Her housing section is just pure irony:
>Affordable, safe, and accessible housing is a human right, and communities, not real estate developers, should be prioritized in all neighborhood planning.
That's such typical fake-progressiveness and flat out dihonest.
We all know who benefits from NIMBY and from government efforts to curtail supply-side competition:
- It's not the people who pay for housing.
- It's the few powerful entities who are able (or have the "connections") to navigate the political obstacles to continue charging for housing.
>Organizing with tenant activists has provided the foundation for how she will approach the affordable housing crisis in the City.
She obviously wants everyone to continue being a tenant for life.
When the absolute best path to housing freedom and accumulation of wealth is helping people becoming homeowners. But why even go there if she can manage to keep everyone chained to their leases forever?
Her agenda is to explicitly perpetuate tenants struggles, because she benefits from that.
