don't want to wade into housing discourse which i usually (miraculously, somehow) stay above but the whole "affordable for whom" narrative amongst progressive housing orgs seems like it has been a major strategic misstep for those of us who want to expand public/social housing
That’s my point! I dunno I guess it’s best not to discuss this on Twitter but I’ll try: 1/3
- rezoning ≠ new development of social housing, I agree! and rezoning debates talk abt subsidy far too little, as @jennyaction points out. It’s a dead end imo!

- new social housing construction will require rezoning, especially in exclusionary neighborhoods - I think that social housing should be mixed income, and serve people at a variety of income levels 2/3

- therefore. I’d like to STOP talking abt “affordable to who” and start talking about long and short term public value. In my thread, I say there are perhaps short term benefits that value private actors long term questions….
