It seems humans can normalize almost anything. This could have been an adaptation super-power, but instead we’ve turned it into kryptonite. 00:11:27, 2017-03-03

At least with a #Boulder #RentersCommission there would be a clear & persistent voice offering a counterpoint in the policymaking process. in reply to ZaneSelvans 11:23:59, 2017-03-01
But when #BoulderCouncil & Planning Board are consistently 100% home owners, for decades, it can be hard to do the right thing on housing. in reply to ZaneSelvans 11:22:41, 2017-03-01
Periodic city housing working groups have consistently come to similar conclusions for the last ~20 years. We’re not confused about policy. in reply to ZaneSelvans 11:21:02, 2017-03-01

13/ Members of our community who can't afford to live here are mostly excluded not b/c they’re flawed, but b/c our housing system is flawed. in reply to ZaneSelvans 09:29:21, 2017-03-01
12/ When we assume people are poor because they're flawed, we absolve ourselves from the responsibility to address systemic inequity. in reply to ZaneSelvans 09:24:49, 2017-03-01
11/ When affordable housing and public transportation are done "for the poor” instead of being functional for everyone, we lose something. in reply to ZaneSelvans 09:22:24, 2017-03-01
10/ Talking about “affordable housing” as if it is (purely) a social service is analogous to the way many US cities talk about transit. in reply to ZaneSelvans 09:20:08, 2017-03-01

8/ A huge part of income inequality in the US & especially places with high land prices is systemic and has nothing to do with individuals. in reply to ZaneSelvans 09:16:20, 2017-03-01

5/ (Actually, these folks can easily afford market rate *housing*. What they can’t afford very much of is market rate *land*.) in reply to ZaneSelvans 09:08:54, 2017-03-01
4/ In cities w/ housing shortages (like Boulder) there are many highly skilled responsible people who cannot afford market rate housing. in reply to ZaneSelvans 09:06:34, 2017-03-01
3/ There seemed to be an assumption that poor people are poor because they are somehow flawed in a way that the rich are not. in reply to ZaneSelvans 09:04:02, 2017-03-01
2/ This person suggested that having poor people live near rich people would help the poor "learn good habits” and “deal with their issues." in reply to ZaneSelvans 09:01:56, 2017-03-01
