screaming about it as I have about state and local campaigns and elections. The corruption and greed in nation-wide housing should be addressed by Dems.

There are huge links to the lack of affordable housing and crime, employment of skilled workers, quality education, tax structure etc.

When people have homes they can afford with the jobs they are able to work, they pay taxes, take care of their property, build safer communities, and live in neighborhoods of low or no crimes. When housing is unaffordable, families have to double up, their is no pride of ownership, parents with multiple jobs are absent more, crime rises, schools suffer, etc. We can do better if we help families to live better.
