OPINION: We must move from the logic of profit to the ethic of care — from housing as commodity to housing as common good.

This week, the @sfbos unanimously voted to expand rent control for the first time in 30 years! REP-SF members and our allies @SF_CCHO & @stopsfevictions gave public comment at the Land Use Committee in support! Thank you, Supervisor @AaronPeskin, for sponsoring this legislation!

EDC is the Lead Partner for the SF Tenant Right to Counsel program which has a 92% sucess rate in preventing homelessness- costing only $6,300 per eviction case - compared to $71,000 in costs for adding one new bed in a city shelter. jacobin.com/2024/05/san-fran… @DeanPreston

🏘️ Every San Franciscan has the right to live here. Today, hundreds SRO tenants, working families of color, youth and elders gathered at City Hall to call for a budget that prioritizes our communities and ensures safe, affordable housing for all!

@CASpeakerRivas We completely agree with you!! That's why we need your support to make housing a constitutional right in California by passing #ACA10!

Private developers will never build the amount of affordable housing that this state requires. They have no interest in building homes for middle, low-income and no-income people. #SocialHousing can solve California's homelessness and affordability crisis

Scoop: Can #SanFrancisco block landlords with track records of endangering their tenants from buying or owning property in the city? A city supervisor is exploring the idea.

With sensationalistic headlines like these, today’s @SFChronicle series by Megan Cassidy fuels stereotypes that are as crude as they are xenophobic. In this 🧵we’ll expose some of the key omissions, errors, and missing context. Please read and share! 1/

Largest study of homelessness in California in 3 decades finds a "fundamental problem" that drives it: "the rent is too damn high."

Even if the Mayor doesn’t care about cutting CEOP & SRO Collaborative, she doesn't get the final say. “This is winnable," said HRCSF's Fred Sherburn-Zimmer, "We’re going to continue going to DBI & City Hall if we need to until these cuts are put back.”

Corporate landlords base their business model on gaining profits at all costs by raising rents, neglecting maintenance, & evictions.
But why are they allowed to do that? Where do they get their power?
