Yeah. Fuck it. Let’s blame immigrants. Any ol’ port in a storm to avoid acknowledging the role of commodified housing and bipartisan neoliberalism for forty fuckin years amirite?

Supply and demand mean nothing in the market unless someone can use them as an excuse to price gouge. That goes dou ly for housing. Build hundreds of new units every month and rents still don’t fall, because landleeches know that “every seller in the market wants too much, I’ll do without until prices fall” isn’t a valid choice for housing.

I read earlier today about a study that showed rents have gone down in areas that ICE has targeted.

Go ahead and drop a link to that study here, we’ll all disembowel it for you and have a good laugh at how gullible you’d have to be to attribute it to fewer immigrants and not to the massive loss in desireability for a neighborhood where masked secret police are disappearing neighbors in the middle of the night.
