If you are a newbie to economics and need help to understand what the good Professor is talking about, I urge you to read Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic ) who will break it down for you without economic mumbo-jumbo. I guarantee that the light bulb will tilt above your head and you’ll wonder: If it is that simple and equitable and safe to resolve our housing issue, Why aren’t politicians doing it? A good question, and one you should take at your next opportunity to the ballot box.

The solutions put forward look worthy of investigation and being widely debated.

(EDIT: After reading "economic explanations" I missed "Show more" so didn't see the Doctorow link to an easier presentation. The following may be extraneous.)
And diverse ways of communicating the solutions need to be developed.
Not everyone is prepared to engage in cave diving, nor in reading economic explanations of finer points.
