Guy at bar: sup man Me: we're in a housing crisis because public housing was killed in the 80s by for-profit interests who didn't want competition from the government. Subsidies for landlords and developers don't work. We need mixed-income social housing or we'll all be homeless

“They’re going to tell us in 2-3 years that there aren’t any residents left... There will still be a facility & a huge budget. So why the heck not just take the opportunity to create a plan to close it for good?” #CloseLongCreek @Rep_Morales @maine_youth https://t.co/7J0SlxJg0t
Maine already had some of the least affordable rents before the pandemic, forcing Portland to adopt rent stabilization last year. We must prevent more homelessness as developers profit by turning our communities into commodities. https://t.co/v6ifMNe9R2
It's time to close Long Creek and invest in things that support youth and prevent crime – like housing, healthcare, and education. Read our letter in today's @PressHerald. @maine_youth #CloseLongCreek #MEPolitics https://t.co/yRawmyouH0
In the US, public housing has been as stigmatized as it has been racialized. This affordable #HousingCrisis requires that we think differently about how we do housing in #Maine and across the country. It's time to look abroad for clues: #HousingForAll https://t.co/oDxchyE22j
It's exciting to welcome new people to the state from all walks of life, and we must work to preserve the tight knit communities for which Maine is known. Building permanently affordable housing through a community housing developer will help. #Dirigo https://t.co/EpPMebeIhg
@SykesWriter Tell the city that when they adjust the mill rates to consider that non-owner occupied AirBnBs and other short term rentals are in fact income properties and should be taxed accordingly. The re-evaluation process did not take short-term rentals into consideration.
This is unacceptable. If the federal government won't protect renters in their homes, the state must. The legislature must pass LD 1255, which would suspend evictions through the end of the pandemic. #EvictionBan #HousingCrisis #MEPolitics @MaineSocialist https://t.co/d2EWRvRW6t
I ran for office because I didn't think there was enough representation in Augusta for renters. If passed, this bill will help keep a roof over the heads of thousands of Mainers in the coming months. #EvictionsBan #HousingForAll #mepolitics @ForMainers https://t.co/0o6KEokoUe
It is inhumane to evict a person in a pandemic. That's why I've introduced an emergency bill to halt #evictions until 90 days after the declared state of emergency. #housingcrisis #evictionsban #housingisahumanright #MEPolitics https://t.co/MIps2TUyr6
