Been getting asked a lot about the 5,383 housing policies & terminology circulating the internets in the past few weeks due to #COVID19...Gonna try & quickly highlight what's been done/what's happening on nat'l, MA, local level + few highlights from other states as well. (1/many) I’m sure I’ll miss things--been a lot-- so comment to add! Anyway: ICYMI nearly 10 MILLION PEOPLE filed unemployment in past 2 weeks. This is going to be very bad. We’ve all been calling out housing/displacement/eviction/homeless crisis for yrs bc it’s already been so dire…

.@wutrain says “what’s been happening hasn’t been working” and if it doesn’t change, we’ll be a city without families, a city that isn’t equal for everyone. “We’re not short on resources, or expertise...this is a problem of political will” #mapoli #bospoli .@wutrain adds she was an Econ major so she was told all these warnings about rent control & that supply and demand will work out, but that’s not how she’s seen it work in the last several years at City Hall; she’s in support & it’s clear we need rent control
