Here's what the liberal media propaganda machine will never report. In 1986 lower end housing was so affordable in Oregon you could purchase a home on the federal minimum wage. That was the year liberal democrats outlawed affordable housing through high density planning knowing this would create a dependence on the welfare state.
high density planning is based on the social engineering formula of forcing X amount of homes per acre at Y value to achieve Z desired property tax revenue. Affordable starter homes do not meet Y value and were taken off the market. Through new adopted inflationary codes that forced nothing but overkill design, and McMansions, Y value was achieved.
From 1944-1986 lower end housing had gained $0 in costs in 42 years in a free market. From 1987-1999 in an XYZ molested market this same housing was up a whopping 300%-500% in historic housing inflation.
This is specifically why Oregon went from leading the nation in affordable housing to #1 in homelessness and the #1 user in food stamps. Democrats will not tolerate affordable housing being built, and will only allow Section 8 development where they can shamelessly exploit the poor for vote.
Liberalism is a social disease.
