Political education is so necessary for activism! The architects of project 2025 are out there bragging about it because they want their base mobilized. A response might emphasize the importance of, say, state or doj not being staffed by Jan 6 attendees

I agree. However if your housing is all owned privately and developed privately your entire housing market is based on extracting profit on every step. And it’s in the interest of the owners and developers to keep the prices high
