Here’s how you can support the land defenders in Lochiel, AZ. Some had already been previously arrested for the tree-sit protest and now they’re going to need our support more than ever. We all know how this regime treats dissent.

Super interesting research validating the perspective that, to make housing affordable and let people live where they want, we need to both build way more housing and build in protections for current tenants of neighborhoods ripe for gentrification.
Newly published housing research! We find that the effects of new construction on rents varies by the quality of the existing housing. In the first 5 years rents went up 4.4% near low quality buildings and went down 1.7% near high quality buildings (1/x) 🧵
