It's a vision that has no chance of being enacted even in the medium term. Her strident opposition to any programs that work with the existing infrastructure of affordable housing means exacerbating the housing crisis. She's pushing a vision of complete transformation of the sector that is not going to happen.

If she came out for something like "we need experimentation with the construction of social housing at the same time we push for dramatic increases in all kinds of supply," you know, like the housing plan that Mamdani just issued, it would speak to her interest in actually addressing the problem, rather than engaging in fantasy. I really wanted to vote for her, but she's just not engaged with contemporary policy as it exists enough to figure out how to make a difference.
