Everyone should be able to afford their rent and have money left over -- to save up and buy a home, or for whatever they are working toward.
Private investors buying up residences and jacking up rates beyond what most folks can afford is exploitative and needs to stop. Housing is a human right and no one should be living in the street, in the woods, or in their car because they can't find affordable housing. We need to also incentivize home-buying for first-time home buyers and folks looking to move into homes that meet their changing needs. |
