I would like to escalate the issue of an ongoing edit war on the "Positions on Housing" section. User snoogansnoogans has repeatedly reverted my edits to make the section sound more politically neutral. I am willing to offer a consensus with other editors to either a) remove the section on housing altogether, or b) agree to remove the inaccurate statements from snoogansnoogans and any of my own revisions that appear politically slanted and involve an informed third party editor. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Inna12724|Inna12724]] ([[User talk:Inna12724#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Inna12724|contribs]]) 12:49, 4 May 2022 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Edit war over "Positions on Housing."
I would like to escalate the issue of an ongoing edit war on the "Positions on Housing" section. User snoogansnoogans has repeatedly reverted my edits to make the section sound more politically neutral. I am willing to offer a consensus with other editors to either a) remove the section on housing altogether, or b) agree to remove the inaccurate statements from snoogansnoogans and any of my own revisions that appear politically slanted and involve an informed third party editor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inna12724 (talk • contribs) 12:49, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
