Exactly.

San Francisco is an odd case, of course, since they really can’t build much more- both because of earthquakes and infrastructure.

I’m quite OK with anyone wanting to move INTO California having to pony up a couple of million; keeps the (additional) riff-raff out.

Having lived in the same house for 49 years, I just don’t give a damn about housing prices.

Remove about 5 million who are not supposed to be here and affordable housing with magically appear. Econ 101.

Google “Section 8 Housing” in your city/county. Federal housing law requires at least one citizen per housing unit, but provides $$ for up to eight people per unit. This is legacy executive action by Hussein called The Affordable Fair Housing plan that’s being exploited by illegals.

“..Beverly Hills is right next door, why no lawsuit there?...”

They would rather have poor, uneducated illegal aliens in Commiefornia anyway.

$600k for a tiny house built from a shipping container? Here in Tennessee near Nashville that will get you a very nice 3000 sq ft lakefront home.

The problem with that is they flee to red states and screw them up, too.

Apartment complexes destroy the commons.

Roads are ruined but nobody pays.

I would love to see examples where congestion is reversed, and not just city dead zones.

Government should be mandated to haul away concrete and rebar. Then the dead zones should be returned to grass and trees with a ban on rebuilding.

"Beverly Hills is right next door, why no lawsuit there?”

They vote "Democrat" I'd guess.

Very true but given the right policies in land use, 3 million could be suited nicely. Hong Kong has done it with more yet less real estate.

Yeah because Hollywood is renowned for their integrity

"Google “Section 8 Housing” in your city/county.”

Don't have to google it. Although where I live is comparably small, we have plenty of Section 8 housing and it's ruined plenty of once good, affordable (and safe)housing tracts.

Got one just down the road and we've heard more sirens at all time of day in an once rural setting.

We're not in the city limits yet but I hope to keep out of the city til I die

“California is suing one of its own cities for not allowing the construction of enough affordable places to live...”

Government control of private property for the good of the state was one of Hitler’s primary tenets in governance.

So, let’s do a bit of basic logic:

Gavin Newsom wants government to control private property for the good of the state just like Hitler; therefore, Gavin Newsom is a Nazi.

Start nailing broadsheets on trees like our founders, California patriots, and destroy the Nazi Newsom. It’s a risk-free action anyone can entertain.

"Every demonrat elected official should be required to rent out the room next to their daughter’s room.” in your city/county.”

Yep, but to quote from Boss Tweed in "Gangs of New York"

"That will only happen in the reign of Queen Dick"

Very good? Well, it won't be if Gavin gets his way. Buh bye, California Dream!

"Wait! Wait! There is not enough affordable housing in Beverly Hills!!”

Everything's affordable in Beverly Hills. Everything can be bought.... for a price.
