Replying to @BenRossTransit @eean and
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"

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?????"

In the US much of the public housing was meant to be awful. The real estate industry would only permit public housing that was set apart from public housing, constructed on the cheap, and intentionally stigmatized public housing residents. Lesson: no real estate industry “help”.

What really irks me is that she has secret knowledge about "plenty of housing", but doesn't share it with us! C'mon, Lydia!
