I represent the part of Berkeley where Chinese laundromats & African American dancehalls were essentially outlawed by discriminatory zoning practices. Our current land use policies directly descend from this legacy. We are initiating a conversation to confront these inequities.https://twitter.com/domlet/status/1092615196101627904 …

This is serious stuff. I expect some people will fight tooth and nail even to have a conversation but we would not be fulfilling our duties as local elected officials if we didn’t confront this sordid past and try to rectify it.

We can rightly complain about Trump’s asanine wall all day long but we have to take off our rose colored glasses & look in the mirror. How are we building walls? How are we a welcoming community? More importantly, why has our community gotten whiter & wealthier? Real talk.

So, the time is now to have a talk. A TALK. Don’t be scared. We are home of the Free Speech Movement. Let’s have a conversation. Home prices have increased 65% in the past 5 years. Rent has increased 54% in the past five years. Homelessness has increased 17% in 2 years.
