This week, Briahna convened an all-star panel of guests to break down the economic and philosophical roots of the housing crisis, and how to solve it. Rebecca Parson, a candidate for Washington's 6th congressional district, brings her personal experiences with homelessness to bear, along with observations from her district, while Canadian attorney and Global Director of THE SHIFT housing initiative, Leilani Farha, offers a global perspective. Finally, sociologist, anthropologist Dr. Dan Souleles joins from Copenhagen to apply his work on financial capitalism, and the role private equity has played in the housing market. The conversation spans the practical to the philosophical, and only deepens as it progresses. Stick around till the end, and join Briahna on Callin later this evening to discuss.

Can we have just the audio file?

I hope Rebecca Parson would seriously consider running as an independent, Green, or another left anti-capitalist political party. Her running as a Democrat is a hard line I cannot abdicate given the Democratic Party's ability to co-opt or marginalize any candidate who intends to "pull the Democratic Party to the left."

We ("western civilization") have determined that no matter how lucrative for the rentier class, slavery is immoral and therefore we have outlawed it. The same arguement applies to the literal rentier class - no matter how lucrative human misery can be made to be, causing and perpetuating it should be outlawed. 2% return or even 3% return not enought for you on your rental properties? You're in the wrong business - rental real estate is not for you. Get a job.

Very interesting discussion! The empty houses are a low-hanging fruit for the Federal Government and wise State Governments. There is no excuse for people dying on the streets when there are empty houses in some cases a few metres away! However homelessness is not just about unaffordable housing. It is also influenced by substance abuse, domestic abuse, mental illness, etc. Unfortunately, as one-party blue states like California show, Liberals prefer to bury their heads in the sand on these issues by focusing on other matters they blame for the housing crisis like gentrification and racism. The corporations and non-profit organizations that were described in the discussion are given billions of taxpayer dollars to build housing that ends up not being affordable. The worst part is that these organizations are not held accountable by the legislators because they are major contributors to political campaigns. Michael Shellenberger wrote a great book San Fransicko which delves deep into the mess in San Francisco.

I'm living on Social Sec. I researched it and moved to Tijuana to a relative safe neighborhood. $250 rent and $10 elect and $10 water/sewer/garbage and $25 fiber internet. Downside is petty crime, dust, dogs, smelly river.

Imho, safe, hygienic, shanty towns are the international solution. And they would naturally lower housing prices and raise wages.
