@adrianpatnod idk but same, for sure

Utterly and thouroughly convinced the worst thing you can do to your faith is tie your income to it.

Again, not all the details are in -- but what I'm trying to say is that this news is *surprising*. As I wrote in my feature, we've seen 5 decades, more or less unbroken, of privatization and demolition of public housing.

Another reason, quite clearly, is the truly impressive and sustained local resistance to the demolition of the public housing development. San Antonians, West Siders in particular, really just wouldn't shut up: texasobserver.org/san-antonio-pu…

There are a couple of stated reasons. One is the inauguration of the Biden administration. The housing authority says it's hearing that new money will now open up for public housing, lessening the pressure to pursue privatization and tax credits.

The details aren't all clear. But you'll see they're pledging to maintain or increase the number of public housing units. They're going to keep control of the development rather than privatizing ownership/management. This is basically a 180 turnaround for the agency.

Today something kind of wild is happening. After years of community pushback, the San Antonio Housing Authority is cancelling a proposed partnership with a private developer that would've led to the loss of hundreds of units of public housing:

Ok yall. So last year I wrote a feature about a fight over public housing in San Antonio. It may seem like a local concern, but it embodies all the national dynamics of gentrification & cannibalization of New Deal-era investmests by the private sector... texasobserver.org/public-housing…

@jk_rowling It’s not that sex isn’t REAL, it’s that “woman” or “man” means more than biological sex. So to make a general statement about “women” that excludes some women—specifically trans women—isn’t accurate and ignores the trans men who may need to be included.

If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction. If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives. It isn’t hate to speak the truth.

@SSDTcommish @Ron_Nirenberg How they contracted the virus is under investigation. They’ve already tested positive, we just don’t yet know how it spread to those people.

@Ron_Nirenberg Why are those under investigation being counted in the numbers?
