I'm not sure we even get that option. Nationally, neither party has showed much interest in loosening housing regulations. Everyone is a NIMBY at the end of the day.

Yes, one of them has. The Government is too big. Too many agencies.

Look, most of the "clean" properties are gone. What is left has issues. Floodplain, wetlands, poor soils, etc.

I've had projects where over 45 permits were required, from 25-30 agencies, at the Federal, State, County and Local levels.

And the agencies don't talk to each other. They make comments that contradict the other.

Developers can't sit on land forever through the process, so they walk and pay a premium for clean land.

Clean land costs 4-5 times more than land with issues. Do you know what that means?

The buyers pay for it. Unaffordable housing for most.

Less regulation. Vote for it.

Some regulation of labor is necessary. 

I don't mind OSHA, for example.

I don't mind green cards.

I do mind illegals who have no interest in becoming acclimated. Everyone should mind this.

All regulations started somewhere with some goal in mind. If "illegals" work hard and do a good job I think it is insane to try and regulate them away. In any event, not trying to start immigration debate part 5000. Building anything feels like a boondoggle, and loosening that up is a worthy goal.

Who's goal? Some unelected dickhead deadbeats in DC?

Look, the Clean Water Act (passed by Congress in 1987, Reagan signed) was and is a good thing.

But so much has been tacked on over the years by the dickhead deadbeats, it's unreal.

It reminds me of flying during Covid. The flight attendant announced that it was "Federal Law" to wear a mask. I did get up a bit later to ask her when Congress passed that "law" and when it was signed. She was confused, like so many other sheep.

Regulations are NOT laws. Regulations are made by dickhead deadbeats.

My idea is to piggyback on "van life" and give homeless people a VW bus that is outfitted with a bed in the back and give them a monthly gas card (or they could be electric).
Buy abandoned lots as 'park-n-live' areas for them to have a home base.  These would have a water source and bathrooms/showers.

Hardy-har-har, OAM, you're nuts.  I know, it's just a crazy idea, but it does address some things.

1 - it gets them off the streets
2 - it allows them to be mobile - autonomy, hope, options
3 - provides a much cheaper, climate-controlled living quarter

They'd be able to go to job interviews.  Visit family that may be able to help.  Hell, they could go park in rural areas if they want.  If/when they get back on their feet, they have a payment plan.  Or you could say they only get it for a year.
The point is, it would seriously help out several major problems at once.  It's just an idea.

I like it. Well done, OAM.

Feels like a start, but one big downside is a lot of these folks probably represent a danger behind the wheel. 

But the vibe is in the right place. 

There are thousands upon thousands of FEMA trailers that are sitting unused right now, in fields being rented by FEMA. These housed people after Hurricane Ian.

How about some dickhead deadbeat from HUD talks to some dickhead deadbeat at FEMA?

Yeah... right.
