I remember the thread on here about a month ago that someone posted that basically said plots should be smaller to enable more housing builds and towns and cities shouldn’t limit the amount of new construction in their jurisdiction, and like every redditor was against this.

I know it’s easy to rag on the rich but I highly doubt your average home owning r/Maine redditor is a millionaire living in some enclave in Maine, yet they share these same views. “Not my backyard”.

I think the homeless rate reduction will ride the coat tails of what you mentioned, assuming we produce enough new housing. If we produce enough housing, landlords will be more willing to work with the homeless (and other distressed communities) in order to fill vacant units. Right now, landlords can be very particular about tenants since they have so many interested renters.
