Notes -
I recently read this article, which seems to have awoken some latent bleeding heart in me. As a result, it’s got me thinking about wealth redistribution, whence the following questions:
I understand that this post betrays a real naïveté in both economic knowledge and worldly experience— so I’ll admit that I’m a decent bit embarrassed about making it, but I figure that a Small-Scale Question Sunday thread is the best place to ask this.
"Increase housing stock? I'm afraid not. Best we can do is subsidize lower income renting. Too bad greedy landlords keep increasing rent."
The greedy landlords are the ones that are stopping more housing from being built.
The other non-landlord 93%+ of the population could vote in more housing. But they don't.
Fair point! They’re being convinced though.
