Parking in low-income housing is a serious issue that sadly has turned into some ideological war b/c the convo is dominated by a bunch of privileged yt ppl and Ivory Tower liberals, who could care less about working class/marginalized ppl.

The more important question is who will purchase these new units and/or for what purpose will they be used/rented. When cities are in housing crisis there has to be a PLAN for: WHAT gets built, WHERE, by WHOM and for WHAT PURPOSE. And human rights must guide that to produce

Note that just a few short months after big YIMBYs on Housing Twitter started mass blocking their critics, yt supremacists, Trump supporters, new accounts & old accounts with <100 followers started flooding comments. Coincidence? #ProudBoysOfRealEstate ink a deal or sumthin?

IMO, m was one of the best accounts SF had for daily analysis and viewpoints. They dealt with constant slander and attacks. Restore the account.

Private equity firms could own 40% of single-family homes by 2030.  If we don’t act America will become a nation of renters putting the American Dream further out of reach.  We need to pass the Stop Wall Street Landlords Act.

50% of USA unhoused families are Black...despite being less than 13% of the population. It's a ratio that mirrors the prison pop in many places. Coincidence? I think not. #gentrification (From '20, but stats definitely haven't gotten much better) abcnews.go.com/US/50-homeless…

“the spike suggests that real estate speculators are buying low and selling for a hefty profit…we see rampant home flipping in some of the neighborhoods where these sale prices are increasing rapidly” gothamist.com/news/home-pric…

The mayor, hyping downtown development, said that “where Moscone Center is, there used to be nothing but parking lots.” In fact, the area that became the Yerba Buena Redevelopment site had 3,000 SRO hotel units and hundreds of working-class families. 48hills.org/2023/05/london…

What YIMBYs need to be told every time they try to use the thought-stopping* cliché "don't let perfect be the enemy of good". (*thought-stopping phrases are a cult practice to deliberately interrupt critical thinking in their acolytes and those who they try to evangelize.)

Kate Willett Say it with me class: You will never, ever, see massive amounts of new construction & sustained housing prices, let alone declining housing prices. Anyone who suggests differently doesn’t know (or is lying about) how real estate financing & construction works. #TheBigYIMBYLie

You cannot rely on those who contributed to the housing crisis to solve the housing crisis - unless the ground rules that govern their behavior are radically altered.

Important to know that the same dangerous people behind Project 2025 are behind the YIMBY movement. For example: Mercatus Center which is part of Project 2025 has an alum as California YIMBY Research Director Nolan Gray M. Nolan Gray 🥑
