I don’t understand Dean’s constant self-congratulations for being a socialist.
He’s literally blocked >8,000 homes including >4,000 affordable homes on the basis of “this would look ugly next to my mansion”

Original reporting of @DeanPreston regressive legislative history by UC Berkeley:

It’s literally on the record that @DeanPreston blocked new housing after a rental landlord asked him to.
This isn’t a debate on socialism—it’s a statement that Dean consistently acts against his stated ideology and in the interest of wealthy landowners (including himself).

While blocking new housing in the district where he owns a multimillion dollar home, @DeanPreston also declared owning $400K-$4M in tech stocks.
Dean isn’t dumb: he knows these are taxed much lower than income, and not nearly as low as the ~0% on his marginal real estate wealth.

As constituents we should ask @DeanPreston why he claims to be a socialist and parrots all the slogans while running a super-effective capitalist playbook across multiple asset classes.
Although real talk, @DeanPreston, I’ll stop calling out your constant hypocrisies if you let me LP into your trusts and funds, because it looks like it’s doing amazing 🤑
