Via @jengonnerman: “I don’t want to be cynical, but I don’t know if anybody is going to remember that during this period it was the bus operators who helped this city survive,” he said. “People have a short memory.” newyorker.com/magazine/2020/…

"It will be far costlier, in both lives and money, to reactively respond to the looming eviction crisis than to act now and prevent the problem from becoming far worse."
As @just_shelter shows, sometimes it's just a couple hundred bucks.
For @nytopinion, I wrote about Mr. Loaiza and Mrs. Hernandez, who both got COVID because of what happened in the aftermath of their eviction cases.
Mr. Loaiza has recovered from COVID but not from his eviction. Mrs. Hernandez's son remains hospitalized.

Aside from Elizabeth Warren, Democrats on the 2020 presidential trail rarely mention their ideas for housing affordability, an issue eating American cities alive, writes @fmanjoo nyti.ms/2VWFoyp

🚨🚨We already knew that HUD’s proposed rule to evict mixed-status families from subsidized housing had nothing to do with alleviating the housing crisis and everything to do with instilling fear in immigrants.
Now, we have HUD’s own words to prove it.

Today we’re launching Neighborhood Pillars - it helps non-profit & community orgs buy buildings, preserve affordability & prevent displacement!
But what does it *actually* mean to preserve affordable housing? And where exactly does Neighborhood Pillars fit in? Watch to find out: – at Manhattan, NY
"Mayor Nan Whaley thinks nothing has had as big an impact on overdose deaths as Gov. John Kasich’s decision to expand Medicaid in 2015, a move that gave nearly 700,000 low-income adults access to free addiction and mental health treatment." nytimes.com/2018/11/25/healt…

2 million people, many of them kids, would lose food aid under House bill being considered in conference committee this week per @MathPolResearch. And that doesn't include 1.2 million who would be kicked off under work requirements.

I have an immigration client whose 23 month old baby was taken from her. The government can't (or won't) tell us where he's being kept, or who is caring for him. What the hell does the government want with a toddler, other than to terrorize. #WhereAreTheChildren

"Each eviction represents a family. The negative impact of evictions on children, families, and communities is huge and lasts a long time," @meganehatch.

“Suddenly tripling anyone’s rent is unacceptable. It’s especially appalling that Secretary Carson wants to do so on people already living in extreme poverty.” washingtonpost.com/news/wonk…

This problem of eviction is about so much more than a conflict between a landlord and tenant. It's about segregation, poor housing stock, suburbs that refuse regional transit, states that refuse Medicaid, historic inequity, baffling court systems.

Arguments for community "character" have long been used to resist particular kinds of changes, often associated with race and class integration and relatedly density. Character vs affordabilty is a false choice that blurs questions of equity and inclusion. ggwash.org/view/66966/we-are…

Since we're in for another round of "economic hardship makes people racist" (false) I asked Pew for some data from a study they published a few months ago from commercial voter files, which skews whiter than the national exit poll. Note where Trump does worse with whites.

As this article makes clear, the story of public housing has never been about a failure of architecture or people, as it is often told. It has been the systematic failure of public policy to invest in helping poor people. citylab.com/equity/2018/03/t…
