In @latimes by @LATlands & @geholland, a comprehensive review traces how over a century of policy choices—like dismantling low-income housing and slashing social services—laid the groundwork for L.A.’s current homelessness crisis. https://t.co/D9nyWkthw9 In @latimes by @LATDoug,

Their 50-year mortgage plan bombed & they won’t build housing or touch Wall Street landlords, so they’re hoping you blame your high rent on immigrants.
.@VP: "A lot of young people are saying, 'housing is way too expensive.' Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who are taking houses that ought, by right, go to American citizens... what we're doing is trying to make it easier to build

“There’s also so many tragic stories of people’s breadwinning family members who have been abducted. They don’t deserve to be evicted right now; it is unsafe for them. They deserve to stay in their homes.”

"What Cuomo thought was a weakness for Mamdani turned out to be a strength: Rent-stabilized apartment or not, Mamdani is, like the majority of city residents, a renter." 🔗 https://t.co/TcYyE70pJy

Rent stabilization is good.
In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country. All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year. All formerly unregulated units are also getting rent stabilization to limit landlord rent hikes.

This week in @Oaklandside by @nat_orenstein, officials from Oakland went to Texas to learn how the state is addressing homelessness. At HN, we know one surefire way to stop the rise in homelessness is to protect tenants with rent control! https://t.co/tc7V78be8k In

Our sr. staff attorney Stacey Tutt spoke with @nytrealestate @jillterreri about how Trump’s HUD made it easier for lenders, brokers, & landlords to discriminate - including unlawfully singling out potential homebuyers based on their nation of origin, accent, or language.

If @SecretaryTurner cares about delayed maintenance, why did he just fire @HUDgov's entire building inspection team?

"@SecretaryTurner, the housing secretary, did not reject the idea." We deserve a @HUDgov with better ideas than throwing people into camps. 🔗 https://t.co/FVYFheq6GV

CHA says the anti-DEI terms contradict HUD's own regulations, like the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) rule mandating emergency housing plans for sexual assault & domestic violence victims. https://t.co/m6Af7L4wwh

"It is also far from normal for an administration to fire line-level civilian employees during a government shutdown as a way to punish the opposing political party. But this is precisely what President Trump has announced he is doing,”
They lied. We sued. They lost. 341 HUD jobs saved...for now. Next step: stay organized, stay loud, stay union. https://t.co/tXmhHub8dy
