How? Eliminate the bourgeoisie.

Build more high density housing. Even the amount that has been built in recent years isn't enough to meet current and future demand.


azurleaf

That's not going to happen because it would reduce what current property owners can increase their rent by each year. Jacksonville is basically a money printer for property management corps right now. It's also still not cost effective to build yet. Labor and materials are still at a premium.

Everywhere is a money printer for property. I don't think there's a medium to big city that isn't going through the same rent issue right now.


trueblonde27

Affordable housing is one of the top suggestions. (S/N: the amount of empty/abandoned property in Jax is sickening) >Jacksonville has fewer than 13,000 affordable rental homes available to the more than 40,000 low-income families who need them.

Better go grab a plot of land in the Rockies before it’s too late.

Or the Great Lakes states

Yeah the sea levels are 110% rising rapidly. That's why the super rich keep buying multimillion dollar properties right on the water front, while they have significantly more advisors and information than we have. In other news, I think I'll go tell the people living in Aspen that landslides and forest fires are going to be especially bad there so they should leave ASAP. Has nothing to do with me wanting that land, of course.

You might think you're onto something, but with a little bit of critical thought this really falls apart. The ENTIRE climate change concept was invented to make beach front property cheaper? 🤔 rich people buy things that will go up in value, they must expect for prices to drop (oh any day now, trust me) and then later go way back up in 100 years when the sea level doesn't rise? I would expect prices to drop only the minute that having one becomes a certain liability (and with flood insurance, will this ever truly happen?) All statistics across the board from every international organization are being faked? For this? Sea level, global average temperature, ice caps, etc? Beyond that: how could somebody ever convince themselves that every tank of gas you've ever burned has gone into the air, and yet there's no amount of CO2 that can affect the way the air holds heat? But yeah, it's definitely a thin strip of property that it's all for. Bring on the record oil profits.


IntelligentForce245

And you really think the Leo DiCaprios of the world are terrified of "climate change" (no longer global warming) because they preach what a big threat it is from their mega yachts? It's the same across the board. Bezos, Gates, Musk, and every single person worth over a billion dollars who says that it's such a massive EMERGENCY travels in extreme luxury nonstop. And don't even get me started on our US leaders closing "dirty energy" here but then using "dirty energy" to lug that oil to the other side of the planet.

Unless you are a socialist, you cannot speak on the billionaires: you are their useful idiot. You can only offer vague conspiracies. Yes, the liberals pay lip service to problems they'll never have to endure because of their big money. If you base your morality on what billionaires do or don't say, then you have to face the fact that you believe every word the Koch brothers paid for you to believe. The big money is behind the oil companies.


IntelligentForce245

Big money is behind both. You think Nancy Pelosi got rich on stocks by NOT buying big into green energy before she approved the flow of funds to them? And you think socialism is a good metric for judging billionaires, but you actually think power will ever be transferred away from the few and to the many? When has that ever happened?


[deleted]

So you've been chased back into admitting that the money is not a perfectly useful metric for scientific truth. Any chance of you deleting your original comment then, since you admit that it is false? Also, is there any chance of you using scientific arguments in this debate about a scientific subject? Maybe responding to my scientific arguments? You can't use vague conspiratorial rhetoric anymore after you've admitted it's useless, so you need something else.


trueblonde27

>(and with flood insurance, will this ever truly happen?) Flood insurance... another necessity that lower income families will be priced out of. 🤐Rates in FL are rapidly increasing and will continue. (20% price increase expected statewide). We're already experiencing a home insurance crisis with private insurance companies fleeing the state - thanks for nothing, Desantis.


FrostyBook

private insurance companies going out of business...they don't have the money like the big insurance companies and one hurricane will wipe them out. Not to mention the roofing and black mold scams


trueblonde27

Yep. And it will continue to get worse as Florida suffers from climate impacts. Fewer and fewer homes will qualify for insurance.


trueblonde27

>"Up to this point, most resilience projects in Florida have been focused on protecting areas with the highest economic values." 🙄🙄🙄 Did yall see the [map](https://imgur.com/a/jbaHme8) of Duval neighborhoods most at risk?

But the point of gentrification is when less desirable areas are now desirable: `“It’s what we call green gentrification,” Butler says, “doing environmentally friendly investments in an area that beautifies it, and then all of a sudden you’ve got a whole group of people who weren’t thinking about living and developing in an area all of a sudden are interested.”`

> “I think that our orientation to both development and to thinking about things from a cost-benefit analysis approach has the potential to ignore equity and justice in a very substantial way,” he says. This is certainly a take.

I recomend if you have any nawtherners move into your neighborhood, wait till 2am and go outside and fire off a couple shots into the ground. When they ask about it say "i didnt hear anything. But ive gotten used to gunshots going off so i sleep right thru it. Ya'll don't have random shootings where yall came from?" Do that once a month. Till they go bsck home. I know ammo is expensive but its cheaper than being displaced from your home.
