Looks like she didn't become a YIMBY after all. Good for her and for Atlanta. #taxtherich

In what is being called a sharp break from tradition, President Trump just publicly celebrated the indictment of former FBI director James Comey.

Please join us for a special session of the Alameda County Progressive Democrats tonight @ 7-8:30 pm. Two leading national experts on "what works" in terms of congressional and state advocacy for Palestine will speak. Relevant even if you don't live in the County. Hassan and Lily are incredible!

Look at this utter shit from the Politico interview of Hasan Piker. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Where is the outrage about political violence?

Public health matters. Violence anywhere has the potential to echo and resurface everywhere. This is a frightening time, especially for those of us in politics and for activists on all sides.

During the Vietnam War, we saw a surge of violence at home; Operation Desert Storm ended just before the Rodney King beating and the subsequent LA Uprising after the officers’ acquittal; and the Fort Hood massacre occurred in the shadow of the Iraq War.

From a public health perspective, this desensitization not only dulls our empathy but also enables those who inflict violence to grow numb to the consequences of their actions on all of us.

Unfortunately, by watching the violence in other countries, particularly the ongoing suffering of Palestinians in Gaza, we in Western nations have become desensitized to it.

The lower rent was due to lower desirability. No one wanted to move into the city. There is nothing in the world you can share with me that is going to make me side with upward redistribution of wealth.

California housing reform could result in 'too much upzoning' | Opinion A controversial housing bill seeking to make it easier to build dense housing near certain transit stops would cause "too much upzoning," a former East Bay councilman argues.

Unpacking supply and demand in rent trends since the Minneapolis 2040 Plan | Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis New analysis provides a fresh look at how Minneapolis’ 2040 comprehensive plan is influencing housing supply, demand, and affordability in the city

In other words, despite increases in the housing supply, data indicate that fewer renters wanted to move to, or remain in, Minneapolis during this time period.

Some studies indicate a decrease in overall rents from increased market-rate housing (Asquith, 176) but there are others that indicate the opposite or very limited effects overall (Li, 177).

California YIMBY Joins Corporate Landlords to Kill Rent Control Measure California YIMBY joins corporate landlords to kill the Justice for Renters Act, a pro-rent control ballot measure.

The Illusion of YIMBY/Abundance By Patrick Condon and David Fields

The Illusion of YIMBY/Abundance: Does not deliver the affordability gains its proponents predict. Its idealism perpetuates the very issues it purports to resolve. utahvanguard.medium.com/the-illusion...

I am a city council Councilmember. I saw our numbers for ADUs, and of the many were built...how many became affordable? 0% It's a ponzi scheme that widens portfolios of private equity and real estate companies.

YIMBY is top to bottom trickle down economics that benefit private developers that gentrifies and dispalces. That is why YIMBY supresses rent control, tenant stabilization, tenant unions. Follow the money.

If you want to talk about "backwards" directions, let's keep it simple: I'm advocating and I believe the council candidate is advocating for a bottom to up power dynamic, grassroots mobilization and policy building.
