I personally don't think politicians should listen to morons and assholes, even if they do make up more than 50% of your population. The reason we vote for people instead of policies is because it's better to have decisions made by people who actually know what they're doing. People who want the housing crisis to continue are actually completely braindead. Most of them aren't even voting in their own best interests. All they know is "big number good", they don't understand or care about how brain drain, increasing crime and suicide rates, worsening inequality and creating a transient generation with no sense of home will effect our country or their own children's future. Letting parasitic landlords dictate policy is like letting leeches decide what to do with blood donations, just because there are more of them.
