Imagine thinking rents are set by landlords "imagining numbers".
I feel compelled to pull out the funkopops longpost for this.

@cjd @kybermace @elftummy Was all on board until the very end.
Clearly these people DON'T know what best to do with it, or they wouldn't be trying to assign retarded 3rd worlders to handle their project and inevitably fuck it up.

Would be more innovators if so many people weren't forever priced out of property and material by malicious speculators of a certain kind.

Real estate is a de-facto slavery system.
There is no reason on earth why a box to live in needs to cost $1000/month or more, this is entirely a case of artificial scarcity in order to lock everyone into a mortgage that they'll be paying the rest of their lives.
Central banks do this in order to force someone to defend the value of their money supply, so they can print money for their friends without causing instant and violent inflation.

Yeah Rent/Morgage/Property tax. Its all blood sucking that prevents people having a solid foundation to weather hard times and build up generational wealth.

Artificial scarcity to push prices to the moon so that everyone needs a massive mortgage. The banks can print the mortgage money so for them it's just numbers on a spreadsheet. Printing 1/2 million dollars makes sense if you're going to get 1mn$ in the end.
They use building codes, zoning, and violent criminals to make sure that any place that is livable is so in-demand that you need 200k for even a cardboard box.
This is part of why they import violent criminals. Rising crime in high density areas helps them because it makes more areas unlivable.
They also import cheap labor to "combat inflation" by ensuring there's always someone willing to work for $10/hr even when $10 is worth 5 cents in 1900 money.

This is also why if you were ever to build a high density city and you actually kept The Usual Suspects OUT, you would get sued immediately.
It's because you're creating a supply glut and that's messing up the slave trade.

They were never going to make any actual impact, but they got attacked because they are inspirational to others.
There are many ways to make very nice cities *without* explicitly excluding blacks, but when you do this, someone will suddenly pop up and want to put a giant section8 building right in the middle of it and populate it with ONLY people straight out of maximum security prison. There's a reason why they do this...

The best answer to this, IMO, is when someone does criminal bullshit, you send the police & court bill to the owner of the building where they live.
This will instantly make it uneconomical to maliciously dump gangsters and druggies into someone's city. But if you were to write this law, expect to be defending it in the supreme court because the goblins are gonna treat it like The Last Battle.

Aye, many ideal solutions could be imposed if we could push any laws at all through "our" courts.

That one I mentioned has a pretty good chance of working because it follows established legal norms. The arguments against it are gonna be a lot of "disproportionate impact" type whining, which these days nobody has time for that anymore.

That's the aim of RTTL. Have all the land in private ownership so you don't have random, anonymous benefactors block busting the community

@cjd @dassauerkraut @RaHoWaJoe @kybermace RTTL isn't trying to make cities their plan is much much smaller
I won't speak ill of them because of our professional differences; I'm happy for them and glad they're doing something
Their budget is very shoestring so I encourage people to donate

@dassauerkraut @cjd @RaHoWaJoe @kybermace They're being hit with lawsuits relating to securities. I've spoken to them & their lawyers - they aren't worried about it.

Last I heard the law suite was over racial exclusion, that's a different angle. Guess they jew's didn't have much to work with on the surface of it?
