The solution to the housing crisis isn’t difficult or unknown and our govts (CA also having one) can afford to try fixes until something works.
The issue is the stranglehold that the upper class holds us in. We’ll keep getting trickle down “fixes” until the sun burns out.
I’m sure a solution, to divest the wealthy of their power in a way that is both fair and nonviolent exists, but to pretend that is a realistic pathway is… Naïve.
The unhoused die every day, but we don’t treat that as the fault of the class that controls the housing?
Lots of things in human society only occur because some people include “and we’re willing to fight you to the death over this”, and that can’t be a bluff.
Bad things happen because bad people hasten to that end. When good people are willing to fight to the death for good things, they’re playing catch up.
But it’s true. If people like this asshole started getting clapped left and right they might start rethinking their position on things. Or at least keep a lower profile. They have the entire structure of society rigged in their favor and we are rapidly approaching the point where violence will be the only means for normal people to change anything to their favor (assuming we’re not already there) clutching pearls every time someone mentions it won’t change that. Thousands of people are already dying because of assholes like him, it just doesn’t get as much attention because dying from homelessness or lack of healthcare isn’t as flashy as being gunned down in the street.

The exploitation class hates this one simple trick!
i really hate to carry water for a landlord, but “someone should kill this guy” really is the laziest form of commentary

sure. you put a lot more effort into this comment than the one i replied to. i didn’t say it was wrong, just lazy.
The fact that a solution is simple doesn’t mean that it’s lazy.
Fair enough, carry on

i don’t think anonymous lemmy comments count as putting your money where your mouth is?
