The “worker” housing turns into crime infested slums—99.9% of the time.

At some point you just have to accept reality—if you want a “nice” town you cannot subsidize this kind of housing—or allow it in your town.

If that means a shortage of local workers that is the price to be paid for safety and security.

That said—in our area we have lots of successful trades-people who live here—plumbers, carpenters, painters, electricians etc etc. They are our neighbors.

It turns out that people with needed skills who work hard can afford to live in nice areas.

California WAS once a nice place to live. We lived there in the 40s when I was a child. Now...I don’t even want to go there.

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck.”

― Robert Heinlein

That's why the title says "Bad Luck".

Oh look, a bunch of clowns who think California is full of leftists because the media and the democrats told them so.

Why don’t you sheep take the covid shot, after all Fauci said it was good for you and clearly you guys believe mainstream lies.

Sorry but blaming the voters is no different than claiming that the “voters” of this nation chose Biden
