.

That part of things could be aimed a China. They have something like double the amount of housing their population needs. To someone in a country with out of control housing prices, that might sound like a good problem to have, but it’s still wasteful.

You aren’t allowed you move out of a home unless someone else is moving in. We can all create a chain like hermit crabs or those organ donations to help find more completed solutions. You know, I was being facetious but this would actually be doable…

Most people buy with a mortgage, so that is functionally exactly the situation they are in. Most property transactions are part of a chain, and if any link in that chain fails, the entire thing, which can be many links long, comes to a screeching halt and possibly collapses.

We’re literally doing that in capitalist countries. If I want to break my lease without finding a subletter, it would cost 10% of the median annual income.

Another reason to defend abortion access. GOP out, at every level!

(If you aren’t in the US, still vote to shut conservatives out, every election. They can’t be trusted, they’ll steal your rights.)

I obviously do. I am very much a voter. I am not sure if this is true, but it feels like more people vote here than in the US.
