"let's ban building houses so no one can pay rent, then we only give permits to apartment complexes with affordable rent set by the government so we sound good" genius, democracy at it's best

we could also just let anyone build so rents are <$1k for everyone, but then we'd also have to throw shit at "greedy companies" so i guess we have to ban free markets and have everyone pay $3k instead, can't have winners in this world you know
