Modern vehicles ‘too wide for parking spaces’.

Pausing housing construction "to stem the tide of gentrification" is like taking up smoking to improve respiratory health.

It is kind of funny that basically all the modern angst over being worse off than prior generations boils down to “we don’t build enough houses so they’re really expensive”

I really want to hammer this. SF permitted 0 homes in the last month. None. If Sacramento was serious, which it isn't, this would spark immediate action.

Want to rebuild with an ADU, or perhaps even an SB 9 duplex? Back of the line. Want to rebuild a larger home? Back of the line. Want to rebuild the exact same thing that just burned down? Expedited permitting.

Why can't we do this for housing in LA at a base level? Don't we have a housing crisis?

When people tell you there is no more space to build new housing - here is Paris overlaid on San Francisco. SF is slightly larger, despite having 808,000 people compared to 2.3m in Paris.

San Francisco cannot govern themselves For their own good the state must intervene and take over land use authority

Someone should help RFK Jr turn his charts the right side up

Feckless, hapless leadership from Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin is one reason. Malapportionment is another. But it is clear that a small but significant part of our party lacks moral fiber. They must face primary challenges to help them acquire the moral fiber they presently lack.

Car pollution isn’t just tailpipe emissions. It’s tiny particles of brake and tire that work their way deep into the lungs causing illness and disease. The biggest contributor to air pollution in cities is automobile traffic. Reducing it is a powerful public health intervention.

Food costs in the US are relatively cheap - unless you're ordering a lot of delivery or eating out a lot but that's a disingenuous complaint. Housing and car costs are larger expenses and ones that we generally lack political will to address

You cannot price control your way out of a shortage. We need to build thousands of homes for the people displaced by fire and we need to do it fast. latimes.com/california/sto…

The lack of urgency from a lot of politicians on housing affordability is wild to me. This is the single most important item in a family's budget. It determines almost everything in life. And yet there has been so little reform.

The level of corruption it takes to create a meme coin just two days before taking office to enrich yourself, friends, and family to the tune of billions of dollars is hard to comprehend. But with Trump no one seems to blink an eye. Going to be a really fun four years ahead.

Most corrupt act any president has ever taken NYT: “This raises ethical concerns!”

murder is legal in America as long as you use a car

If Democrats at every level of government aren’t saying in unison that with these new tariffs “Trump is raising your taxes on everyday goods” then I don’t really know what we’re doing as a party

Plenty of hard-leftists (and a disturbing number of regular leftists) are fine with fascists defeating liberals on the logic that “liberals delay and worsen the inevitable crisis of capitalism; fascists will force the crisis, and the masses will finally see that we’re right.”

It is insanely embarrassing for the NYT to have this entire incorrect article go through the editorial process without anyone being able to solve the equation 10 - 4
