Anti-progressive policies are why housing is an investment instead of a right. If true progressives were voted into power then landlords would be taxed out of existence and housing would be affordable for everyone again.
Instead centralists want to make it easier for people to get on the "ladder" and then continue to let the prices frow infinitely, kickin the can down the road until someone realizes basic community functions can't escalate in price infinitely without doing more harm. Conservatives want something even worse, they want to protect commercial investors such that rent grows higher every year and renters have less rights.
