This is not good.

Zohran Mamdani is making too many unnecessary concessions & there's no org or movement to hold him accountable for them. Concessions to the real estate market are the most alarming but the obvious, unexplained deal with Hakeem Jeffries too.
www.facebook.com/share/p/1DfU...
Lots of exciting names on Zohran's transition team coming out (genuinely huge congratulations to any acquaintances on here appointed!), but reading the Housing Team lineup today was disheartening. That sinking feeling where you hate being right about something bad happening. REBNY and lots of big developer representation. As far as I could see, nothing from any of the low-income and public housing activist groups who've fought against them. Please correct me if I'm wrong* but anyway Matt Yglesias praised the list. Grim. When the hell did socialists get so far away from public housing and so close to developers?? For the love of god, "Social Housing" in Red Vienna was not about YIMBYism and private development. It was LITERALLY mixed-income PUBLIC housing. But unfortunately the term "social housing" is the new "affordable housing," meaning it's a meaningless stretchy phrase people can use to brand themselves progressive while masking regressive policies. Housing is a human right! It should not be a commodity to be traded away, like our lives and sanity to the owning class. Fight for public housing. Say the phrase, and say it proud. Everyone deserves the right to live in a decent home. And every socialist should fight for that. *Edit to Add: Reviewing the list, CAAAV is on here, which is one pro-public-housing group, out of a couple dozen other mostly pro or mixed-to developer spots. CAAAV tho here is genuinely good. NYCC is there and while they're great in other ways, keeping NYCHA section-9 is mixed-record for them. And obviously normally i'd love SEIU representation, but on the question of big developers in the city, they often fall on the bad side of this equation. People outside of New York City often really don't realize how much Real Estate runs the town -- but people in new york should not overlook this question. I hope folks are ready to pressure their new mayor from the left on this issue!

Ossi is not a good candidate to challenge Jeffries, weak but also a YIMBY (which seems to be where Zohran is headed too, which calls into question the solidity of not just his left credentials but his grasp of economics). And yes, it would take all of DSA's limited resources to primary Jeffries

This is one of the inherent problems with democratic (as opposed to full) socialism - it's too often got the roots of liberal squish in it. This is how you get YIMBYs - who are just an arm of market real estate - inside the DSA.

So sorry to hear of Mickey's passing, from what sounds like cardiac issues compounded by the flu.

Condolences to her family & friends as they make their way thru the loss of someone so young.

I shall think of her now when I get my yearly flu shot and hope this community will do the same.

RIP
Mickey from BB27
