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.

#a2Council
"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.
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.
