Too bad the government doesn't take in enough money to enforce existing rules about that sort of thing.

And districts receive both state, and federal, funding as well.
The money is there. It is mismanaged, and the steps needed to fix the districts won't be taken.
And I've argued before that money isn't the primary resource needed for teaching children, anyway. They need a quiet room that doesn't leak when it rains. If the kids are there to learn, and the teachers are there to teach, and administration there to support the process, everything would work.

This and it's indisputable.
Failed school administrators switch cities more often than Catholic priests.

Listen, I'm on your side with the whole "earn your way there" thing, but you lose me if you think houses are priced correctly. Especially with interest rates being where they are compared to where they had been recently.

Varies by location, but lots of rules in many areas constraining housing construction. San Francisco is often cited as an example for this.

Step 2: end the practice of businesses (and China) buying up everything as rentals.
Step 3: stop the flood of new people over the border adding to housing pressure.

Ok. I'm in total agreement.
Make it illegal for foreign powers to own homes aside from ones they provide to staff (registered with the government) that work here.
As for corporations...
-Banks are excluded from rules for obvious reasons, but they should have some limit on how long they can keep a house off the market (Maybe? Catt, would that be unfair to them? Would they care?)
-Houses should be off the market as investment assets, ala what Blackrock has been doing.
-AirBnB and their ilk should be limited to a certain number of houses. I have no idea how that would look, but I'm thinking it would need to be controlled on a city by city basis. Resort cities should probably allow a higher percentage than say, Detroit.
Related question: We see lots of stories on the news about stupid squatter laws hurting the average citizen, but Blackrock owns a shitton of houses. If they're vacant, why aren't people moving into them?
