What's amusing about people being against SRO(Single room occupancy).. is that they are fine with dorms, hostels, and people living with roommates. Which are all basically the same thing. SROS are a viable way of housing the lowest income people and students.

There is a dangerous belief that, "Market rate housing is very bad, unless its a single family home built 50 years ago". Opposing market rate apartments while preserving segregated market rate single family neighborhoods, is not standing in solidarity with the working class.

Homeownership can either be a good investment, or it can be affordable, it cannot be both. The generations that relied on their home values going up did so at the expense of the current generation who hope to buy a home but can't.

San Francisco passed a vacancy tax that exempted all the luxury homes. It was disappointing to see people in the DSA support this. We should have a vacancy tax that covers vacant units. Adding more supply will increase affordability, no more handouts for rich landowners!

This is called a Vacancy Truther. They believe that there are plenty of empty units just sitting around that would magically solve the housing crisis. They ironically think that forcing the rental of these units would provide new supply, but oppose building new supply πŸ˜‚

NY's "housing crisis" has ZERO to do with available units. Look around; plenty is vacant. Real housing crisis has EVERYTHING to do with NYers not being able to afford what they currently own/rent because Democrats have been taxing us to death for decades.

Affordable housing built by non-profits is the dream, but local control, NIMBYs, and restrictive zoning makes it impossible to build cheaply and quickly it in almost every major city. We need dense, affordable, abundant housing and we can't wait.

Housing is a human right. The government needs to take action to build housing for everyone. If it can't handle it, then it needs to get out of the way of people who can get it built, or better yet partner with them to get it done.

Gabriela Futsi was killed crossing here in 2016. After 7 years, LADOT took action: They installed a memorial sign. We painted two crosswalks on April 10 and within days, they removed them. So remember: Your family members? Expendable. A bit of paint? Now that’s an emergency.

It's extremely difficult to mobilize and organize to make material improvements for the working class when you're rent burdened. Working 2-3 jobs to take care of yourself and your family makes it almost impossible to have time to try and change anything. House our comrades now!

Unfortunately in wealthy cities, even leftist politicians have started to align with the rich. Perhaps because they represent their constituents best interests? We should fight for what's right, and not back rich landowners that keep the working class down.

The last time I was homeless after I lost my job after becoming sick I was living in my car, with my friends, and eventually at my new job in a room in the back. I used my new new paychecks and maxed my credit card with a cash advance to get a new market rate apartment.

Good, if valuable land sits empty and the landowners won't sell it or use it, then it should be given to people who can use it.

What an exciting 3 days since we started the DSA YIMBY Caucus! We have 63 full members (DSA) and 24 allies (non-DSA). We have 5 events planned and a coffee meeting already happened today in Brooklyn where we talked about DSA+YIMBY unity. More to come, I can barely keep up!

US cities have been waging war against the working class for almost 100 years. Almost 100 people die every day because communities refuse to build adequate housing. We cannot turn our backs on barbarism at home or aboard, no death is justified.

Anyone that thinks buying a $600,000 home where you need a $120,000 down payment, great credit, $140,000/yr household income... Is the same as a $1600/month apartment... Really does not understand the working class.

Some would call this a monument to capitalism, I would call it 140 affordable homes that didn't exist in the neighborhood filled with $1.3M luxury houses. My comrades need a place to live, I won't make perfect the enemy of good.

It's painful to hear, but if homeowners(investors) expect returns on their investment and they get the returns they want, then housing will never be affordable.

I admit the idea of slowly raising land taxes on landlords like the water temperature for a lobster in a pot is amusing. Eventually they say, "fine being a landlord sucks, buy my apartment and turn it into social housing"

@MorganEarlJones It did sort of start as a joke but then when people started asking to join and telling me they needed my support inside DSA I realized I could do real good by bringing unity to DSA YIMBYs and the broader YIMBYs. Especially since I was previously a member of DSA for many years.

We hope that the city of SF will waive fees, give faster permitting, reduce the parking from 212 spots to 85, increase density in exchange for more affordable units and deeper affordability. We would also like to see 20 50% affordable 3 bedroom units added to support families.

Whoa some people are getting mad about my tweet about SROs 😬. We have no room in shelters, transitional housing doesn't get built, waitlists for affordable take years, studios are too expensive. Just put everyone on the streets in an SRO for free, it's way cheaper and better.

Suburban sprawl forced by McMansion zoning(single family) is a massive handout to the car companies and oil companies. I'll take a developer building an apartment building on an empty lot near transit over the companies selling out our planet for profits any day of the week.
