the argument is not against building housing and never has been. It's about keeping existing affordable housing and its residents protected and leveraging the private market to build public alternatives, while building the democratic power of marginalized groups to have a say.

playing defense, redistribution, and deeply changing the structure of power over what gets built and where has IMO not been given its due by the build baby build crowd but without that we do not get the kind of housing we need. that's the long and short of it

Kim-Mai CutlerVerified account @kimmaicutlerEvery time someone says this, I have to remind people that the far more probable outcome is we become Palo Alto, where home prices rose *$700,000* in the last year alone from $2.6M to $3.3M than us ushering in 1920s Red Vienna style social housing. https://twitter.com/gibsopi/status/1004401551949979648 …Show this thread2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

Ok well, I’ve been here awhile, and I’ve seen many tenant activists come and go at this point. Unless they own, they generally stay for a couple years, become really good organizers and leaders for awhile and then they leave.

So I’m like let’s do all of the above aggressively. Large affordable housing funding, changes to CH and large amounts of building. But every time we fight each other, those who own the land always win.

That was because their numbers don’t really work based on coastal CA’s conditions. Rents would not be able to fully pay off production costs of a public housing unit even for a middle income household. There’d still be a $300K/unit financing gap in SF for a $80-90K household.

Isn't this just because of high land prices?
