We need the opposite: abundant, affordable housing that's there when you need it. Housing is a human right; homes are for people not profit. That’s why we fight for social housing: a public option for permanently affordable, democratically controlled homes for all New Yorkers. ⬇️

Our housing crisis isn't an accident. It's the result of decades of racist policies designed to keep certain people out while extracting wealth for a select few. Landlords and investors treat homes like stocks — something to hoard, flip, and profit from. ⬇️

What’s RADICAL about DSA’s HOUSING agenda in New York? 🧵
New Yorkers know the truth: the most radical thing about housing in New York is that there’s too little of it, and it costs too damn much. ⬇️
