Ouch. That hurts. We can and must push through the selfish greed that we have tolerated and even applauded for way too long. We can and must do better.
I don't know if I told you that my husband tried to come up with affordable housing solutions as part of his public work. Every time, the programs were corrupted by developers who demanded loopholes, made payments to avoid affordable unit requirements, or owners who didn't want their property values suppressed. It was maddening, because he could see all kinds of ways to make affordable housing. But capitalism always found a way to ruin it.

Our form of capitalism finds a way to ruin most solutions that benefit the masses.
