Hey Folks, I have an opportunity here very soon to have some say in the affordable housing situation in my town (we’ll see). While I read over the planning and studies the town has already done, I’d like to get a sense of the field for what effective policy looks like, what current left thinking on the matter is.

I don’t know what I don’t know, you know? Obviously, any advocacy I do will need to be a synthesis of the conditions of the place I live and whatever current leading thinking is on the matter, while dealing with the limitations of liberal democracy. I figured this was a good place to ask.
