I'm sorry, Stacey, I had to quit less than five minutes in. I lived this nightmare after I became disabled and we had to sell our house. We were homeless for 19 months, staying first with a cat-sympathetic acquaintance in Colorado, then coming home to Florida to live in a friend's bedroom - both times patronized, shamed, and almost treated like criminals. We moved into a real 2-bedroom apartment with another person who turned out to be abusive. At the moment, my husband's hours have been cut, and we're living on my SSDI. Rent takes up half that payment, to say nothing of the borrowing and the financial shenanigans and hoops we had to jump through to get into this place. I will never fear anything as much as I fear becoming homeless again.

Instead of building more (and wasting more resources), let's do an inventory of all houses and buildings that currently remain vacant at least 50% of the time, then find out what it would take to make it affordable housing, both for purchase & rental. Most people would be horrified at the vacant houses and buildings everywhere!

I’ve lived in Brooklyn for the past 30+ years. Huge swaths of beautiful brownstones have been demolished to build revenue generators like the Barclays Center. What kills me is the push to “build” affordable housing rather than money to maintain, restore and/or protect our existing neighborhoods. Studies have confirmed that “new housing developments” are alienating and have little to no sense of community. Townhouses, brownstones are much more likely to create community. Developers declare entire city blocks of neglected homes “blighted” and this begins the checkmate game of their second action, declare the blighted homes “condemned.” Once condemned, most cities have “eminent domain” laws that allow them to evict tenants and then demolish the neighborhood and install sports arenas or build condos or co ops. The travesty is played out over & over and over in every city and town. I loathe hearing politicians commit to “new affordable housing” The biggest cause of homelessness has come from totally lax renters protections. People on fixed incomes are told their rent will be doubled at the next lease renewal. Rather than push back on these landlords or write legislation that hems in those increase spikes, politicians promise to build new warehouses. I loathe the myopia of this issue.

A few weeks ago the DOJ brought a lawsuit against a software company called RealPage. This company is a revenue enhancement AI software that most large real-estate companies purchased to help set rent pricing. The company gathered proprietary data from all of its customers and shared it with its other customers via an algorithm essentially creating a monopoly. There was no competition. Stacy, could you also do a follow up report on this? Thanks!

Affordable housing is possible for people who rent if they can buy instead. Buyers accumulate $ paid over interest, gain a nest egg, and care about the home more than if they rent. So much better if folks can buy instead of rent.

Cars are a necessity as well. Repairs are difficult to maintain. Taking the public transpotation make transporting your packages cumbersom. Laundry care is expensive too. Homelessness should be illegal. Nobody should go with out housing period. You cannot manage your life without a home. You cant manage your health, from the foods you should eat to stay healthy to taking the meds you need and getting regular schedule of exercise. When homeless you lack access to a toilet and shower. You lack proper bed for adequate sleep. All this effects mental health and exaserbates any mental health issue you have in addition to sny physical health problem you have.

Well, it is a monologue. Even Seth Meyers has Wally holding cue cards during his. Ms. Abrams is a busy woman, mostly spending a lot of time saving Democracy as we know it. Instead of expecting perfection from women, especially Black women, how about extending a little grace. Not everyone has time to memorize, and sometimes, when you do, it sounds canned. I listened while I was working, so I paid more attention to the messaging, rather than focusing on delivery. Perhaps, try it that way.

I love Miss Stacy but I live in Public Housing for the disabled and elderly. So my rent can be no more than 3O% of my Social Security check. So paying a third of your income in rent doesn't sound that high to me. Wouldn't a third of one's income be 33.3 percent? I always thought that paying 3O% of your income in rent was the ideal? When did it change? 💙

When the cost of other things went up so much poorer folks cannot use the same figures that always existed and have it be fair. Figures that may very well work for higher income folks don't work well for those lower on the cash ladder. Like flat rate taxes harm the poor more in a similar way. Right now when someone gets a social security increase they take a third to half of that increase out of any EBT bennies they may be getting. So wrong! So wealthier SS recipients do much better than the poor since they get the full COLA. Without subsidized housing it's even worse for the very poor when they try that old 30% figure.

i wonder if renters who've lived in the same apartment after a set period of time should become a partial owner of the building. that would encourage people to not move. there would always be room for people to rent annually. i remember the days of moving every year, typical for 20somethings. but i think people who have lived more than 7 years in the same place have invested and helped pay the mortgage and taxes of the building, they have earned partial ownership of the building, or its equity. remember, landlords do NOT pay the mortgage or taxes, the renters do. but the renters get no benefit of the equity of the building. landlords basically manage the finances of the building. they put money in up front, but after they have renters, the rent is covering mortgage, taxes, maintenance and profit. also a co-op model could be workable as well.
@JaneyC-ic1fw
3 күн бұрын
I should add it would be a benefit for landlords because it would attract stable renters, people willing to stay put, so a dependable source of income. renters would be more invested to maintain and improve the building if they know they will get real money in the future.
