(Did search, didn't pop up even using catch phrases.)Oh, 'associate' professor. Now had it been a tenured professor, I'd still ignore it. Yet another chunk of evidence that attaining a degree in "higher" edumacation does NOT automatically include salient thought processes. The prof should stop by my place so we can discuss its ideas. That should be fun. Or, is the prof just PO'd due to not being able to find affordable housing near UCLA.

The thing is that the Millennials are already eschewing home ownership for apartments, so why the rush to kick older people out of their homes?

“If we want to keep cities safe in the face of climate change, we need to seriously question the ideal of private homeownership,”

Sounds like we should make this the Law of the Land and Immediately Require that ALL Employee's at UCLA should be required to SELL their existing homes and move in to Apartments in Compton or South Central as a Term of their Employment, to 'Save the Planet" of course

Florida has 10 Regional Planning Councils that are the gate keepers for the individual county land use plans for Florida’s 67 counties. While serving as chairperson for our county’s first comprehensive land use plan I had a brutal awakening to the mind/attitude of a modern day land “planner”. These are some scary people. They absolutely despise the concept of private property rights. In Florida they already have waaaayyy too much power.

As long as a county is governed by a conservative majority there is some braking ability to the planning council’s “natural” tendency to steam roll over the private property rights of the citizens of that county. But, for liberal governed counties, God help them.

The sad thing is that the local media either cares nothing about the erosion of private property rights, or they are in on it, because you will never read or see anything about it in the media.

There are people living on rural lands in Florida today that do not realize their sad situation, due to their media not informing them. But, one day they will be shocked to learn that due to their home’s “grandfather” status from being sited on “non conforming” use lands (nothing wrong with the land, but the planners want to eliminate homes within “deemed” agricultural areas and force people into “clusters”) they will be denied any future remodeling or reconstruction permits. Then, since the homes can not be kept up the homes ultimately will be condemned and destroyed. Nice. This is already happening, but again the media do not report it so the people have no idea. Frog...pan...hot water.

This is why some college “professors” need to be beaten with clubs until they scream.

Here it is! This illustrates that the left’s end goal is the elimination of private property - seizing anything you own. That is the first plank of communism.

by “private ownership” leftists mean “private property”.

The Big Brother socialist state they pine for is incompatible with private ownership of anything including land, housing, transportation, weapons, food, wages, income and other wealth.

Private ownership equals freedom and independence.

The manufactured climate scare is just the latest tool (scam) that leftists have devised to do away with constitutional freedoms and bring us all onto the socialist plantation.

“we may only have a dozen years to contain global warming,” as shown by destructive California wildfires in recent months and “precautionary power shutoffs” by utility companies.”

Easily fixed with a chainsaw and a wood chipper.
How do “precautionary power shutoffs” add to
global warming?

I wonder by what mechanism the sun regulates its fusion reaction by the percentage of paid off mortgages on earth and what the other planets think about it...

Privater property is antithetical to communism, which is what all globalists espouse (whatever name they use to try to conceal it), and possibly the most important element of liberty and freedom.

Thats all there is to it.

another Yale idiot who will never grasp the concept of western civilization being based on private land ownership and God-given individual rights of self-determination.
