Spitballing Steps for Immediate USA #HousingReform:

1) Convert all multifamily housing to public housing w/o comp.

2) Limit 2 single-family houses per household & 0 per business entity. All others offered to tenants 1st, then auctioned

3) Steep, financially unworkable penalties for private landlording

Digging into the reasons & implications:

Multifamily housing, by its nature, isn't for use by a single set of tenants. It either can be shared, or one owner can build equity at the expense of the other(s). Public ownership is the simplest solution, but co-ops could be considered in some cases.

Limiting single-family ownership to households and barring business ownership of them would immediately liberate enormous amounts of housing which, by its nature, is intended for a single set of tenants.

Some households could have legitimate personal uses for owning more than one SFH. Putting conditions & restrictions on the 2nd SFH would help to ensure that it cannot be used purely for financial gain. These include point three, abolition of private landlording, as well as additional penalties for allowing the property to sit vacant and other financial disincentives.

All single-family housing in excess of these ownership restrictions would first be offered to any existing tenants, with credit given for previously paid rent. Housing which tenants do not wish to purchase would then be sold at public auction

This would bring huge change, followed by add'l measures

I hate all the "like and subscribe" CTAs on YouTube, even when they try some cutesy variation on the phrase. But Oh The Urbanity's call to "bike and subscribe" caught me so off-guard that I actually did, for what may be the first time in my life. They got a laugh out of me and they're encouraging biking.

Plus, it's a great video showcasing the benefits of #HousingReform. I trust this settles the question of whether housing development is good.

#dearai I would like a model that takes all the endless data about "the housing market", _including_ the pictures and comments and "socials" about the property and predicts the sale price.

And #disrupt the #gatekeeping somehow hopefully.

Just a friendly reminder that tenancy laws changed heavily in favour of tenants in Victoria as of July 2020. I see a lot of factually incorrect posts online that talk about renters's rights in national terms.

The law varies massively between states. But in Vic, now, tenants have rights closer to those of tenants in Germany than NSW.

You can have pets, hang photos and even make changes to the property as long as you do not negatively impact the value of the rental property.

We are still in the period where REAs and Landlords are trying to take advantage of tenants who are not across these changes. And as a result VCAT is backed up something fierce.

But if you're renting in VIC, and something doesn't seem right, contact the tenant's union and get advice. You have more rights nowadays than you know. I've leveraged the new regs multiple times already. One of the best aspects is that if the landlord/REA decides to carry out some sort of retribution for you exercising your rights, that is punishable as well with compensation paid to the tenant.

So don't be afraid to reach out if you are experiencing harrassment or dodgy behaviour from your landlord or REA if you're in Victoria.
