I dunno, maybe we should all just come together and figure out a workable form of Costa-Hawkins reform and a workable form of SB 827 that has special protections for low-income census tracts. We have serious problems! Climate change! Affordability! Population growth! Immigration!https://twitter.com/webdevMason/status/1061287230260490240 …

You had a workable form of Costa-Hawkins. Voters said no. SB 827 couldn't get out of committee. Yet you keep beating a dead horse. What you need is a new view of the problems that will lead you to new solutions. You mean we’ll, but you’re failing. Being sanctimonious doesn’t work

The fact that you use the word "expensive" is quite revealing. It’s humble but I love it and I worked very hard for it. Class hatred won’t get you far.

"humble," but maybe currently worth more than a million dollars? Not humbly priced.

if you're interested in debating in good faith and are willing not to have a pseudonym, I'd be happy to continue discussing policy. But if not, blocked!

Feel free. I use a pseudonym because bitter YIMBYs kept doxxing me. Like you, they assume that a million $ home is a mansion owned by an unworthy patrician. The gap between my reality and your fantasy I fear is too big to be bridged

Housing did not used to be 10X median incomes in the Bay Area, it was 4X median income in the late 1970s. But then the state downzoned, restricted supply, capped its property taxes (which got priced into higher property values and also gutted education funding).

That’s true. If want want to turn back the clock 45 years, good luck. Turn it back for health care too, please. Resuscitate journalism too. Life has changed. It’s gotten worse in many ways, but your approach isn’t practical.

No, I'm saying things are more expensive because of choices that voters have deliberately made over the last 40 years. I don't see a solution from you, other than telling people to move to other states, which in actual practice will mean lower-income/middle-class Californians.
