"Hey, they voted for it. Embrace the suck!
Yep, that's the problem with representative democracy, the voters only have themselves to blame. And Cali is a one party state now.

"California, the shi! house of America. And getting worst.
And just think, a few years ago every kid in America was "California Dreamin' with the Sun, surf and skiing just a few minutes away and all those beautiful women.
Now, only the illegals want to get to "Calizuela" where the Socialist will welcome them to the new ruins.

"is Newsom just suing nonsanctuary cities? where does the state constitution mandate that every community must have low-income housing?
I'm not a Californian so my best guess is he's knocking down his weakest opportents districts(the last remaining GOP)

My guess as well.

"If they merely ended zoning, the way Houston and a number of other cities never had it, affordable housing would zoom with none of the complicated, sweetheart deal mandates
We know that won't happen under Democrat rule.

“It’s a start.”
It’s more than a start, RedMongey, it’s a Jeffersonian state revolution.
Nailing broadsheets to trees starts a thousand brushfires that the weenie leftists can’t control. It belittles these fascists and shows that California patriots control the high ground outside the leftist cities. Hanging broadsheets creates fear among leftists when they realize they can’t control free speech nailed to trees.

"f you build affordable housing in high value neighborhoods, you bring down the value of those houses and lose your tax base to people who cant pay taxes..
Yep, put a pig sty next to Beverly Hills and property values go down. So simple but even a Democrat can't understand it.

I believe there’s an artist already making art deriding the Left in LA and other cities.
I’m in Tennessee with no real connections with the former Golden State, so sorry.

I'm very ignorant about Cali politics but I do get the cultural references every once in a while but, alas much of it is stuck in the sixties and seventies.
So I was unintentionally funny(this time) (Grins)
