Supercharged inequality: rich investors stifle budget. The current housing crisis isn’t a market failure—it’s the system working exactly as intended for those at the top. While wealthy investors use tax concessions like negative gearing to treat shelter as a high-yield asset, millions of people are being locked out of the basic right to a home. We need a fundamental shift that prioritizes people over portfolios and ends the policies that supercharge inequality.

In one email, a #Trump appointee at the Department of Housing & Urban Development [#HUD] described decades of #housing #discrimination cases as “artificial, arbitrary & unnecessary.”
In another, a career supervisor in the department’s Office of #FairHousing & #EqualOpportunity [#FHEO] objected to lawyers being reassigned to other offices; the supervisor was fired 6 days later for *insubordination*.

#FairHousing law used to protect #transgender ed people. Trump has reversed this (he's pretty much reversed all fair housing law.) This person had their door kicked in, their king sized bed removed, their #BirthCertificate and #SocialSecurityCard stolen among other important things.

This is a good documentary about how #racist housing policies in the past continue to effect us today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvY3Ok6YpbUThe current laws about critical race theory and laws prohibiting teachings that make people uncomfortable is because the effects of those US policies are so blatant.
#FairHousing was the hill that my father fought for in his lifetime. Unfortunately, many people still believe that their life and their wealth will be adversely affected if they live near black people.
