It’s soo beginning to look like mercury retrograde

Imagine being a voter who sold out all the women/queer/immigrant folk in your life because you thought Trump was going to reduce the cost of eggs. Poor things, how could they have known!

Don’t pass $4.5 Trillion in tax cuts and ever come at me again that we can’t have this.

as i pointed out in July of last year - project 2025 is going to decimate HUD & affordable housing production

they are going to break the housing market - only the wealthy will be able to buy homes. working class renters will have to pay exorbitant rents - a permanent underclass, no upward mobility

This has been so helpful thank you!

SEATTLE JUST VOTED TO ENACT A TAX ON MILLIONAIRE BUSINESSES TO BUILD SOCIAL HOUSING.

Late results tend to favor left wing results, so the chance of this flipping in the coming days is near zero.

Congrats Seattle! Hopefully this inspires us in San Francisco to follow your lead 🎉

There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.

Seems like a good time to say this again.

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

Btw I’m totally aware we need to zoning policy change at the local level. At the same time, 95% of the burden is placed on local governments who are not at all equipped financially or politically to solve such a massive problem. Hence what is our national policy/vision to rally the collective?

Who around here has a vision of how we’ll actually solve the housing crisis? We have a fascist regime claiming mass deportation is the answer, but it seems like on the national level our only counterpoints are sad policy tweaks like tax credits for first time homebuyers. How are we rallying folks?

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Navajo Nation President responds after concern tribal members could be detained by ICE Some Indigenous people fear racial profiling and a lack of adequate IDs could lead to confusion during possible raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

On social media, several Navajo Nation tribal members say they have had their nationality questioned. The accounts are not verified but Navajos who live off the reservation say they are concerned about being swept up in raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Residential shared space

A new study found co-living congregate housing could spur conversions of vacant offices, which are much costlier to convert to conventional housing. It could also return Seattle to its affordable single-room occupancy roots.
