America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.
President Trump will issue a plan next week for letting Americans tap their 401(k)s for a down payment on a home, a senior White House official said Friday.

ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."

One of the lasting impacts of reading the Great Gatsby in high school and again in college is the the enduring wisdom that having money means nothing without love and meaning.
I'm not a very spiritual person, but it strikes me the soullessness in which our oligarchy operates.

The curse of great wealth is that slowly your money comes to own you, not vice versa. California's billionaires are demonstrating this to everyone.

About 20 people protested the death of Minnesota woman Renee Good by immigration officials at the Albuquerque ICE field office.
Two people were detained, an ICE agent used pepper spray and the protest was declared an “illegal assembly” and people were ordered to disperse or face arrest.

Solidarity matters. We will win.
A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.
