We need the Rent Is Too Damn High guy to be in high political office to get this shit under control.

Eh, McMillan is a republican who endorsed Trump. We don’t need him.

What we need is more housing, and that means looser zoning, which means fighting the NIMBYs. I would love to see mixed zoning become a more common thing in the US (and everywhere TBH).
