I feel sorry for anyone who has to have such a grossly biased “professor” at

Frankly I think it's fine as long as he discloses his points of view to his students, much as I do in my column and in my branding.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that strong tenant rights and building additional housing are complementary, not competitive, strategies?

I think the point a lot of people are making is that, historically, building new stuff, including housing, has led to the displacement of low-income tenants, particularly in communities of color. And there are some contemporary examples of this, too. So the distrust remains.

The issue is that new construction only generally pencils when prevailing rents are already high enough to induce displacement in the existing housing stock. New housing didn’t pencil in Oakland until 2014, after a crisis was well underway.

Thus it's no wonder some people are skeptical of upzoning. It doesn't help them. They're already gone.

If you want to use Katrina, the real comparison would be how New Urbanist planners wiped out public housing & built mixed-income properties with more units, but far fewer actually affordable units... all in the name of being progressive. It led to permanent displacement.

It was Alphonso Jackson's HUD, George W. Bush, and local Democratic Party powers in New Orleans along with the mainstream of urban planning professionals who called the hurricane an "opportunity."
