Alex Baca: “I don’t think that acknowledging that housing intersects with other issues in different ways for different people means every single other issue needs to be addressed, immediately, all of the time. This is simply not a workable strategy when your job is changing, and improving, public policy, as mine is.”
What Alex Baca is saying is, just build housing. That's the policy. We don't need to talk about who it benefits (developer funders) and who it harms (long time DC rez). We don't need to talk about displacement. We don't need to talk about planning for schools overcrowding, cuts to public transportation, over capacity sewers, etc.
