@prevailingsentiment: North NJ DSA wants you to subsidize the rents of rich guys with golf simulators. They looked around this city for the greatest need and decided its people willingly paying $5,000 a month in rent. People whose amenities include pools, hot tubs, saunas, pickle ball courts, and golf simulators. People who make $200,000 a year. Meanwhile, working-class residents are struggling with rising rents, the cost of living, and the threat of being priced out of the city they call home. Who is this housing policy actually supposed to serve? This Thursday, the City Council has an opportunity to hear directly from residents about this proposal. Don't let special interests and developers be the loudest voices in the room. Show up. Make your voice heard. Register to speak at Thursday's City Council meeting and tell our elected officials whose interests they should be representing: the residents who actually need affordable housing.

can I see the rest of the original video to verify your claim? I don't use insta, and it's not that I think you're lying, but there's highlighted area is the entirety of Jersey City, which notably (especially in ward F where I live) is low income/high rent. No other cities on the map are labeled, so I'm not sure this is what the video is proposing.

It should literally be the exact opposite. Downtown (and maybe heights soon) taxes should be subsidizing development in Bergen Lafayette and Greenville.

This is a somewhat disingenuous take on things because it’s ignoring the main reason they’re advocating for this policy and it’s not exactly the zero sum game you’re articulating. Those luxury apartments also included carve out for lower cost affordable units. Developers had to agree to offer those to get perks that they wanted to entice them to build here. The protections would help those families and units stay in their units at these much more reasonable rates compared to being suddenly forced to pay what the market rate for those units are now.

Do you think this is actually going to hit your target audience in a positive way? What is the demographic of NJ homeowners that use TikTok that you’re trying to reach?
