No, that’s not really aligned with politics. Maybe democrats though.
Comment on Can't afford California housing? Try living in a tiny sleeping pod. All 4 feet of it

Aren’t conservatives all about innovation? Or maybe just libertarians?

Something can be both innovative and retarded at the same time. Just look at every government weapons development program. Lots of extremely innovative stuff. Innovative stuff that’s over the top, expensive, and logistically infeasible. Like, I seriously doubt that pod living is the solution anyone actually wanted, rather than a bandaid fix to a larger issue.

Yeah, like all free market solutions. Because free market solutions aren’t designed to solve problems; rather, they’re necessarily designed to extract value from customers (or however you’d like to phrase making people pay for things).
Imagine a private weapons development program: not that much innovative stuff that’s cost-effective and very efficient and funnels money into the hands of amoral CEOs who have no problem being the scourge of the earth. Way better, right?

Lmao if you genuinely believe the housing market there is anything resembling free, you’re just divorced from reality

If you genuinely believe any market is free, then you’re further removed from reality than you think I am.

A free market leads to lobbying the government for barriers to entry which creates monopolies.
Landlords intentionally turned it from a “free market” to the shit show we have today.
