In The Annex and Crescent Town, 2 sides to Toronto's Density Dilemma:

Great long-form article in The Local illustrating the costs of exclusionary zoning, and the efforts of a tenants union to fight back against corporate landlords.

The church conversion at 38 Walmer is a perfect place to add housing, close to 2 subway lines, and very bikeable. But Annex residents are good at keeping people out.

The Local · In the Annex and Crescent Town, Two Sides to a Density Dilemma | The LocalThe Annex had fewer residents in 2021 than 1971. The towers of Crescent Town had far more. How the uneven, illogical densification pattern of the last 50 years created today’s Toronto.

Things I stand for:
1) Human rights > corporate rights
2) corporations are not people unless they can be executed by the state
3) capitalism is fantastic not with a social safety net: but an oscha inspected solid floor (#ubi )
4) voting should be done with a three day weekend holiday.
5) nazism/fascism to be outlawed
6) citizens united reversed
7) digital security and privacy for all
8) #rentcontrol
9) legalized/regulate recreational drugs
10) #RatedVoting

California YIMBY joins corporate landlords in opposing the justice for renters ballot measure, which would end state restrictions on local rent control measures. They've always been lying trash, so this isn't a surprise, but it's more blatant than they usually are.

I have a new article out in the housing publication, Shelterforce. This one is a deep dive for policy wonks who care about rent stabilization.

In 2021, both Minneapolis and St. Paul voted on rent stabilization ballot measures in their November election. The people made their voices clear: they wanted rent stabilization.

However, the bureaucracy struck back...

Shelterforce · Affordable Housing Sector Split on Rent ControlIn the Twin Cities, where voters have recently supported rent control, most nonprofit housing developers have stayed silent, and some have openly lined up with the developers and landlords who oppose it.

Without Renters RIGHTS 'control' is a #BadJoke and only controls how fast a landlord can raise the rent. In California for example, all a landlord has to say is: "My brother in law is coming to town. You have to move", or even "Sorry. I found someone willing to pay more than you", and you have 90 days until eviction with NO RECOURSE AT ALL.

So tell me how #RentControl actually helps, @TheProgressive?

Ps imho 🧨☠️Slaughtering landlords☠️💥 and confiscating their property would help.

We here in the birthplace of YIMBYism have been saying this for a decade and been met with nonstop toxic attacks for doing so. Great to see The New Republic lay the facts out so clearly for a national audience.

Long thread/18

Today, the rest of the world is mired in a terrible housing crisis. It's not merely that the rent's too damned high (though it is) - housing precarity is driving dangerous political instability:

Turning the human necessity of shelter into a market commodity is a failure. The economic orthodoxy that insists that public housing, rent control, and high-density zoning will lead to less housing has failed. #RentControl *works*:
