Affordable housing (as implemented in Boston)

[tomh009]

Or just...pay people more money for what they do. That tends to work a heck of a lot better than expecting our dominant political parties to solve any of the issues THEY create.

If we pay everyone 20% more tomorrow, you can bet that things will cost 20% more as well. So, that doesn't work.

If we can reduce income inequality, that DOES work for improving affordability. But how does one make that happen at private companies? Of course, the government can reduce the after-tax income inequality by adjusting the progressive income tax rates, but that, too, tends to produce howls of protest.
