Gov. Gavin Newsom of California threatened to redirect funding from counties that fail to reduce homelessness in their communities during a visit to Pacoima following his controversial order for state agencies to remove encampments.
Nah, I’m with Num10ck. There are more than enough houses with existing infrastructure to utilities. Putting up more homes is wasteful and adds carbon into the air.
The state has the power to levy a heavy vacancy tax on unoccupied spaces. I think thats the best route to getting people housed.

Oh I also agree we need to tax unoccupied housing. On a sliding scale too since there are land barons rampant in our nation.
This would force real estate companies to fill homes that costs them loads to keep empty. Instantly increasing supply and thus cost of rent goes down.
Oh OK I must have misunderstood you. I’m all about rent stabilizing and taxing the rich.
Carry on.
I wasn’t clear. Edited an also for clarification.
