> Even with remote work (which is being clawed back), this isn't stabilizing and there isn't enough housing (esp. affordably). It takes years before that much housing can be built, assuming we legalize it (YIMBY v NIMBY). We don't have a strong growing population without immigration so there is no future generation big enough in this economic Ponzi scheme.
So stop immigration, let the population contract, and the housing problem takes care of itself.
It'll take time for that many people to die off and free up housing, plus who will work the jobs? Who will buy the stuff?
We need more workers (record low unemployment in 2023), and more consumers (to generate more profits without more profit margins), and more tax payers (to cover fixed government costs).
We should basically open the borders, and enforce that those entering work fairly against Americans to keep them from driving down wages. This wouldn't be an issue if the business acted respectably.
