In SF, progressive politicians are typically pro-tenant but anti-housing, particularly market-rate housing.... But on Nov. 6, East Bay voters displayed a strong preference for their own type of progressive: candidates who are both pro-tenant & pro-housing.https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/pro-tenant-and-pro-housing/Content?oid=22700236 …

I don't think most of the people working on Prop 10, who witnessed incredible gut-wrenching accelerating displacement, have any remaining interest in the favor of a group of folks who felt comfortable enough to wait for Costa-Hawkins repeal for a more convenient season.

nor is it plausible to suggest that the candidate that benefitted from a great deal of landlord/realtor money is "pro-tenant" or "pro-housing" in any sense that might meaningfully promote economic justice.

and, i know you've been told this before, but the demand to repeal Costa-Hawkins is one that has been fought for by the entire tenant movement, and ACCE is the one getting firebombed, so you can't dismiss it as a problem of one shady Jew.
