RCL Introduction

The answer to ending the modern day housing crisis is not simple, yet many advocates argue that there are effective and obvious steps that may bring the US closer to ending the crisis than many think. One of the largest tools used by modern political activists is the visual language that fills the internet and social media in the modern day. This has led to the creation of many different political posters which are deployed in the continued fight for public support of the unhoused community. Through understanding and comparing two of these posters, a better understanding of the strengths and flaws of the movement can be revealed. The first poster this essay will analyze uses an aggressive visual language to produce a feeling of discomfort that echoes the social discomfort and pain produced by the modern program of sweeping unhoused people. The second poster uses a warped visual focus to create a sense of infinite space that creates a powerful visual contrast between the modern unhoused community and the military industrial complex. The two political posters this essay will analyze advocate for separate policy approaches that when combined lay a groundwork for a cohesive approach to modern housing policy.
