America's corporate-driven housing crisis in 2023 amidst a glut of empty offices
For a few days I was actually holding out hope that the conversion of office space into housing space might actually be the solution that America needs
America’s housing/banking/economic problems have consequences internationally, as we saw with the 2008 American housing-banking collapse that had major impacts in other regions (especially Europe) for tens of millions of people.
I try—with very little success—to avoid thinking about America’s social-political problems because, on the whole, America does not appear to want to solve these problems.
Need cash for a fake pandemic? Here’s 2 TRILLION DOLLARS!
Need technology for a manufactured crisis? Here’s a solution within 1-2 years!
Need health clinics and modern mass transit? Here’s a sports stadium with a retractable roof, instead!
Need a solution to the corporate-fueled housing crisis that is leaving hundreds of thousands of Americans on the street? All they talk about are problems as if they can’t retrofit old offices with something as basic as plumbing—tubes to carry water.
Plandemic destabilization/unemployment = vulture capitalism buying homes from distressed tenants to drive up prices by ~40% within 3 years
Bogus government-corporate plandemic responses forced people into unemployment, making their houses available for vulture profiteers to buy these homes and put them back on the market at ~40% higher costs.

If you’ve traveled within the USA over the past 2 years, then you must have noted the free-fall collapse of most major American cities, the downtown centers of which are now essentially ghost towns.
At the same time, office closures lead to a glut of empty offices, which could be converted into the needed lower-cost housing (watch the discussion on this exemplified in the video below); however, this conversation is mostly stagnant as if we are pretending that these buildings can’t be repurposed.

As such, big corporations are driving the problem of higher housing costs, and those same for-profit corporations are supposed to provide a solution? This is impossible given that the same drive of as-much-profit-as-possible-without-any-social-concern is the paradigm driving these decisions and terms.
For a few days I was actually holding out hope that the conversion of office space into housing space might actually be the solution that America needs; but again if it's going to be driven by corporate profiteering without any regard at all for the human customers then it's going to be doomed to fail because the prices will again be at maximum levels.
