You're right to mention how interconnected it all is.
- Tenant rights helps to prevent evictions, discrimination, and to ensure good maintenance.
- Vacancy taxes ensures that landlords can't artificially shrink supply to raise prices and increase values, and to prevent capital strike.
- Public housing creates competition that lowers prices for renters.
- Appropriate volume of supply makes sure that everyone is housed in a basic sense. But only if it is the right kind of supply
- If any of these categories are off they impact the others
I see lots of people rush to say that supply is the problem but you have to consider how market forces act upon the supply. "Luxury" developments don't help most people. And as you said it has to be the right density too. In my city more than 10% of units are vacant at any time. Thats at least 20,000 units. This is why I want vacancy taxes so much. Zoning needs to be improved, and its worth new construction to do so. But in most US cities, idk about Australia, vacancy taxes would be enough increase in supply on their own.
Its also super important to mention the ramifications are commercial zoning. Vacancy taxes are even more important there. Commercial landlords are all holding out for a big chain to move in so they can jack up prices. Its why there are so few niche stores in US cities nowadays.
I'm ok with very high density zoning if its paired with expansions to mass transit. But generally speaking row housing and 3-4 story apartment buildings are the bread and butter. However any current city dominated by single family detached housing needs serious changes, seriously quickly. In those situations "spikey" development is worth it.
I would love to see vacancy taxes in my city. Its the only way of countering the assetization of housing. People are more concerned about the value of the property than revenue. So they keep rent high to make the property look good. Vacancy taxes are the only thing that solve this directly.
Public housing can make rent more affordable and improve housing security. For people living in the public housing as well as those in the private properties that are now in competition with the public sector.
But only vacancy taxes can reign in property investment firms hoping for profit from appreciation rather than revenue. With vacancy taxes they have to actually provide a product and not just hold onto land.
lmao theres literally a movie about someone from the south being stranded in the north

It's kinda funny to me that anywhere in france could be considered the sticks. You can't go 5km without some kind of a town or village. Relative to apalachia or the rockies it may as well be manhattan.
I always thought it was corsica. What part of the north? More towards brittany or Lille? Or normandy more specifically?
We hate out cops dont we folks 
that is so cool! I'd love to try typing with it. I doubt I would want to commit to it though.
lmao this is so dumb. Every campaign promise in every democracy is a bribe then?
I used to use proton until I saw them give info for a warrant. After that I gave up on the VPN thing. If I lived in a country with limited streaming options I might use them but
