California WTF? A rant.

Bold of you to assume that American money won't make modern day yen look like bitcoins after nine centuries of inflation.

I wasn’t blaming Reagan. There was probably a democratic legislature involved as well at the time. There seemed to be a consensus that large institutions were not the way to go. Think of the current bipartisan consensus that we’ve locked up too many people in past decades.

In part, we can blame Ken Kesey. His novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest stigmatized mental health institutions in the mind of the public.

This is hilarious.
All the things that ensure you don't wind up with substandard hovels that collapse for no reason and strip clubs don't pop up on the corner, and you're whining that it's liberals who are responsible.

California's most stringent earthquake codes were last visited by what used to be the Republican majority, in 1994 after the Northridge Quake. Anything built after 1994 in California is more likely to withstand a shaker, and you think that's a bad thing.

Hilarious.

You just love making crap up.

^ Desperate attempt a diversion, ie crap. All cities and towns have building codes. This has NOTHING to do with the cost of housing in California. Rather, the rich white progressives establish minimal square footage and ban multi-family housing, pre-fab housing and apartments for nearly all the land, plus have massive and slow permit costs for everything.

To rich white liberals THE greatest human and civil right in their opinion is to be able to do ANYTHING to maximize the value of their property and block anything that might interfere with property values. The rich are demigods to the Democratic Party for because $$$$ is everything.

The U.S. Government could have spent one-fifth that amount for temporary shelter for displaced people in Los Angeles and San Francisco, even if it were out in the desert somewhere, at least people would have some decent shelter and access to clean water and sanitation. Our own American citizens are left out of this government's considerations and focusing instead on separating families and detaining immigrants for weeks or months. It's a horrible black stain on this country that we'll all have to live with.

It almost sounds like you oppose mass immigration into the USA, but in fact by your messages you are part of the political process that forced this level of spending on illegal immigrants - and hundreds of billions more dollars need be taken from helping American poor to help poor foreign illegal invaders - that you openly want to come.

Besides, your core premise is FALSE. The DHS money is NOT all spent on detentions. The vast majority is spend on relocating them around the country, giving them free housing, free food, free medical care, free transportation and money. By your messages, YOU are one of the causes of what you complain of by supporting the Democratic Party.

I hate to break your rant with a reminder but must do so in order to clear the record. Property owners influence local rules and regulations to further their own financial goals. Political leanings are cast aside when there is a buck to be made. The only political difference between a rich Democratic landlord and a rich Republican landlord is that the former has a sense of shame, the latter sees themselves as paragons of virtue.
 
Every conversation about California, should begin with "California, WTF?".

~ Los Angeles City is not only over-populated it is under-managed by piss-poor city government and an understaffed politicized police department. Incorporated cities in the L.A. County are much better managed/policed and have more responsible government - as well as citizens who do not tolerate slums and ghettos.
The residents of Los Angeles City are also at fault for allowing this to continue. Stop voting for these liberal jackass hacks for mayor & city council !

Amen. And stop voting for liberals altogether.
