you wonder why there’s a housing shortage and then you see elected officials like this who see every new proposed housing unit as an opportunity to fund a dozen other social goals

That’s not the point. I support new housing in my district - but we also negotiate deeper affordability, union jobs, & significant investments in Parks and other infrastructure to meet needs of growing communities. This Commission has decided that shouldn’t happen any more.

Scoffing at goals like affordable prices for housing; fair pay and protections for workers who build housing; and improving the physical area around that housing as "social goals" might be why you abundance guys are having a tough time.

the reason housing is unaffordable is because we make it very hard to build, the social goals you talked about are important but we should fund them through broad taxes, not taxes on the thing *we have a shortage of*

Also this smug “you abundance guys are having a tough time” thing is such bullshit. We just passed massive CEQA reform in California! The next mayor of NYC has praised abundance! What are you talking about

The leaders of the progressive wing of the party has done a real disservice by implying that we can accomplish all progressive goals by just taxing rich individuals and corporations Maybe they honestly think this? But someone needs to do some math
