This right wing obsession with “antifa” as some sort of formal organization is absurd and not based in fact. It’s nothing more than an authoritarianist attempt to discredit anybody who opposes the rise of Christian White Nationalism, which is the underlying ideology of Stephen Miller’s White House.

Yes. The social housing report is due back this summer. Leading up to that my office will be doing some education on this, which we haven’t really attempted in earnest yet.

Functionally rent buydowns work more or less the same as the CPE RLF approach (replace higher cost liabilities with lower cost liabilities) but for existing portfolios, that are not an effective part of the supply stack because they’re out of the money viz market.

Hard to ask voters to sign up for another bond when a) we haven’t attempted to clear our current vacancies, b) we don’t know how to keep tally of our PHB money, c) we are seemingly unable to exert any cost control for new projects.

I look forward to passing our oversight resolution on Wednesday so we can identify how to correct this deficiency and restore the public trust.

It’s of the utmost importance for the public to trust that we are good stewards of public dollars.

It’s about stewardship.

Thanks for documenting this, Tim.

I didn’t see that myself. Thanks for flagging that for me. I will bring that to the discussions we are having with respect to the Federal situation.

I am so sorry. I want to hear about that, too. I am trying to build a record and get as much info as possible. Thank you.

Proud to march with you and 10k of my neighbors. The Mayor has issued a statement in the event and his intentions for how to proceed

I didn’t bring any of my gear because surely they wouldn’t gas a daytime march with a bunch of kids, right?
