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
which part of the take do you think is disturbing? i don't think anything i said here is really all that controversial - building a bigger base for public/social housing that serves all

Hmmm. Rezonings are not social housing at all. Building a broad coalition together to support actual social housing and to protect NYCHA from privatization is a great idea. It is already happening.

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! - Show replies

In brief, you are coming out in support of soho (a plan for 75% luxury housing) as we rally people to testify against it. See the clip from
@artagainstnyc below. Affordable for who is a vital question. These are bad deals for the community and we are allowed to point that out. -
i don’t think cea is coming out in support of the rezoning ! i think cea’s saying that it’s flawed but may bring short term benefit & convos don’t get at the expansion of status quo / expansion of the developer class

I would love to build a bigger base in support of public housing. Im just wondering why you see accepting a deal that enriches developers and displaces low income ppl as part of that mission. It makes you an enemy of LES organizers who do want to expand *real* affordability.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
