    There are enough empty houses in the US to give FOUR to every unhoused person. It is NOT a supply issue.

      For the third(?) time in this thread alone, houses in bumfuck nowhere don’t count! Real estate is local. Demand is local. Location is not fungible, and a house in the exurbs is not equivalent to one in a walkable urban neighborhood.

      You are not fucking entitled to pretend that housing shortages in cities don’t exist just because other houses exist in some shitty place nobody wants to be somewhere else!
