Abstract

In many parts of the country, rising rents have hit a political limit, as politicians, unions, and community organizations increasingly recognize the centrality of housing to the cost-of-living crisis. New York State's 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act, San Francisco's 2022 collective bargaining ordinance for tenants, and Los Angeles's 2022 "mansion tax" represent new forces in local politics—and alternative bases for the struggle over power within our society. These initiatives use the state to reshape the business models and ownership patterns pushing workers and their families further away from their jobs, into smaller, more expensive living situations.
