Soviet style skyrises are coming and it’s no joke, workerbees.

While I have strength in my trigger finger,no one is taking my land without casualties.

I think we need to break this down into a new development for at least 2500 homes.

I think the owner is the type of person who would really like the idea.

“The right to own personal property was enshrined by the founders of this country because they understood that it was a crucial tool in maintaining personal freedom.”

When this country was founded the only voters were the taxpayers of the day - property owners. Now young working people realize that owning a home may not be worth the tax burden and loss of mobility in a job market that has workers following jobs like nomads - especially as employers flee heavy local tax burdens.

The left has timed this well in the sense that there is little demand for single-family homes with a young demographic who have no intention of breeding; few of them even see the need for off-street parking for private vehicles they will never own.

I guess “do it for the children” as a wedge for communism has worn out. These people never learn.

ps.

The Donald threatens to intervene in the CA “homeless” problem. Clearing the streets of vagrants, arresting drug users and institutionalizing the mentally ill will go over big.

I agree. No one escapes unscathed from my wrath which will involve defense of my hard earned home ownership.

I keep asking, Why are those Marxists and I include all the Pelosi and Biden and AOC, fans, etc., not considered traitors? If they don’t like our Constitution, Bill of Rights, surely they know other countries that do not have such protections and would be better suited for their political beliefs....

Or, is it conceivable,we are already for the coup that destroys us...the one, you know, that sends us to the concentration camps. I would almost bet we are...well, that is actually how I spent my early years, in a concentration camp run by the Japanese. We’ve already forgotten that, right?

There’s a way to take the global warming issue off the table. Start installing next generation nuclear reactors, replacing aging coal plants.

ThorCon and others have low risk designs that don’t need water cooling, and can be sited underground. Virtually no land use (compared to giant solar and wind farms), safe from meltdown and airplane strike, and cheap. Yes, cheap. The modular designs aren’t one-off construction projects, they’re intended to be mass-produced and transported to the site intact.

Intermittent solar and wind require backup, and also extensive grid modification as their contribution rises. Nuclear has neither issue.

By embracing this approach, the Republicans could completely neutralize the global warming issue. Nuclear is the only realistic way to heavily cut CO2 emissions from electric generation, and there’s really no downside. In fact, this would create many new American jobs.

Even better, there’s no need to cut back on our lifestyle or technological progress. Plentiful and cheap power is absolutely a must for the future.

By taking leadership on this issue, we take away one of the few reality-based issues the Dems have. In fact, the Republicans would have the only realistic plan. It would be a giant win!

“they” have figured out “homeowners” vote Red....renters vote Blue.

Its that simple in their little minds

[Westbrook]

Excellent and thoughtful post!

The right to own personal property was enshrined by the founders of this country

Individual rights (including right to private property) are absolutes. They are real goods, objective values, right desires, and necessary needs for life proper to a rational being. They are inalienable and are possessed by all individuals. A social system that respects, protects, and defends rights is also a real good.

[Fred Hayek]

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Anyone else find it odd that those who have more influence, wealth, property, and power spend so much of their time looking for excuses for those who have less, to have even less?

Kian Goh,

Vanity. This is all about you feeling good about being a hero of the planet. Look at me, look at me! It’s my turn to be worshiped! I am so valiant, I am so brave, so smart.

Short sighted nonsense. You will have to deprive Americans of their God given right to own firearms before you can deprive them of their house.

Of course, I just might be entertained to see a video of you trying to evict someone without taking their guns away first.

Oh, someone else will do the evicting? Coward. Evil bloody coward. Climate Change is a hoax, a con game.

“Individual rights (including right to private property) are absolutes. “

Don’t pay your property tax this year and see how absolute your ownership is.

We live in a suburb of Austin. At least 99% of the homeless people that I see in Austin are white, not minority.

The original wording of the US Constitution was The right to the pursuit of life, liberty and property. It was from a state constitution. When the US Constitution was written that last word was changed to Happiness.

I learned this at an exhibit at the Library of Congress.

I don’t remember which state, maybe Virginia...

Who said life liberty and the pursuit of property?
“The pursuit of happiness” is the most famous phrase in the Declaration of Independence. Conventional history and popular wisdom attribute the phrase to the genius of Thomas Jefferson when in an imaginative leap, he replaced the third term of John Locke’s trinity, “life, liberty, and property.”

Why did Jefferson change “property” to the “pursuit of happiness ...

I realized this when the owners of single family beach front homes fought like crazy to keep condos from being developed near them. They pulled every trick they could think of to keep them out, mostly environmental reasons. It was okay for people who could afford a million dollar home to live on the beach, but not for people who could only afford a quarter million dollar condo.
