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

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.

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.

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).

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.

Oh hell no! YIMBY = gentrification, displacement, luxury/market rate apartments, real estate lobby, Abundance trickle down Reagonomics. She should stay as far away from YIMBY/NIMBY politics and endorsements as possible.
