Robert Reich Shakes Tiny Fist at 'Sky-Rocketing Rent,' Trips Over Own Letter FIGHTING Affordable Housing

Oh good, Robert Reich is babbling on a video and drawing pictures again, this time he's blaming Wall Street for skyrocketing rent and people struggling to buy homes. You'd think with a history like his Bob would be more careful and even mindful about bringing up housing ... since you know, he fought to stop affordable housing in his wealthy neighborhood.

It's true.

Hey, don't take our word for it, check this out:

As we said up there, Reich has some history with affordable housing.

Blocking it, that is.

Rent is skyrocketing and home buying is out of reach for millions. One big reason why? Rich homeowners like Robert Reich keep blocking new multifamily housing in their affluent neighborhoods. Let me explain. 👇 https://t.co/cMA73yfIEk pic.twitter.com/eQi4gb1MWG

Oopsie.

The problem is coming from inside the (multimillion dollar Berkeley craftsman) house here, Bob

Yeah, Bob.

My favorite part of this video is that Reich himself even acknowledges that there's a huge supply shortage, and we need more homes!

But his solution is, of course, blaming wall street. Much easier to do, emotionally, than looking in the mirror.

That's what Reich and other Democrats (especially Clintonites!) do - get rich and then pretend it's other rich people who are the problem.

“More houses, but not where I live.”

Robert Reich was already among my least favorite people.

He is fighting hard to be first on that list. https://t.co/NThGXMtwkL
