Right? I was going to say, "why is a 12 year old in charge of affordable housing?"

being a committee MEMBER, he's not "in charge" of anything but part of a group. This does bring into sharp contrast the effectiveness of said groups across the country. it's a bureaucratic bullshit that doesn't actually accomplish anything.

So I see a bunch of asshats who would rather makes jokes than actually discuss the (important!) topic. Cool

The greedy landlords are leveraging immigration to increase their wealth. Immigration has made the landlords $3.7 trillion richer in the past 10 years. https://www.newamericaneconomy.org/housingmap/

I am not sure what can be done.

Jokes are sometimes a way of discussing important topics. Sometimes by pointing out the absurdity of the situation or simply providing an opening from which discussion can proceed. Given that the Onion does that very thing, you shouldn't expect there to not be jokes in this sub. If you think a joke is lame, feel free to suggest how it could be made more respectful/funnier/whatever. Either you will improve the quality or you will piss off the teller by being a bossy know it all. Either one seems like it would be a win from your perspective.
