One pollster sees “flashing red” signs on youth turnout as Gen Z and millennial voters, who are not satisfied with either party, could again play a decisive role in the next election.
Yes. All he has to do is tie federal aid to states and cities/towns to density/zoning requirements.
My state passed a law two years ago that citys/towns that have public transit stops must have minimum density requirements around those transit stops… or they get zero state aid for their budgets anymore. The law was pushed by the governor primarily.
Guess what happened? every city/town that has those stops (except like two super wealthy ones who are suing the state over the law, because they don’t want the horrible ‘poors’ who only make 100k/yr moving there) is building 100s to 1000s of new units of housing.
It is really that simple.
The sad thing is the USA is full of brilliant people who can fix our country and make it great. We know what the policy solutions are and that they work. We simply lack the political will make those changes because our politicians are lazy, stupid, and cowardly, and so our most of our voters.
everyone lost their shit in my state when the govt pushed it. then he campaigned and he convinced the legislators and he got the votes. It took years. it was controversial, it’s still controversial. lots of old shithead people regularly protest the new housing, but guess what? state money talks a lot louder to cities/towns than a bunch of angry old people.
The role of the president is to coerce and push congress to codify his agenda. If he can’t do that he’s not doing his job.
But you’d rather make excuses for him than hold him accountable.
I’m sorry but you’re being very disingenuous if you think any number of Republicans would go for what you are asking, and you blame Biden because of it

lol, what a joke, you think he even has the authority to do that? and do you realize the absolute shitshow of a right wing wave we’d have if he tried?
it’s his fucking job to do that.

Yeah, votes, so he can’t do it
