You get the government you vote for. Enjoy it in LA.

There is no free lunch. Sooner or later, the bill comes due. Fifty years ago, my then-husband wanted us to move to California for the "free" college education. Had we settled there, we'd no doubt be in economic distress today in old age. It's like the McDonald's "Dollar Menu." They kept it going for maybe a decade, but now the price of a crappy burger meal, a few years ago just $3 from the Dollar Menu, is up to $12 in some areas, and the patties are smaller.

So now, California Democrat grifters will build cheap and ugly Soviet apartment blocks on some of the most desirable real estate lots in the U.S. Eventually, the slum project will fail, and even the ugly buildings will be too ricky-tick to save. They will have to be torn down and most of the infrastructure upgraded in order to attract people to that unique jut of land who can pay the price for the views. But it won't happen until a couple of generations of taxpayers have been soaked and thousands of officials get their skim off the cash flow.

When will Democrats learn that you can't legislate morality, nor social preferences, nor biology, nor thriving markets? You must respect nature and nature's God* if you want sustainability.

They could have gone with middle class condos and town houses but no. …..

So he wants to build an ugly, crime ridden slum. How about doing that in an area that’s already ugly rather than destroying an area with natural beauty?

They've already got enough voters on the payroll in those areas.

WHO PAYS THOSE RENTS/UTILITIES???

The direction is that Medicaid, TANF, etc will pay. Despite the problems in Walz’s MN, housing is a Medicaid issue to many Medicaid administrators. The homeless get sick due to poor housing. Medicaid will save money by providing housing to them..... That is the calculation of the left.

Yay! The poshes are gonna pay for their folly.

Newscum is dying to run everyone out of CA.

Just out of curiosity, how did the people in the burned area vote in the last Presidential election? or in the last Gubernatorial election? The last state legislative election?

I hate to say it but if they voted for Democrats, they are more or less reaping what they sowed.
