6. It's more than that

We need to create a new social standard. Not to go all Bernie Sanders, but when we've got the income disparity we have, affordability is going to be a problem. You can't just jail everyone who wanted to make a shit ton of money that contributed to this by paying their employees lesser, but legal amounts while making millions/billions. Are you going to jail everyone in California who has gone NIMBY on not building condos because the American dream is a single family house with a picket fence not a condo that is making housing unaffordable? It's not just Republicans that have contributed to our affordability crisis.
