Housing and medicine is largely a political decision with little relation to environmental concerns. The political party that favours deregulation is the same one that wants to keep private health care.

Food is slightly different, judging by the rates of obesity people can afford more than they need.

Which political party is for a universal healthcare system? The largest political party with universal health care on their platform is the Green party.

This is the current DNC platform. There are zero mentions of a universal / single payer / socialized healthcare system.

There are four mentions of "healthcare" it refers to maintaining the ACA (which is a bad law), making a more integrated health care system in the US territories (Guam, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, etc.), climate law which will improve health care nebulously, and a vague statement about the supreme court hurting healthcare decisions (which is just a statement about them supporting the murder of babies).

The political party that wants socialized medicine is the one stacked with NIMBYs and blocking construction of housing.

		Which political party wants socialized medicine? I'd like to join it, I say this as a current democratic party operative. Current democratic party is currently a pro-corporate pro-deregulation party, basically Reaganites from 80s.

		NIMBYism is more of a socio-economic class than it is associated with a political ideology.

		Rich, older homeowners tend to be NIMBYs. It's a true bipartisan effort.
