Tenants at Fulton 1st rallied against demo in 2019. It was the 1st plan on the table even tho buildings weren’t in disrepair. Now thanks to the ANTI-democratic strategy of the Chelsea Working Group, demo is back on the table. This sets a dangerous precedent! Time to show out!!

Actually, the first step was to not sell public housing down the river. That is a major reserve of public land and publicly-owned housing that a DSA elected official stepped up to sell off.
We do have to build more housing; it should be publicly owned, robustly funded, controlled by the people. How we get from here to there is not easy
By mitigating displacement/rent hikes and giving tenants rights to take power good cause and TOPA are HUGELY NECESSARY first steps

CONGRESS. CONGRESS is the worst landlord. CONGRESS made it impossible for NYCHA to make repairs, and federal prosecutors worked hard to replace any discussion of disinvestment w mismanagement.
NYCHA is the worst landlord in NYC – the heating and hot water outages we saw at Fort Independence Houses and across the five boroughs are at once entirely unacceptable and entirely predictable given NYCHA’s history of mismanagement and chronic underfunding.
We need reform now.

Well, actually, no.. There are still 168,000 public housing units funded thru Section 9. Public housing and social housing are not equivalent, but public housing is certainly one type of social housing. Or are we trying to erase public housing so we don’t have to fight for it?
🧵 Most of NYC's social housing (60k units!) comes from Mitchell-Lama co-ops. After decades of affordability, these residents are battling privatization to keep their homes.

Rather than challenging the political winds which have normalized housing insecurity and homelessness for low income households, social housing promises to secure mostly white middle class futures in urban areas - I’d argue, paralleling suburbanization in some key ways.

One key thing the Blueprint Trust does is create an institutional barrier between the public subsidy AND tenants and repairs and maintenance. This ensures the hard line cash serves as debt repayment and creates more security for investors.

We all want nice things but if we pursue this vision of hous w/out preserving pub hous & addressing homelessness then we are not solving the housing crisis, but reinforcing it’s tectonics.. meaning another round of racialized dispossession while resecuring a white middle class.

Conversely, tenants & their right to safe afford housing become completely reliant on speculative debt, & funding for their needs comes after debts are repaid. What if the Trust can’t keep up w their debt payments? Tenants will once again be told there is no money.

This is important! Some of the social housing policy arguments justify targeting middle income households because allegedly we’re only building affordable housing for low-income people..

Why isn’t there more outrage from elected officials about the displacement provoked by RAD at Ocean Bay Houses and elsewhere? Where is the call to investigate further? Could it be because some campaign donors are making out big?
NEW INVESTIGATION: As homelessness has spiked in New York City, the people who run nonprofit shelters have found ways to enrich themselves. They’ve collected large salaries, steered money to companies they control, and hired their relatives. 1/

When afford housing industry folks talk about “afford hous” what they are actually talking about is access to affordable mortgage credit.
They DONT mean access to afford hous for low-inc households & certainly not the robust hous provision needed to address the housing crisis.

@NYCHA
describes the resident vote for demo at Fulton Houses as “57% of nearly 1,000 residents”…
What a misleading way of talking abt a decision that would effect at least 4,500 residents..
More accurate: only 22% of residents participated in the vote; only 12% votes yes..

Unshockingly, and revealing - the nonprofits are a front for real estate and financial interests..
