Today in Fascism

Two fucking mush brains representing the libtard party. I wonder if AOC the donkey feels left out. Great job, Pennsylvania. Kick that learned physician to the curb... he doesn't know shit. You're much better off with a trust fund baby Klingon, who had a stroke because he was fat, running things.

 
"and guess what... and guess what... that the the... that bridge was rebuilt... less than a year... well well in front of time. He's going to work with the governor and the delegadation." Yeah, that's Fettertard the Klingon. Don't get all dressed up for "President", John. This IS the libtard party.


 
Newsom is the first major Democrat in decades to have any understanding of the economics of housing. 99% of them want to take your tax dollars. Newsom is forcing your city to issue building permits.

Yell at him for everything else if you like, but his housing policy is neoclassical, not Marxist.
Do you recall his promise about ending homelessness when he was running for Mayor of San Francisco?

So your banner leader is Newsome?
 
Happy Juneteenth to the oppressed victims.


It's the gun's fault. Ban guns right @espola ?!
I'm willing to bet the shooters were already convicted felons who shouldn't be in possession of any firearms but it didn't stop them did it?
Maybe a 60-day waiting period will make people safer. (Insert sarcasm..that's directed at you again @espola since I know you have a hard time
comprehending some of the things others post.)

Can you find any message of mine where I called for banning guns?

What would you call your 2A thread? All you did was post links to articles where somebody was injured or killed. Not one article of anything positive such as youths participating in firearms training or competing in some sort of shooting sport. Yeah..go ahead and play dumb and post it again.
"Where did I post anything about banning guns?" You're so full of crap and we all know it. Go back to playing with your Nerf guns. Leave the real firearms to the responsible law-abiding citizens..and their kids.

It seems that in this intellectual desert, the only response to things I have posted is to pretend that I posted something else.

Yes. Newsom’s housing policies while in SF were not at all effective.

Back then, he was a typical progressive. Promise people you will help the poor by spending large amounts of SOM, but never actually think too hard about what works and what does not.

His current policy is quite different. It actually tries to attack the cause of the problem. I’d prefer a more conservative set of solutions, but the CA GOP has been as useless as the left on this. Revoking CEQA without changing zoning won’t do jack shit, and any decent conservative economist knows it.
 
So your banner leader is Newsome?
No. Unlike most posters here, I see no need to be a partisan fanboy.

It’s possible for me to like half of his actions and dislike the other half. I like his rezoning policy, but dislike his support for housing subsidies. He supports far too much borrowing, but at least he was willing to kill high speed rail.

Newsom is a mixed bag. Some good, some bad.

He hasn't done anything at this point.

From Politico.


This is all hypothetical for now. The only immediate action the governor took Friday was signing an executive order launching a “strike team” meant to work across state agencies on infrastructure projects. The 11 pieces of legislation, which will be introduced as budget trailer bills, will require negotiating with his colleagues on the other side of N Street.

We should also note that these proposals don’t include any fast tracking for houses, which are in critically low supply in California. Asked about the omission Friday, Newsom said he’s proud of progress made thus far, and he’s looking forward to working with legislators on new efforts this year — though he declined to endorse any specific bills.

If by rezoning you mean SB6 which allows commercial property to be converted to residential property without going through the rezoning process, you have to understand that that requires the use of prevailing wage on those developments. That might result in some new housing, but it will be far from affordable. SB6 is more about getting higher wages for construction workers than addressing the housing crisis.

I was referring to the administrative decision to not certify bogus housing elements. Not hypothetical at all.

You’re right that there will be no legislative progress. The core of the party here is rich liberals. They are happy to spend money, but don’t you dare put a duplex on their street.

Not SB6. Prevailing wage is a tax paid to the building and trades council. The mode definition makes it worse.

I am talking about housing elements. Just use the builder’s remedy to force cities to rezone.

I’d be happy if the right would take this up. Basic property rights say that if you own land you should be able to do something with it, so the right ought to have useful ideas on rolling back excessive zoning regulations. But the right in CA is just as NIMBY as the left.
