The only reason you can't afford to live in your dream house is because the big money owning class is hoarding it. Speculators are the problem. Fuck this system!

I'm no crazed radical, but if I could drive wealthy non-resident #Toronto (and further afield) real estate investors out of #Hamilton, #Ontario and then tax the hell out of urban rental income earned by non-resident owners? I'd totally do it. #RightToTheCity #CitiesForPeopleNotProfits

How can we create affordable and sustainable cities run by the people who inhabit them? That question is at the heart of Andrew Lee's new book "Defying Displacement: Urban Recomposition and Social War," which offers a fresh analysis of gentrification from the perspective of the people fighting it!
On Monday, February 26th we're excited to host Andrew Lee with Vicky Osterweil (author of "In Defense of Looting") for a conversation on the possibilities for urban liberation and revolt. Andrew participated in a multi-year fight against the construction of a Google campus in San José, California that culminated in the creation of the first community land trust in the so-called Silicon Valley. He currently lives in Philadelphia and is a managing editor at The Anti-Racism Daily.
Register for this free event, and grab a copy of "Defying Displacement," at https://firestorm.coop/events/3160-how-to-stop-gentrification.html. Not sure if you can make the event? Sign up anyway and you'll receive a link to the recorded conversation when we post it!

Continued thread
This is probably a good point in the thread to note that the cause of keeping, or really winning, a #RightToTheCity in #Minneapolis could really use a #communications #volunteer who is not me. About to get to the important part of what i've needed to post for the past two days…
Replied in thread
The city of #Minneapolis intends to drive unhoused people from exercising the #RightToTheCity even if it kills them (which it does).
Aside from needless death and suffering of people who are not you, housed reader, the neoliberal need to deny good things to people without property or income impacts you, also, in the lack of contingency plans to keep everyone safe during a massive blizzard.
Power goes out to half the city, and furnaces no longer work? No plan.
Continued thread
Already accidentally leaving off "nonprofit" landholders like CommonBond from that list.
People without the means to buy into, and stay in, the housing or rental markets are being denied the right to exist in Minneapolis right now.
If we have to push a beg button to cross a street... Can we then at least decide what we beg for?
