(We should also build that kind of housing too but let’s be real about what the odds are, how long and hard it is to finance and how many units can be produced that way per year.)

If you don’t organize against the odds nothing happens. if you invest your intelligence & energy giving people a vision of a future to believe in, something better may happen. why spend a short life trending to the lowest common denominator?

the idea of putting the marginalized in charge of housing policy instead of benevolent technocrats isn’t just a cutesy lefty CA tenant goal, it’s actually essential to the survival of the human race in the next 30-50 years. we’ll need state intervention to take climate refugees

Climate refugees will be fleeing, not coming to California.

market urbanist utopias are incompatible with climate density timelines and the people pushing them should know better

But socialist utopias are somehow compatible with climate change timelines?

Also more broadly, I’m skeptical that utopia and climate change even fit together regardless of whatever resource allocation system one uses....
