get that OUT of my face posted:a fair amount of people on the left have hosed up priorities when it comes to housing. the ones that really confuse me are the "just build it" types. in NYC that never works out for the people already in communities, it screws with schools, and it even causes strain on the power grid i choose to believe that she thought increasing density via zoning would've undermined her tenant activism because she's a techlord transplant

exmarx posted:yimbys are """market urbanists""" right bay area yimbys are "whoa all these millionaire homeowners are blocking literally all residential construction here, that seems bad" i would imagine the chicago ones are the same, since the nimbys there are blocking a 100% affordable housing development on what appears to be density zoning grounds. turns out you need to override or eliminate single-family zoning regardless of what you wanna build!

Al! posted:oopsie daisy liberals made the affordable housing issue entirely about race and now it's being used to advance the economic interests of the capitalists As a Chicago resident this kind of poo poo makes me want to tear my loving hair out. The solution to gentrification seems so simple : build more affordable housing like this, and enact this fancy new idea called rent control for existing housing. Cap price increases at 5% a year or something, don't need a galaxy brain to figure it out.
