Check out @aletafor3, for another #UBI candidates who's brave enough to call out racism.
I prefer a plain LVT as a cleaner funding policy for it, but her funding policy is somewhat similar to it.
This policy is awkward, though, @Aletafor3.
"Work to fill vacant units before approving new high rises that drive up rent prices for everyone."
More housing supply actually lead to higher vacancy and lower housing cost.
You want more housing.
Please read:
More room vacancy means that there is more competition among suppliers, encouraging them to lower the rent.
It would also mean more suitable places for people to rent as there would be more options to choose between, which also reduce traffic (ppl can find places closer to work).
Love the rest though. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Policy thread. 1. People's Bank of NYC.
Initially funded with a $100 million loan by the city, this will bank the roughly 1 million unbanked/underbanked New Yorkers.
It would also provide small business loans and funding.
There are other services provided.

3. The 'warning' policy is actually to allow police to just take notes for it to count as work, rather than having to arrest people to fill quota.
This would reduce arrests.
The idea is from @EdwinRaymondNYC, a famous NYPD reformer.
Now that @AndrewYang is freed from hectic campaigning, it's the best time for him to spend time with family, build new connections/agreements, consider what went wrong and how he could do better, feel the pulse/listen to input from ppl, remap his future, etc. #YangGang
His next organization/venture could adopt a public issue discussion/tracker to help us recommend #PoliciesForYang, start trials/pilots for some of his policies while helping people, and build a relationship w/ local/congressional/presidential candidates, to prepare for 2024.
There are many projects that could be done too. Spreading his book to schools, etc would be great. Creating an organization that provides service, while spreading the humanity-first values/policies, unity, and abundance mindset could be great too.
