No one should get a second home until everyone's had their first.

Except for the first one, each next home should be taxed exponentially higher.

All homes should be taxed based on land value rather than property value.

Based on your negative votes I don't think Lemmy is a huge fan of Georgism. Which sucks because Mr.Beat had a great video on it.

Progress and Poverty.

Some people are more capable of getting and repaying loans than others. Some people are more competent at home repair and maintenance than others. We should allow small rental organizations to facilitate living in an area for less than a 10 year period.

We don't want to end up like China where everybody has a home but nobody lives in them because they're all in different districts than where people live and work.

But yes, I agree homelessness can be almost completely erradicated if we move some funding allocation around.

i’d probably go second… it’s useful to have a housing surplus that’s financed by private entities so that you can have a house while working for your first house

but anything more than providing shelter with some small reward to encourage civic responsibility (ie building houses rather than owning stock) is complete idiocy
