No, but a lack of construction of inexpensive apartments is. You cant build inexpensive apartments in Brooklyn.

Replying to @sbkDSA @neipate96 and

I'm not a developer, and I've worked against gentrification for quite a number of years. Building a lot of new cheap rentals in areas that are not at risk for gentrification is the best way to keep people from gentrifying other areas. There's more people in NYC every year and

they all need housing. Building housing is the only way to create that housing. I live in a pre-war with 50 units and no parking, it'd be illegal to build it now because of parking requirements, but if we built more like it then we would have less of a problem with gentrification

You must be aware that developers don't want to build affordable housing. It's not lucrative. Every "affordable" unit has to be coerced from them, and you would still have to earn 50-60k on the books to qualify for it.

They don't want to build "affordable" housing, but they're fine with building as much housing that they can even if they can't sell them for a lot of money each. Most "affordable" housing is just regular apartments that the developer has been forced to rent for less than they

want to. But without car mandates the city could force them to build even more units that are smaller and actually affordable and then people who would otherwise gentrify will move to those neighborhoods. Either way, parking minimums suck and reduce the number of housing units.

South Brooklyn DSA Retweeted Show Your Work

Seems like a good faith argument with bad politics. The housing crisis isn't about parking. It's about profit. If you're in NYC and around this afternoon, check out some of the speakers at the housing march. 5 pm, NYPL on 42ndhttps://twitter.com/showusyourwork/status/1007276993187078144?s=19 …

This #FlagDay you can catch me outside protesting #CuomosHousingCrisis in midtown today. If you see someone you think is me, approach using the code words "renters supporting Andrew Cuomo are negotiating against themselves" pic.twitter.com/LNDllbqPfP

Replying to @sbkDSA @neipate96 and

If you're only looking at developers as the problem you're missing the bigger picture. Yes, profit is a big part of the problem, but it's not the only part of the problem. Like I said, socializing housing that's run by bad landlords needs to be part of the solution.

Unfortunately, I work late tonight. I can never make those rallies that are at 5pm in the city tho, I don't know who can really, no one I've ever worked with. At least it's not at Union Square yet again though, Bryant Park is much better.

For some people, this is their life's work. For lots of others who are unemployed or underemployed, it's a daily crisis. The streets will be packed tonight, keep an eye on the hashtag.
