I always found this funny, because housing is required for all of us but tenants rights is controversial where as all the incentives we give to builders / owners / landlords isn’t questioned nearly the same. Perhaps we should adjust those incentives more instead to align with tenants and occupancy home owners and stop treating everything about housing as investments

The thirty year fixed mortgage has been a disaster for the housing market.

Also, the thirty year fixed mortgage has been a boon for the housing market and several generations who 'got in early'.

Just like school loans.

Automobile loans.

Etc.
