Correction/clarification: I didn't mean to suggest that (a) and (b) necessarily happen in that order. Public housing and power would invert the sequence: debt first, then whoops we can't actually service this debt with existing revenue.

Rabhi's comments at Monday's forum should alarm #a2council voters.
Every central plank of his platform--housing, public power, in-sourcing staff work--is unfunded, and Rabhi's plan to pay for it all is literally (a) hope it pays for itself, and when it doesn't (b) load the city up with debt.
"Classes struggle to mix well."
I'll let you decide how to interpret this comment by #a2council candidate Rebecca Arends: as an argument against including affordable units in market-rate housing projects, or an as argument in support of exclusionary zoning writ large. Either way: A doozy.
