My thoughts in the @latimes today on how our city's enabling of Barrington Plaza renovictions sets a dangerous precedent. Soon the city will require rentals to undergo renovations for decarbonization-will those landlords get to displace tenants, too?

Rather than deregulate Airbnb, we should seize the thousands of vacant homes being speculatively withheld from the market. If there was ever a time to take bold action on this longstanding issue, it's now. Great piece @meagankday @jacobin

Appreciated the conversation with @JournalSpectre on LA wildfires, rent-gouging, the failure of politics, disaster capitalism, the spreadsheet, et cetera.
Hey y'all, we got a special Friday post. Our very own Maga Miranda interviews @therentbrigade's Chelsea Kirk on tenant fightback against rent gouging, disaster capitalism, and about the origins of "the Spreadsheet."

I read: “We loot LA”
A big turnout here or people holding signs saying "We House LA," some of whom told me they are apartment owners and don't support the evictions moratorium motion (which also still includes the rent freeze, since the amendment hasn't been taken up on yet)
