For those of us who have had a front row seat to some of Walz’s machinations and political decision-making in Minnesota for the past several years, reconciling the current media narrative around Walz with what we’ve seen with our own eyes has been disorienting.
Tim Walz originally decided to run for office as a Democrat after being denied entry to a George W. Bush rally in 2004. He flipped a longtime red Congressional District in 2006, and then proceeded to be one of the most conservative Democrats in the U.S. Congress, ironically aligning himself with many of the Bush Administration policies. He had an ‘A’ rating from the NRA, voted for the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline, supported the big agriculture industry, and was obviously pro-military after serving in the Minnesota National Guard for 24 years.
Housing is a human right. Social housing for all.
Yeah I could see socialized rental housing. I think socialized rental with individual privatized ownership of things like Single Family/Townhouse Homes would work. Cheap housing for rentals while you save to buy a home.
Home ownership is an important part of building wealth in America, so unless there is a radical shift or we go significantly more socialist in many categories, it’ll still be necessary for individuals to be able to buy a home.
