Prop 13 means grandma is rolling around alone in a $1.5M, 4BR/3BA house in a good school district paying $1,985/year in property taxes while young families cram into a 1 BR apartment for $3,500/month. It is wildly inequitable, creates insane distortions and needs to end. Now.
So Belli bassitt and Arenado don’t want to join the Angels because of not winning
I mean we can’t win if guys like them don’t join lol
Idk wtf they expect to happen
Whether you agree with the ruling or not, one thing has become very clear over the past few decades and much more so the past 6 months: one branch of government is quickly accumulating power and the other two are forfeiting their own.
BOOM! The North Carolina State House just unanimously (107 to 0) passed a ban on parking minimums in new developments statewide.
This is powerful and bipartisan pro-housing reform that will make it easier to expand multifamily housing. Great work.

A few things can be true at once:
1) Biden’s approach to Israel/Gaza was absolutely fucking abhorrent & it’ll correctly tarnish his legacy
2) Many that didn’t vote/protest voted against Harris haven’t had nearly as much ire for Trump, nor engaged in self-reflection re: election
hate to be that “too woke friend” but the reason the far-right can consolidate power is because the left have become so consumed with puritan success that we can’t except progress starts with imperfect people. we either want something to happen perfectly or we give up.
You kinda can make the argument that they should shut down schools tomorrow. Staff is evacuating throughout the south land that will massively impact schools not near fire zones. Plus we need less people on the roads so they can move equipment.
Homeowners don’t want anyone else to be able to afford to live in their neighborhoods. They refuse to sell their homes. And they want lower property taxes than when they bought the home! Amazing!
Let’s see what the House map looks like in 2030 when Dem cities have no power.
The story of ED1 in LA is almost too absurd to be believed:
1) @MayorOfLA signs order streamlining affordable housing.
2) tons of affordable housing starts getting built, awesome!
3) small group of NIMBYs freak out
4) Karen Bass weakens the law so less housing is built
The best “resistance” is creating a California that works. We need a special session focused on getting everyone housed, controlling the cost of living for working families, and ensuring our state is the most economically viable and competitive. We can continue to lead if we focus on policy instead of politics.
The voters: “Democrats need to explain how to help the working class.”
Democrats: got it! So what we’re hearing is every Democrat should leave this app to join Blue Sky.
The voters: no, we need to hear how…
Democrats: BLUE SKY, GOT IT.
I’m so happy for all my friends that are going to be represented by a fantastic member of congress. George is going to do a great job! Did you know Mike Garcia is a fighter pilot?
That’s all I have to say as I made my last vote as a #CA27 resident! It’s been a ride!
This is one place Dems are getting great news, as George Whitesides (D) now significantly favored over #CA27 Rep. Mike Garcia (R) - and a GOP source of mine already touting Garcia for a Trump administration job.
