Imagine being so woke you think you know what every house rent price should be
housing is the most toxic market tho
the most anti consumer
Lets introduce a toxic and corrupt institution into the mix, that'll fix it
probably wont
but how does one even fix that?
housing is a 100% safe investment
the more you buy, the more power you have
then you can raise rent
and you will make more and more money from it
housing market makes the rich richer and the poor poorer
As free market as I am I geniunely don't know enough about housing issues other than artificially low interest rates and pretty high amounts of regulation for construction companies when it comes to getting building permits
And the issues with social housing
Oh and also tax incentives on owning houses vs profiting other ways, doesn't get capital gains taxed so more money flows into houses pushing up prices for people trying to get income from their money
im not that much of a free market person
im a center left nationalist
capitalism needs its regulation and limits to prevent it from ruining people
Government regulation hurts the lower classes the most
Who do you think benifits from those regulations and limits?
Big business
Small business cant afford it the big ones can
Just helps create "monopolies"
Also that's why big business has massive amounts of it's budget for lobbying so they can help change the law and regulation in it's favour against smaller competitors
it depends on the kind of regulation
Idk when it comes to regulation it's just a back door into government for big business to pay for favours.
That or another way for Government to take more money from the market in general
Pretty cynical of me but that's how I see it anyway
back door into gov for business - depends on how much lobbyism is accepted
Lobbyism is innate when government has power that businesses can use
true
Thats why I dont think the government should be involved in regulating markets like they do
I hear 'anal sunshine' and I think I'm not supposed to hear that
"Government regulation hurts the lower classes the most"

Last I saw, companies were dumping all kinds of harmful shit into people's drinking water to cut corners. It was the EPA not the free market that helped cut down on that.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau helps people get back money they earn when they are scammed by big banks.
These things were dealt with before EPA.
Citizens did have rights when their property was being damaged which did include pollution.
Like smog from factories getting on peoples laundry and sparks flying from train tracks which could have possibly lit hay bails
