  • disclaimer: nothing is really progressive without the dictatorship of the proletariat

    You’re on the right track. I’d say regarding low-income development in capitalism, it can be progressive if it’s not a concentration of poverty but instead used to create income-diverse neighborhoods. That could be building low income developments in medium to high income neighborhoods. It could be mandating a meaningful portion of units within medium to high income buildings be allocated to low income or public housing. It needs strong enforcement from housing agencies, equal maintenance investment, and a way to absolutely negate the political influence of nimbys (you don’t get these things without a DotP or at least very powerful socialist movement).
