Extremely unsurprising. The ascendent left in NYC (where Chapo is very influential) seems to be hell-bent on emulating the San Francisco progressives& #39; failed housing policies that substitute the aesthetic preferences of gentrifiers for policies that produce affordability. https://twitter.com/dmtrubman/status/1301860053088169985">https://twitter.com/dmtrubman...
