Responding to
Cea Weaver’s “impoverish the white middle class” and homeownership remarks
"what happens when the state tries to disarm that weapon? We are about to find out."

She invokes Weaver by name and rejects the framing and policies she associates with it; the post is criticism of the broader housing rhetoric rather than a separate response to the 2018 imperative.

Paragraph naming Cea Weaver near the end of the original post

Tandler links Weaver's language about housing and white supremacy to Tandler's own argument against New York rent stabilization. Claims about housing deterioration and future consequences are her argument, not independently established findings. The post addresses Weaver's broader housing rhetoric rather than quoting the separate 2018 imperative about the white middle class.
