Housing is a survival issue and should be a priority concern for government. Regulation is essential as well as creative solutions to empower citizen ownership of residence.

Workers earning minimum wage and less than a livable wage cannot generate enough, no matter what they do, to provide themselves with a home and other essentials they need to survive on their own in many cases. And if you want people working, you don’t want them exhausted, desperate, and stressed.

People who are unable to work for various reasons deserve a home, too.

Literally every assertion he makes is demonstrably false.
