It’s easy to blame the other side. And for many Democrats, it’s obvious that Republicans are thwarting progress toward a more equal society.But what happens ...
Yeah, they call out all the problems at least and aren't trying to say all is well. They're right that zoning and property tax based education are dumb and there needs to be a larger, more centralized tool for distributing resources.
The biggest issue is that they won't extend that solution to production and the economy as a whole. They instead want to focus on housing and education alone.
Still nice to see something at least pointing out liberal hypocrisy in one of the largest liberal papers on the planet.
I think the primary issue with this video is that they bring up the rate of home construction and not the underlying issue of home distribution and marketized housing.
They do point out the fact that the NIMBY types in wealthy suburbs have mateiral interests counter to the rest of us though. Specifically in keeping their property value up by minimizing utility of land and creating housing scarcity in areas with high productivity.
You raise really good points, I absolutely got a bit fooled by them putting out something that looked progressive on the surface, but is clearly hiding some deep neoliberal ideas.

They don't have a say over the video title, the title of this video and it's accompanying article have changed like 4 times in the past 2 days.
