@CartoonsHateHer I come from a family of four. Either my mom or dad were able to come to everything me and my sister ever did (little league, recitals, etc.). I assume if they'd had a third kid, they would not have had that liberty.
We were close to a major national YIMBY bill, one that would have made real progress.
Then the dumbest people on both sides turned it into a bill that stops housing from getting built, because they're obsessed with the completely fake problem of 'big companies rent homes'
@jbarro I think this is what I would point to as the “why” for his transition on that specific issue. Not saying it was a smart political/campaign choice, but I do think it answers your question.
@lxeagle17 I'm not sure you even have to squint. The Know Nothings in the mid-19th century explicitly promoted the idea that Irish and German immigrants were all a bunch of drunk criminals.
