Here's the thing: imagine if we fixed the housing market, so that the price of housing only increased to match inflation. That would be great, right? Except, homeowners typically spend $2000-$10000 per year on maintenance. So homeownership would go from an investment to an endless money pit, just like renting. The idea of a house as an investment, a house as a way to build wealth, requires that housing prices increase faster than inflation forever, which means that the burden of housing costs on working people must keep increasing forever, and the number of homeless people must keep increasing forever.

The housing crisis isn't just a result of greedy landlords and investors. It's an inevitable result of social policies that encourage people to treat their houses as in investment. Because once a homeowner internalizes the idea that their financial future depends on housing prices going up, they start favoring policies (such as NIMBYism) that make housing prices go up.

Conversely, if we want to end homelessness for good, we need to accept that housing is someone we'll all have to continuously pour resources into, because buildings are complex physical objects that break a lot.

Not going to drag on about it - I am relieved, nervous, distrusting, but choosing to let myself feel a little bit of hope. Labor presents a lukewarm alternative to the Liberals (Australia’s republican party) but the size of the incoming crossbench means that, in order to achieve anything, they’ll have to negotiate with all the “alternatives” that got in thanks to both major parties’ total failure to acknowledge reality.

I am here to see my country single-handedly getting dragged out of shit creek by Greens, Independents, and women in politics.

My sole exception to the “incremental change is better than no change, we have to work within the system first” is climate stuff and that’s solely because I kinda don’t think people realize how fucked we are, like as a species

#glad we have progressed to climate change and ecological collapse being real and acknowledged outside whackadoodles #but I'm not sure people quite grasp the timelines we're working with #we have like #5 years #10 max maybe #before we can't fix it #we gotta get rid of all of it like tomorrow or there won't be a new world to rebuild in #climate #leftposting #doomerism yes but also realistic

just saw aye for scotland's face for the first time. why is he scottish travis mcelroy?

#red said #i unfollowed him a couple of years back partly bc he was kind of shitty about an interaction with my sibling and their then partner #mostly bc that was a tipping point for finding this specific flavour of didactic leftposting I'm The Most Left And Everyone Else Is Idiots #debate streamer white dude everything i do is leftist bc i do it and disagreers just don't understand the Working Class Experience vibe #but tbf like he still does useful posts about Scottish politics his posting just super rubs me up the wrong way #idk apparently I've just decided to go in on this random guy. sorry. that's shitty of me.

Sometimes you gotta ask yourself when you see a pithy leftpost. Is there an actionable solution? Is that poster suggesting one? If not, does this person seem like they want to find a solution? Do they seem like they want to work towards a solution?

If there's no given solution and no desire to find one then that poster is more than likely just being a contrarian dick and doesn't actually want to do anything except doompost to show how smart they think they are and subsequently they are, frankly, not worth your time.

#inb4: my proposed solution is ignoring the tryhards that don't actually want a solution until they grow tf up #they are the leftist equivalent of a goth slam poet in high school that thinks they're so deep for saying everyones a poser

I feel like "easier said than done Joe! That's 12 seats you're asking for" would have been a perfectly acceptable criticism, but that would be admitting to knowing how the US government works which is antithetical to LeftPosting on Tweet.

#also you wouldn't be implying you can't do math for the sake of an epic twitter own

alright enough leftposting, time to draw

I'm not a full pacifist but I find the level of bloodthirstiness behind a lot of LeftPosting to be kinda horrible
