I think there are two issues they have, one of which I agree with:
1) We should support and rely upon state assistance, not charity.
2) Religious organizations present an inherent level of risk, have a special tax status and must be constrained.
- api 8y agoThese are valid points in isolation, but they ignore the meta problem which is that policies backed by communities all over California have created an unprecedented housing affordability crisis. Without this crisis this just wouldn't be happening at all. I think it is deeply and systematically hypocritical to claim to be "liberal" and for "social justice" while supporting a restriction of housing availability that amounts to stealth red-lining.
