note that I'm not saying do *only* social housing, I'd be willing to compromise 50/50 to get the yimbys and developers on board

have you all read UK Labour's new Housing For The Many report? I think it's genuinely excellent as a model

UK has a long history of social housing with something 20-25% of London’s housing stock being managed this way. In California, public housing stock has been transferred to community based non profits over the last few decades https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/07/20/how-san-francisco-turned-its-tenements-into-treasures-215391 …

See this is a bit slippery. Do you think social housing is impossible or do you think it's bad?

Replying to @peterjgowan @ryanlcooper and
I think it’s good but currently impossible in the current political context of California. Reforming Prop 13, which is the great white whale of Californian politics, is probably a *prerequisite* to any kind of non-token social housing program.

it is fun to remind myself of the nightmare that is prop 13 but yes i am aware of it, but it is my continuing belief that the best way to surpass reactionary constraints is to set goals which go beyond what those constraints allow. shoot for the moon and all that

Reforming Prop 13 is shooting for the moon.

At minimum: reform article 34 so govts *can* be developers; let govts issue 30+ year local housing bonds against revenues (not "over a few years" as the LAO presumes; 3) require much deeper inclusionary which i continue to believe, from experience, is totally feasible

You keep describing the unfortunate consequences of the neoliberalization of public housing as though it were both inevitable and based in some broad public demand. Neither is at all true
