OPINION: We must move from the logic of profit to the ethic of care — from housing as commodity to housing as common good. sfexaminer.com/forum/why-zon…

Proud day for regional government as the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority approved a $20 billion affordable housing for the 9 Bay Area Counties. Fresh from our local victory on a $300 million bond for SF housing, CCHO will be leaning w/housing justice allies to win in November

Veritas Tenants Association is standing up to corporate landlords, and they are holding @Brookfield and Ballast accountable as the new owners of 62 units where Veritas had massively defaulted on its debt. Shoutout to @housingrightsSF for fighting the good fight! @nbcbayarea

The cost burden to Bay Area residents is telling when you consider how BIPOC and working class households are affected. In SF it’s 30% of households that are feeling the pinch in paying >30% of income for housing. But percentages don’t tell the full story. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti…

Consider the burden to families from having to work 20-80 more hrs/wk to pay for housing. BIPOC communities have been displaced, evicted, priced out of the Bay Area due to these costs. More streamlining doesn't address this; we need to build & preserve affordable housing.
