YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The US housing crisis isn’t natural — it’s the result of decades of policy decisions made to benefit landlords and the wealthy. Today, millions of Americans are being squeezed by rising rents, home prices, and zoning laws designed to limit affordable housing. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

In this video, we break down how rent control, public housing, and zoning reform can actually solve the crisis — and show how cities like Vienna and Helsinki already do it. From New York to Los Angeles, tenants are fighting back and winning. And now there’s a bold plan in Congress to bring social housing nationwide. Zohran Mamdani might have the chance to do the same in New York City.
