@nancycomics Interesting that the lack of housing was enough of an issue that it featured in a syndicated, widely-seen cartoon strip. Once upon a time the federal government reacted in constructive ways to the need for housing. Unfortunately, racism and segregation created the negative idea people have about government housing projects.

The Victorian state government wants to redevelop the car park at Footscray Station into apartments.
This would be a great use of that land which is on a lovely street right next to the station and removing the car parking would improve the surrounding streets.

Raven's 10 Policy Platform for Good Governance in 2025, Independent of the Country:
1. Every citizen and documented immigrant should be guaranteed and be able to expect the government to do it's best to represent their needs and best interests as best as it possibly can to enable to maximum health, fulfillment, and enjoyment in life.
2. Universal Single Payer Healthcare, free at the point of service for all citizens and documented immigrants, and a buy in option for undocumented immigrants and visitors. (Basically Bernie Sander's Medicare For All Proposal)
3. Housing For All, make it free for all citizens and documented immigrants, and a right for them. Undocumented immigrants and visitors would need to pay for housing or seek temporary residence shelter status. (Closest to Cuba's housing model)
4. Free Public Transportation, free for all citizens and documented immigrants, undocumented immigrants and visitors can buy in, privatized and privatization of public transportation would be illegal.
5. Disabled Inclusion and Equity, Disabled citizens and documented immigrants have a right to self determination and independence so long as a group of 10 physicians and judge via a court ruling or criminal trial waiver as a result of insanity determine otherwise. Treatment of disabilities must be inline with best efforts and good faith to both improve the quality of the disabled citizen or documented immigrant's life and their health. Disabled citizens and documented immigrants who cannot provide the means of living for themselves will be cared for.
6. LGBTQ Rights, any number of people who can and do consent to a sexual, romantic, and/or marriage based relationship should have the right to do so and all the same amenities and legal affordances that any monogamous cisgendered heterosexual couple would have.
7. Free Universal Education, all education is free for citizens and documented immigrants: free tuition, free learning materials, free textbooks, and free basic needs. When you are a full time student, your job should be to learn. Getting into college and higher education is enough. This would ban the employment of students in full time attendance to any educational institution. Undocumented immigrants by being accepted to a specialty lower education institution or a higher educational institution of any type should be granted documentation and legal residency. Programs should be made to entice these immigrants to become citizens and stay after receiving their education.
8. Birth Right Citizenship, if you are born within a nation's borders, you should be entitled to citizenship of that nation.
9. Citizenship By Heritage, one ancestor of pure heritage or of citizenship of the land in the last 5 generations Can be done with birth records, adoption paperwork, or reputable DNA testing results.
10. Citizenship By Immigration & Assimilation, documented immigrants should be encouraged to assimilate, this should be done through free language courses and certifications and free culture courses and certifications. The formation of ethnic enclaves by immigrants should be fiercely discouraged, but families and friends must never be separated to achieve this goal. Voluntary sublimation of the immigrant population into the predominant and preexisting culture is the ultimate goal. Prospective immigrants without a criminal records and/or who are dodging the draft or oppression of any enemy nation and/or who are the victims of genocide(s) abroad, must be prioritized. Prospective immigrants personal finances should not matter in the immigration process. Becoming a documented immigrant should be simple and sensible and follow these guidelines.

The Advocate General has issued an opinion regarding the Danish ghetto policy. This is a hugely important case regarding direct discrimination by ethnicity, and the opinion from the Advocate General recognises this fact.
The policy is extremely harmful. Copying from the CJEU press release:
The Danish legislation on public housing distinguishes between several types of neighbourhoods with unfavourable socio-economic situations in terms of their levels of unemployment, crime, education, and income. The areas in which, in addition to an unfavourable socio-economic situation, the proportion of immigrants from non-Westerncountries and their descendants has exceeded 50% for the last five years have then been categorised as‘transformation areas’ (formerly known as ‘hard ghettos’). The law requires the public housing associations owning such areas to draw up a development plan setting out how the proportion of public housing units in thetransformation areas is to be reduced to 40% by 1 January 2030. This may include the sale of properties to private developers, demolition, or conversion of family housing into housing for young people. In such cases, the leases of the previous tenants must be terminated.
The Advocate General finds direct discrimination due to two issues: first, "the legislation puts those tenants in a precarious position in relation to security of their right to a home, thus resulting in their less favourable treatment in comparison to tenants of other neighbourhoods in a comparable situation, in which the majority of the population is of ‘Western’ origin". And second: "the ethnic criterion used by Danish legislation stigmatises the ethnic group whose structural disadvantage in their ability to integrate into Danish society was recognised, thus curtailing rather than enhancing their chances to integrate into that society".

The Grand Rapids' 2025 legislative agenda has four goals related to housing.
- Removing barriers to density and reducing housing costs
- Authorizing local governments to allocate greater funding to Affordable hosuing
- Incentivize the construction of Accessory Dwelling Unit
- Allow single family residential to participate in PACE.
How far will any of these move forward in Lansing's divided government?

Thinking about the devastation of homes and lives in LA County today. Listening to those who have lost EVERYTHING. Their history, possessions and way.
I hope that the future holds the concept of "losing everything" as a factor in policymaking regarding two issues: homeowner insurance companies and local housing eviction laws and regulations. The insurance industry's greed in both housing and health must be addressed.
