ok realizing this needs to be said because not everyone knows:
building affordable housing is a red herring. a scam. a multilevel marketing scheme.
there is far more housing than there are people. you would think housing is expensive because the supply is too low and the demand too high. we’re taught to believe in the ‘law of supply and demand’ but that’s invariably a gross simplification.
real estate is always a great investment because land is a fundamentally finite resource, and fundamentally necessary for life. most investments tend to fluctuate, to increase and decline in value, but real estate almost always increases, and often at far higher rates than ‘the market’ at large offers.
so what does this mean? it means that there are many times more vacant homes than there are homeless people. it means buying a home and renting it for more than the mortgage while the equity only grows is an incredible investment. heck buying a home and not renting it is still a great investment. SO no matter how many homes you build, ‘affordable’ or not, they will be bought up and hoarded by the rich and housing will remain unaffordable for everyone else.
The constructed 6 new affordable housing houses in our neighborhood and before they were even done being built a corporation bought all of them. They are now for rent at obscene prices. Like. Double what even a steep mortgage would cost per month.
This system is not working as intended.
the system is working exactly as intended
The purpose of a system is what it does. If you only ever get bad outcomes the system is meant to create bad outcomes. Its the good outcomes that are a failure of the system, because the system is designed to consume everything in the name of profit.
Let's not forget that in many cities, we already had perfectly fine housing; but the houses, apartments and shops were torn down to build roads, which ended up driving communities apart. Car and oil companies drive policy, not people.
What the previous people said is completely true; but I think we're missing the fact that instead of having bustling communities, the capitalist system we live in prioritizes profits, and if that means driving people apart, tearing down their communities and creating an asphalt wasteland, then it will be done.
Both of the following comparisons are in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.
And here are 2 articles about this issue, though both of these are from the US:
“Our categorical imperative is action to clear the slums,” Moses said in a 1959 speech. “We can’t let minorities dictate that this century-old chore will be put off another generation or finally abandoned.” Moses, who was also the chairman of the New York City Slum Clearance Committee, said that the highway construction must “go right through cities and not around them.” Two of the city’s main arteries he created, the Cross-Bronx and Brooklyn-Queens Expressways, did just that, cutting through the heart of the Bronx and Red Hook neighborhoods.
– How Interstate Highways Gutted Communities—and Reinforced Segregation from History.
The Smart Growth study estimates that the nation’s interstates displaced 475,000 households and over a million people in less than two decades. In D.C. alone, the building of Interstates 395 and 695 consumed more than 400 acres and displaced 23,500 people, most of them African Americans. It resulted in 1,400 housing units being destroyed, wiping out $483,000 in what would be average home equity if those homes existed today. The city lost the ability to tax approximately $1.4 billion in home value, costing it at least $7.6 million in property taxes per year.

Treat ‘future You’ as a different person, someone you really care about. Eg: Clean your desk for tomorrow, fill the coffee machine with water for the morning, have gym bag ready to go to make things more efficient.

Good evening sir!
Would you like to drop a morsel to ignite the Good Omens fan base? Dealer's choice.
Not really. I mean, you still have a long time until summer. The last thing I want to do is exhaust you all by telling you stuff now so by the time the show comes out you'll all be bitter and jaded.
I could make something up, though. Crowley wakes up at the beginning of episode 1 to find himself transformed into a giant cockroach, while a huge storm blows up and carries Aziraphale's bookshop off the Land of Oz....
Munchkins to Aziraphale: Are you a friend of Dorothy?
Aziraphale: Ah, well, I actually hear that question more than you'd think.
Which reminds me...
I heard this from Geoff Ryman. Geoff is not only one of the best writers out there but his novel WAS is the best Oz-related novel.
According to Geoff, "friend of Dorothy" -- a euphemism for Gay -- originally had nothing to do with The Wizard of Oz.
It came from the British theatrical world, and was a code
Actors going from town to town in the glory days of travelling theatre, would sometimes have nights off, and want to see things at other theatres. And there was an understanding that actors didn't pay for their seats. But you couldn't turn up at the box office and say "I'm an actor. Give me a free ticket." Apart from anything else, if someone hears, they could use it to get in for free too. So there was a code-phrase. The actor would say "I'm a friend of Dorothy's," and the box office person would say, smoothly, "Oh yes. Dorothy was by earlier and she left you a ticket. Here you go..."
And from there "Friend of Dorothy" became synonymous with actor, and then with Gay, when homosexuality in the UK was an imprisonable offence -- and then when The Wizard of Oz became popular, it gained new life and spread around the world.
