Tenants advocates: “We want dense, walkable, high quality, buildings, with affordable, predictable rent and great transit and we think we need to build much much more of it”
YIMBYs: “Why do you hate housing supply? Why do you love giant houses in the suburbs?”
@ForwardCarolina Odd take. In most cases should be more citizen engagement in the annexation/rezoning process, not less. Especially in the case referenced here, where 200 acres of protected watershed was annnexed for clearcutting for a sprawl development.
@ForwardCarolina@reeves4raleigh Carolina Forward being pro low density, car-dependent, single family sprawl… checks out, actually. As long as developers want it, why not destroy the climate and lock us into car dependency for generations.
Dean’s interventions on tenants’ right to counsel to COVID eviction protections to pushing **funding** for rent relief, SRO upgrades, landbanking for affordable production, affordable acquisition, etc — are CRITICAL & NEGLECTED ELEMENTS OF GOOD HOUSING POLICY.
stay mad, haters!
We need leaders like Dean Preston in every state, at all levels of government - leaders who not only stand up to special interests, but also have the courage to address striking levels of inequality at their core.
That's why I'm endorsing Dean for the SF Board of Supervisors.
@ASNC20@hamentaschennow@NateBakerDurham Doesn’t that account belong to a PA PAC board member? If so, this is incredibly concerning albeit not surprising behavior.
After over a year of promoting free market deregulatory YIMBYism, APA now cares about gentrification and displacement?
If they’ve changed their ways that’s great, but it smells fake.
Uniting community and promoting belonging are essential in planning. @APAFlorida has a webinar to help guide planners facing gentrification and community displacement in AAPI neighborhoods. #AsianPacificAmericanHeritageMonth https://t.co/NJhY3O0JyL
Guy on the left is far ringwinger Greg Gianforte who once bodyslammed a @guardian reporter.
Guy on the right is a libertarian Koch-funded planner who thinks the real estate industry needs more power.
Together, they are an unstoppable force for social justice! @APA_Planning
Literally every email @APA_Planning sends out now pushes M Nolan Gray’s Koch-backed libertarianism. Y’all know there are thousands of other people working on land use reform?
APA went from equity planning to trickle down economics real fast.
Come on APA. Do better.
