actually it provides 6 financing models and also the authors have made it extremely clear that self-financing plans are NOT intended to dissuade additional subsidy but to refute common BS myths about social housing.

in other words, this is a "where we can start today" roadmap, so people like me don't have to deal with that section of urbanists who constantly sputter "BUT HOW WILL YOU PAY FOR IT"

The section of urbanists who don't want to repeal Prop 13, who totally actually exist

stop sidestepping, this isn't about Prop 13, this is about what a lot of people say about social housing. the idea that the majority of urbanists have been secret lefties this whole time who love the idea of the public owning housing is demonstrably false

yeah again i'm just gonna point out that i think left-leaning yimbys have a massive blind spot towards the large contingent of people with "urbanist" or "yimby" in the bio whose initial response to this paper was "like in Soviet Russia?????"

We know they exist. They mostly are open about their views. We are bothered by the apparent blind spot of many anti-gentrification people toward those (many) who use "anti-gentrification" dishonestly to defend exclusionary zoning

this canard will truly never die until you write a zoning bill that actually is good. if you actually tried to phase out zoning in a race and class sensitive manner instead of taking a hatchet to redlined communities you literally wouldn't have this straw man to punch repeatedly

of course then the real estate folks in your coalition like the realtors and apt associations would get mad that you're not giving them limitless access to cheaper land and more removable residents, which is why your side will never be the ones to do it

SB827 has the strongest anti-displacement protections of any bill I'm aware of anywhere. Proposing excluding low income/minority areas from new investment literally IS redlining. That's exactly what redlining was.

oh my god where to begin with this beyond "NO" okay bud right to return is the weakest form of tenant protection. there are 1000 ways to get around it. especially because the bill has *no enforcement mechanism* and 80% of tenants in America don't have lawyers

Parcels w housing covered by rent or price controls can’t apply for 827 unless the city explicitly creates a program for demolition of RC units. Which, if you had a city w a strong enough tenants movement to have RC in the 1st place, why would that city explicitly allow RC demo?
