I believe in private property rights and do not believe vacant homes should be bought by the government, even to pursue a noble social agenda. The point to bear in mind is that the goal of the housing market is to maximize revenues for developers and landlords.

Unfortunately, we do not have the economic rights that are greatly needed in this time of rising economic inequality. One of those rights is the ability to freely associate with your coworkers in order to bargain with your employer for better pay and working conditions. I’m part of the national labor movement that is seeking to amend our Constitution to guarantee people the right to join a union. Learn more
