@TedGaines speaks in support, it’s also remarkable that there appears there could be more Republican support for#SB827 than Democrats.8 replies 17 retweets 68 likesShow this thread -
This is going to be an early and resounding defeat for

Watching rich home owners use poverty/housing advocates do their dirty work is disgusting.

Before any bill like this is brought up again, proponents have to do huge outreach and get input from low income communities. It's really bizzarre to see the alliance of wealthy exclusivist suburbs and underprivileged communities that opposed this.

It is an uphill battle for sure. Some amendments could improve the bill, but if the working class would rather prevent some overpriced condos from being built than lowering their own rent, then I am at a loss.

Hi, I just bought one of those “luxury condos” for me to live in. It will not be vacant and I will be freeing up a rent controlled apartment elsewhere in the city. I am displacing nobody, since the condo building replacing a former industrial one. I’m a walking counterexample.

(I put “luxury condos” in quotes because it’s actually a lot less than the median house price in the city. I bought a “luxury condo” because THAT’S ALL THAT WAS AVAILABLE.)

If you would like, in a month I can get back to you as to the composition of the HOA and how many units are vacant in my building. I can pretty much already guarantee you, though, based on speaking to the sales staff, that you’re completely wrong as to who is buying these.
