There is a profound irony in arguing that the financialized housing system is doing a great job of solving the housing crisis—if, of course, you ignore the global financial crisis caused by… wait for it— the financialized housing system.
Claims like this look compelling until you look at the dates they are providing (depths of the Great Recession until a housing peak), their lack of sources, etc. Instead, here's a rent growth chart from @UrbanTurf_DC which is NOT inflation adjusted (meaning rents are even lower)

Being a YIMBY means ignoring the reality that a substantial portion of the global economy depends on deeply inflated housing costs continuing in perpetuity—and instead blaming their local civic association for the global housing crisis.

The fishermen targeted for summary execution by the CIA had been boarded, searched, and cleared by the Ecuadorian coast guard earlier in the day. But the Americans' garbage AI drone technology decided for some unknown reason that they were drug traffickers who had to die.
⚡️NEW from Drop Site: U.S.-Registered Drone Detected at Site of Suspected CIA Boat Strike A drone registered to U.S. defense contractor Shield AI flew within 500 meters of Ecuadorian fishing boat hours after attack, according to flight data.

The Trump admin sent FBI agents to subpoena NY Times freelancer Matthew Cole for his sources Cole exposed a sickening US war crime in which Navy SEALs massacred North Korean fishermen after they were caught planting a surveillance device The SEALs punctured the fishermen's lungs to make sure they would sink and not be found Trump authorized the failed raid in 2019 ahead of talks with Kim Jong-Un, and with the goal of spying on the North Korean leader Cole happens to be publishing a book about Jared Kushner's web of financial corruption Do you see what's happening here?

Hoy el gobierno emite una nueva orden de aprehensión en mi contra, acusándome de supuestos delitos de terrorismo y alzamiento armado. Buscan responsabilizarnos de las movilizaciones sociales para ocultar el verdadero drama que vive Bolivia: una profunda crisis económica y social, fruto de un modelo que ha abandonado al pueblo y protege la corrupción. Nuestra posición siempre ha sido clara: estamos del lado de quienes sufren el ajuste, la escasez de combustible, el alza del costo de vida, la inseguridad y el avance del narcotráfico. Con procesos y persecución política no resolverán los problemas que ellos mismos han provocado; solo intentan desviar la atención con un nuevo titular. No nos van a intimidar. Seguiremos luchando junto al pueblo, como lo hemos hecho siempre, con la convicción de que Bolivia merece un camino distinto: el de la dignidad, la soberanía, la justicia social y la recuperación de la esperanza para todas y todos.
