Chicago’s Radical Solution to End Homelessness

More Americans are now homeless than ever on record. But one city has proposed what could be a groundbreaking solution in the homelessness crisis.

Chicago wants to tax the rich to fund affordable housing.

Their plan would raise the real estate transfer tax on million dollar homes, and lower it for everyone else.

Then they would use that money to help solve the city’s urgent homelessness crisis.
