The membership of Denver DSA has voted to endorse a “NO on 2O” position - denying the developers the ability to execute a plan that we think is ultimately a loss for the city.

“Should we trust a private developer to provide timely results with no guarantees/mandates by the government”
And
“How can the state take back the land and let the community decide what to do with the land without interference?”
The liberals say that DSA wants perfection and as a result, is anti housing. But the DSA just wants the government to do the same thing as the liberals, except without a developer leading the project. Someone will make millions of dollars regardless, but liberals think the DSA is deluded enough to want housing built under capitalism with 0 profit motive involved lol.
Seems kinda complex to me, I think I'd come down on the NO position though.
It boils down to

Exactly, which is why I think I'd side with DSA on this one.
Like, it's a difficult situation entirely but when you MUST take one of several shit positions it's the better one.
