I sure hope they throw a few dollars to the people in Port Orchard affected by December’s tornado. My MIL is still in a hotel.
Guilted Age Industrialists would have built the housing they needed
Or, and hear me out here.... we could do this by implementing some sort of mandatory payment system on corporations and the wealthy, in which they owe a share of their income to the government out of social obligation, and then use that much larger investment to pay for housing
Making money available to buy houses will not drive prices down.
Housing is expensive because people who don’t live and work in the market are buying property. Period
This would be nice to inject into an Opportunityzonefund! QOZ
So, they're gonna give a million people a one time payment of $500, or...
Better than nothing
Here’s an idea MSFT and all the other tech biggies. Move. Spread out. Decentralize. Your HQs crowd urban centers like Seattle and SF relying on public support for infrastructure and transit. Move to Spokane, Eugene, Sacramento, where homes are affordable and workers can thrive.
If you look at it closely - beyond the headlines - Microsoft’s $500M housing investment is actually a $25M grant plus $275M in loans. They will profit from this via interest payments, even recouping the cost of the realatiey small grant.
theyre giving out half a billion dollars in LOANS. theyre not helping, theyre just making people go into debt lmao
u gonna make a house out of computers wtf
Is homelessness an issue of lack of affordable housing? Or lack of the institutions that used to house them? And the rights afforded to those formerly institutionalized to be free and unmedicated?
BradSmi Hey Brad, that’s all fine and good but when I was living in Redmond, Microsoft took over apartments in my building and our rent skyrocketed at lease renewal due to it. Do you realize 27 families left one complex because of you guys?
There's enough money there for everyone to have a home. We can use 3D Printers to build these houses for cheap. There really is no excuse.
Wow, that’s like six Seattle condos
Let me guess, they'll pay for the windows...
Great example
Umm climate change?
