So-called “inclusionary zoning” is an attempt to outsource a key state responsibility—providing subsidized housing to poor people—to private for-profit actors so the state does not have to raise and spend tax money. It is profoundly neoliberal policy.

And lefties also hate construction professionals like drafters, structural engineers, plumbers, electricians, and architects just to name a few lines of work.
