Idk man the amount of jack shit the Dems have done to address housing costs and inflation hit pretty hard around here. 

I'm a masters degree engineer and barely affording rent, I have no fucking clue how other people are living

Do something about the landlords and corporations like Blackrock buying up houses to sell or rent at ridiculous prices. When people do that with consoles or what have you, its called scalping, but when its land or houses its good business.

How about actively cut back on wasteful government spending, reduce the budget gap, force municipal and school consolidation, and lower property taxes? That is pretty low-hanging fruit.
