"In America, community land trusts have always been rooted in racial equity. Black sharecroppers in the rural South pioneered the model to protect their families from eviction by white owners during the civil rights movement." — Tony Pickett, Grounded Solutions Network. (3/10)
Going thru Dem presidential candidate housing platforms
Does anyone seek 2 severely regulate/ban big investors (private equity/foreign wealth) or small (flippers) that are manipulating the housing market?
Do they even provide lip-service?
Let’s see...

Let’s start w/the currently considered gold standard: @BernieSanders #HomesForAll
Sum talk a/b Wall Street investors but is his proposed solution strong enuf?
Also, he’s unfortunately in the blanket upzoning camp so w/flipper tax isn’t that 1 step fwd but 2 steps back?

.#BernieSanders2020 calls for natl rent control & that will definitely curb some speculation, but it is without vacancy control. See Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley & Santa Monica for the effects of strong rent control without vacancy control.
This has been upsetting to read. Our most vulnerable people live in social housing, yet many are treated abysmally by the very people who are allocated the responsibility for their care. 1/10

Minister Howarth is completely out of touch if he thinks there is any way to positively spin the number of people who are homeless. What an incredibly insensitive gaffe #auspol
The fact that this Minister thinks that the housing crisis only affects a small number of people is very worrying. What about the more than 118,000 people who are homeless, the 189,000 people on public housing waiting lists or the more than a million Australians in housing stress
Instead of trying to spin the homelessness problem, the Federal Government must show leadership in tackling the housing crisis by making an unprecedented investment in social and community housing.

We are calling on people to join us on the streets on #March9th to demand, yet again, meaningful action on the housing crisis. The government could begin by implementing the demands of the motion overwhelmingly supported by the Dail last October. #HomesForAll #Right2Housing
#March9th will be just one of a number of regional demonstrations over the coming months which will culminate in a national demonstration in Dublin on May 11th. #HousingCrisis #HomesForAll
#Homeless figures released by Dept for Jan show 9,987 people as officially homeless. This is a drop in the ocean compared to the true number of people impacted by #homelessness.
#HousingCrisis impacts everyone from students, Travellers, workers, families, migrants & children.
