Durham! Come by Letters on April 22 to learn more about my friend @jttarleton’s new book, a (smart, engrossing!) case study of two co-op housing programs weighing the decision to privatize. I’m his layman interviewer, should be fun!

A new book by Jonathan Tarleton retraces the decisions of two Mitchell-Lama housing co-ops as residents wrestled with the question of whether to privatize. Things got tense with death threats, red-baiting, and rifts between neighbors. curbed.com/article/mitche…

A lot of people are talking these days about a "Mitchell-Lama 2.0."
Want to learn more about Mitchell-Lama? Read this excerpt from @jttarleton's new book "Homes for Living," on the battle over the privatization of Southbridge Towers in the 2010s:

A new book by @jttarleton is a gripping play-by-play of two Mitchell-Lama developments faced what an impossible decision: stay public or sell out?
In @Curbed today, we chatted about privatization, social housing, and the crisis we have found ourselves in: curbed.com/article/mitche…

@GoldinAgency @RealChalamet You’re in the intro and the index @RealChalamet, so you’ll need one for your archives 😉

Yes, we need Mitchell Lama 2.0 AND we need to preserve what we already have.
My book, HOMES FOR LIVING, out from @BeaconPressBks 2/11/25, unpacks ongoing fights to preserve Mitchell Lama housing through intimate portraits of two coops’ struggles.

.@RealChalamet has it right: We need a renewal of Mitchell-Lama housing — permanently affordable co-ops for working families (incl. artists) — to make homeownership possible for the next generation of New Yorkers. Want a mayor who will make it happen? landerfornyc.com

Impressed by the organizing of @CU4MitchellLama on another front against the privatization of social housing in NY. Article 2 to 11 = Mitchell-Lama Armageddon!

“The most crucial lesson is to ensure that housing built under these proposals is kept affordable to low- and middle-income people in perpetuity.”
Great piece from @jttarleton on building the promise of true #socialhousing into policy & governance. jacobin.com/2024/03/new-yo…

@jacobin More where this came from in my book, forthcoming from @BeaconPressBks in early 2025—Homes for Living: The Fight for Social Housing and a New American Commons.
English
With talk, again, of a Mitchell Lama 2.0 in New York's budget negotiations, we must heed the lessons from the original to push forward the more ambitious social housing policy needed to address our housing crises. My thoughts, in @jacobin.
Jacobin@jacobin
The New York state legislature is calling for the revival of Mitchell-Lama, a program that built over 160,000 affordable housing units in the mid-20th century. It’s a welcome proposal — but we need bigger ambitions for social housing policy today. jacobin.com/2024/03/new-yo…

And @jttarleton’s book on the topic, Homes for Living: The Fight for Social Housing and a New American Commons, will be out from @BeaconPressBks in 2025!

“[NY] must focus on breaking its cycle of inaction on providing affordable, high-quality housing for working-class New Yorkers. Mitchell Lama 2.0, if the lessons of 1.0 are properly heeded, is a start.” —@jttarleton in @jacobin jacobin.com/2024/03/new-yo…
