  1. A few hundred ultra right wing racists is not news. They will die off alone and be forgotten. Moving on!
  2. Ok big boy, what policies does Trump have that will fix all these things? Be specific.

  4. I do agree with the second half of your post. I think, for the average lower-class working Joe, I'd like to see a mass increase of supply and then some kind of government voucher system to aid in affordability. This preserves the freedom to choose and move and doesn't lock the poor into Le Corbusier-style towers. I said "possibly" because I believe there are still going to be a group of people that needs government-built housing, mostly the mentally ill/those who cannot live on their own and don't really have the agency to go through the home-buying process. I prefer this to nonprofits because government agencies can be held accountable easier than vague boards of directors. Plus, in my experience, non-profits are difficult to work with and are often poorly run. In an ideal world, we'd increase the supply so much that prices relax naturally and the voucher system is not needed. In the urban planner world, we're experimenting in a few different cities with different ideas like converting vacant storefronts to housing. Office buildings seem like a great idea, but the problem there is that the infrastructure is simply not there for 200 new families and all their basic needs. It's bonkers expensive.
  5. NIMBYism is across the political spectrum. I don't know why you're whining about "illegals" in England since the psychopath who stabbed the kids was a British citizen. If you want to have a good faith talk about integrating second-gen immigrants, a definite real problem, then I'm all ears. Possibly. I'm not a huge fan of government housing since it's a slippery slope policy to "let's take the poor and shove them somewhere else," and it creates de facto ghettos. Same problem that rent control has, which I'm very opposed to. The root cause of the housing crisis, IMO, are outdated restrictions on new construction.
  6. You guys are missing out, did you see that pommel horse competition earlier???
  7. Laws are good and should be enforced. That said, the root cause of this is building more housing.
  8. We have Politico to drown out the nuts like that
  9. You’re still doing it
  10. Deflection is not an argument
  11. Yeah, I’m glad we have “media” like this instead:
  12. Wait did I quote the wrong guy? I meant to quote Docs post. Sorry.
  13. And that has…what to do with the current topic?
  14. No *****. That’s exactly my point. That’s why I’m calling out posts like “coming soon to America” or whatever, because it has nothing to do with race.
  15. Bass is the new forum scapegoat
  16. Oh his motive was racism instead of being just a mentally ill psychopath? Alright then Ah yes there’s the famous right wing racism we all know and abhor
  17. Im correcting your ignorance. A futile act, I know, but I want Maduro out too and a free Venezuela
  18. Yes, the racists are very entrenched. No one cares.
  19. Which of TBD’s finest is this? I bet it’s @Big Blitz, it’s just the right amount of unhinged.
  20. Rich coming from the guy who changed his profile name because of his Biden delusions.
