Hundreds of these should be placed around the Senate floor during the hearing, and each one lit by a child who had their future ruined by this nasty ass elf man.

The power came from three books published in the 1960s:
(1) Jane Jacobs taught neighborhood groups to organize against city demolition projects, and cities later let those same groups vote on new construction.
(2) Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring politicized the environmental movement, and in 1970 Ronald Reagan signed CEQA so a single lawsuit or objection can stop almost any housing project.
(3) Paul Ehrlich’s Population Bomb convinced California progressives that blocking local housing would fight global overpopulation, and Marin County used water permits to enforce a construction ban for years.
