For some people it’s very important that we build less affordable housing lest it offend the delicate sensibilities of the homeowner class

people are calling Padilla a left-NIMBY here but she makes it very clear her job is to use ~community outreach~ to reduce the number of affordable hsng units built on behalf of local landowners so what do you think would happen if it were actually public housing?

What is her rationale behind eliminating floors of a building ? This shit taps into my property rights concepts like, the owner chooses what to do with their property, not the state.

Her rationale is that the homeowner neighbors nearby did not want poor people on their block.

That is none of their business nor their place to judge, to be honest. Lopping off three floors of a property owners design that was done to the current rules? People are just fucking around with the rights of people and think they are on the good side.
