What if an entire publication's demonstrated, repeated messaging over the course of many years is keeping neighborhoods in amber without understanding the implicit costs, tradeoffs that has on the entire system....and supporting his candidacy is entirely in line with that?

then (and I don’t agree with that characterization of 48 Hills) I’d say the publication was...editorially consistent. The cited article is not supporting Kopp, it is speculating about the potential electoral effects of his running.

look, they all want to keep things the same. There are costs to keeping things the same, esp. bc property tax revenues (under the P13 paradigm) do not keep up w/ cost of running a city.

I don’t see how promoting new tenant protections, expanding rent control, and advocating for a massive expansion of worker-affordable housing is ‘keeping things the same’, but okay.

At some point, after years (and decades) of this, you just need to call a spade a spade.
