It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

For anyone curious about the Harris housing plan: https://nhc.org/the-harris-walz-housing-plan-detailed-serious-and-impactful/
It includes:
Tax breaks for builders
Different tax breaks for builders
Up to $25k for first time home buyers who have not missed rent in the last two years. Also sounds like it might be limited to 1 million buyers a year
Funds for local govt to distribute to non profits/housing services
Deregulation ("cutting red tape and bureaucracy")
Remove tax benefits for corporations that buy single family homes to rent
Some vague "rent control" that isn't
Come the fuck on. What in the hell kind of means tested bullshit is this?
sounds designed in a laboratory to crush tenant strikes
Maoist means tested bullshit according to
How the fuck would they even enforce this? Ask your landlord?
So funneling money to local government jobs stacked with friends and relatives of the DNC? What else is new?
Damn, that's so radical! No wonder everyone's calling her a communist.
Is that really the shit that republicans froth at the mouth over?
Yes. They froth at literally anything, then the dems attempt to "triangulate" (IE attract fascist voters, which doesn't work anymore, if it ever did) and move further right to compensate, which then lets the GOP go even furtherer to the right in reaction. This is fairly common knowledge even among liberals, but they don't think a better world is possible.
This shit sucks lmao
Wait are we actually encouraging this specifically right now? Even libs know its contributing to the housing crisis.
that's penalizing it, though, unless I'm misunderstanding something?
Well it seems she's proposing removing the benefit, so not exactly penalizing but no longer encouraging (she won't actually do anything of the sort)
