You have, but not 100,000 illegals entering each month. It's a magnitude problem.
Now we get told that we have always had the homeless and that we are exaggerating that problem.
You have, but the magnitude is substantially worse now than it was decades ago.
And we are told that the astronomical price of SoCal real estate has no connection to the flood of foreign buyers that local realtors have been talking about for a decade.
You need to read more closely. No one is saying that foreign buyers don't affect real estate prices. All that's said is that high real estate prices in CA compared to average real estate prices in the US has always been higher.
If past is prologue our outside experts will magically cease making those claims in a few more years.
They weren't making the claims in the first place...see above.
“It’s a magnitude problem.”
“but the magnitude is substantially worse now “
I seem to notice a pattern.
We passed Prop 187 in 1994 because in California we already knew how serious illegal immigration had become.
Glad you managed to catch up, even though you feel it necessary to pretend that we exaggerated the issue for decades and it’s only recently become a problem worthy of notice. At least we managed to defeat a 2nd amnesty when Bush jr was pushing it.
I expect that homelessness and real estate costs for California natives will get the same dismissive treatment, until it’s announced that the “magnitude” of the issue has grown sufficiently large to acknowledge it exists, even though it’s already here in spades.
