This statement is neither of those things, because it is only pretending to be a response to a housing shortage.

I work full time on zoning reform but go off.

This is my politics.

what about housing redistribution?

If there's 8 cans of corn and 10 people need corn but a rich person has hoarded 2 cans, redistribution will help a little but doesn't address the core problem that there's not actually enough corn for everyone. And no, a can of expired corn 1,000 miles away won't help the situation.

I agree

That's the second option! You're suggesting the second option!

how do you figure that?

You cannot redistribute your way out of a shortage. You need to make more of the stuff you need.

apologies, I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were simply referring to the shortage of housing accessible to people, not physical shortage. obviously for the latter you need to actually build more, but that on its own won’t make sure everyone can afford a good one
