"Gavin, you need to sue Paradise, CA for the same reason.”

What's so special about Paradise City(I'm not familiar with California politics, just read the headlines and brace for it to come my way)

"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.

Nothing’s going to stop him now that it is a one party state.

"we need a good plague and a world population of a few hundred million tops. 2 million is too many for California.”

With drug resistant bacteria increasing and state run medicine gaining popularity, innovation in new meds will be "cost prohibited", you may get "your" plaque.

"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)

"Probably targeting Congressional districts they want to pack with more welfare Democrats, to take over.”

My guess as well.

"Malibu next?"

Maybe... Is it a GOP stronghold?”

"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.

"This is slumification... Because that’s what Rats do.”

That's socialism. Spread the misery, not the cure.

“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 can’t 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)

Kali must really be paradise if things are so good that this is a priority.

"Mark to RedMonqey Sorry- late response. Paradise is the city totally destroyed by fire 2 months ago”

May be prophetic.
