I feel hands down the quickest way to change affordable housing is majority elimination of housing as a speculative asset. Would need to address value adjustment for non-commercial (like upside down mortgages), but value is artificially elevated.
Would this Step 1 supercharge "Housing First"?

Along with this would partial elimination of utilizing housing as a speculative asset further supercharge affordability? I would assume streamlining makes it easy to make more housing but without complementary policies preventing use as investment, you could still have an affordability issue, right?

2024:
UK energy sector avg profit margin: +23%
Increase % of energy prices: +2.8%
So.. shift public funds from a program that reduces long-term energy costs and demand (benefiting citizens and the climate) to one that provides short-term bill pay that maintains/increases profit for energy sector?

Let's be honest, this swap is a lifeline to help Milei's re-election.
