I know this article is about action but I'm so happy that Tracy mentioned parts of the complex structure that keeps rent and property values high, especially in California. Tons of legislation and initiatives to protect investments essentially. Maybe I'll do a little piece on it
My elevator has been out for 3 weeks and bc I’m blind and have arthritis in my knees. I’ve been stuck in my apartment as much as possible bc stairs are my nemesis. It’s not ok. Thank you for this important article.
This was fantastic! I am American but have lived outside of the US for over 10 years now. Not that rent isn't bad everywhere, but I am always shocked when talking to friends back home about how much their housing costs. It's unthinkable and totally unsustainable. Things are definitely getting worse in that regard in Berlin, but it's (at least not yet) nowhere near US levels of expense.
Housing as 'human right', no, that diminishes more fundamental rights. It is, however a civic right. The abuse of this civic right represents a diminishment of the particular civil society that is structured to accomodate such abuse.
Just bought the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Frendrick Engels.
When can I move into that free apartment building that you built and maintain.

Ordering my copy! Thanks for sharing this interview Joshua. Really moved by Tracy's words and excited to give it a read

Everyone look into WALTER PECKLER….. they’ve been bringing his ignorant speeches back out
