America was great when Americans cared for each other and the New Deal, by Roosevelt and the Democrats, helped narrow the inequality between the rich and poor.
MAGAts don’t understand this.

Ah yes, the Tankie-Nimby zombie myth that California already has enough homes if not for the evil capitalists hoarders at Blackrock. Note that 25,000 housing units is around 1% of the total housing supply in the SD metro area; i.e. about the number of empty homes we would expect just due to normal turnover and renovations.
Did you look at my link?
These numbers are not referring to temporarily vacant homes that are in between buyers, but longer term vacancies, often held by investment firms. From the article:
These homes can sit abandoned for years, causing neighbourhood blight and increased crime, in addition to removing opportunities from people who need housing.
Yes, it’s an uncaring capitalist thing, and no, it’s not a NIMBY thing – quite the opposite. The neighbourhoods with these homes would be far better off with residents than simply letting these homes rot .
Without even clicking I knew what the links would be, because they are the same ones that always get posted. And because this is a zombie myth, it doesn’t matter how many times they get debunked people still post them anyway. Your United Way “Study” is especially silly; for example it claims more than 25% of San Francisco housing units are vacant which is obviously not true.
Okay, how about actually presenting data to support your argument rather than just ‘nuh-uh’ and vague aspersions?
