Housing

Oh my, I am softening my stance against Rent Control...Oh dear, what is happening to me?

I want everyone to have a home, simply that. I think that our society can achieve that desire. Why not? I want to New Zealand twice in the past few years and you do not encounter "street people", or as my partner and I call them, "Outdoorsmen". There is an "added value tax", much like a sales tax that pays for the housing and services for those who have nothing and nowhere to call their own. We are the wealthiest country in the world, even with our deep recession. Our allocation of resources must be in question now, as more and more people are losing their homes. How can that be all right with us? It is no longer all right with me. Sliding into major change, I wish you all good.
