LA deliberately cut its housing capacity from ~10M to ~4M homes through single-family zoning. It hit that cap in the 1990s, then added 5x more jobs than homes 2010–2015.

The result is one of the world's least affordable cities.

These guys are such disgusting liars

Jeff Bezos on CNBC: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Bernie's 5% wealth tax would:
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60,000
-Give $12,000 to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-End homelessness

Bezos would see his wealth drop from $279 billion to $265 billion. Poor guy.

@morematerial We also need to build our bench. Liberals trust politicians more who go through the “proper” process starting with local government, then state, then federal office. We don’t have that kind of bench of socialist candidates ready for federal office in California. Gotta build it.

Zohran Mamdani turning a prison into a nonprofit grocery store says everything...less punishment, more basic needs. That’s the direction politics should go!!!!

Trump fires the parliamentarian over ballroom funding. Joe Biden let's them torpedo the first minimum wage hike in a decade.

DSA congratulates Tim Denson on advancing to the general for his election as Athens-Clarke County Mayor. Tim is a community organizer and Democratic Socialist working alongside @AthensAreaDSA to make Athens affordable for all working class people!

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

When it comes to members of Congress, nobody did more than Summer Lee, who came across the state to be the first member to endorse Rabb, recruited others to join, and even brought her staff into it to help build his operation. Huge PA win for Lee.

[DSA @DemSocialists]

Congratulations to Mathewos Samson on advancing to the general for Georgia House District 58! Mathewos will fight to make Georgia work for the working class, not the billionaires. DSA will be with him every step of the way.

[DSA @DemSocialists]

Democratic Socialist Andrea Parr has just advanced to a runoff election for Louisville Metro Council District 9. Andrea is fighting for budget reform, public power, and sanctuary policies protecting trans and immigrant communities. DSA will continue organizing to put Andrea in office this November 💪

[DSA @DemSocialists]

DSA congratulates our comrade Robert Levertis Bell on winning his election to the Kentucky House of Representatives. Robert is a public school teacher, the former co-chair of @dsa_louisville, and now the only socialist in the Kentucky State House (for now!)

Dubai’s hotel occupancy projected to plunge to about 10%

It was 80% before the war.

@bumbadum14 Yeah California has some of the worst history of segregation and racial discrimination.
