I think that United States public policy has done a really, really, really good job of pitting cash poor homeowners and working class homeowners and middle class homeowners against renters.

And we need to figure out how to navigate that as organizers.

It's really quite difficult, right?

Because like, yes, Blackstone is a bigger and worse target than like,

you know, Mrs. Smith, who owns 15 buildings, but Mrs. Smith, who owns 15 buildings still like kind of sucks and has a lot more stability than renters.

And there's more of them than there are of the Blackstones.

And so it's just like this challenging dynamic that white middle class homeowners are a huge problem for our renter justice movement.

Great Light?

Great Darkness?

Such things mattered to me then.

You, nephew.

The sword of the High King.

How many lives must be lost before you accept the power you were born to wield?

So cling to the promises of a god who has abandoned you.

You know what you must do.

I think the reality is that for centuries, we've really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good.

And transitioning to treating it as a collective good and towards a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently.

And it will mean that families, especially white families, but some POC families who are homeowners as well,

are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have.
