By Francis Go To PostHow do you feel regarding the situation currently ongoing in Afrin?
Still feel it's a mistake in a long string of dumb mistakes Erdogan has made in regards to Syria, ISIS etc, but could have gone worse. Afrin is still standing, civilians are returning, aid is being given and the utilities are back on. Likely they'll introduce the Turkish Lira as the main currency for the region plus handle the postal service, followed by housing and infrastructure projects, as they've done with Al-Bab and it's surrounding areas. Not sure what they'll do about resettlement of refugees. They barely made a dent with al-bab, something like 30,000 Syrians returning home. Others haven't been able to leave, have no homes left to return to or have taken Turkish Citizenship.
There's also the questions of the territories East of the Euphrates. Lot's of dumb chest pounding little-man rhetoric about new operations there, as if the USA is going to be "k m8."

Give her a damn gun
Not strictly politics, but I think it has a place in the political discussion of homelessness:

According to ATTOM, 76 percent of all vacant homes in America are owned by investors — amounting to approximately 1.1 million vacant residential investment properties. Many of these vacant homes are in economically distressed Rust Belt cities with high poverty rates, like Detroit, Michigan, neighboring Flint, and Youngstown, Ohio. The states with the highest investment property vacancy rate also have high poverty rates. Michigan leads the pack with 10.3 percent vacancy, Indiana at 9.8 percent, Alabama at 6.9 percent, and Mississippi at 6.6 percent.
disgusting
By Facism Go To PostDisgusting state of affairs there, Mr Kibner. The UK has a similar issue.it sucks, OP. I'm more thankful than ever that I already have a home and another plot of property in case i needed a bigger one for a family

In the same boat, thankfully, except my plot of property is in another country.

And then you have this
Yeah it’s so Fucked out here. There’s some talk about the major cities and the state trying to come up with public housing options for the expanding homeless problem, but where? NIMBY’s driving up the price of land ain’t helping this problem either
Self motivation for his state, but a good move that should have happened years ago. Industrial hemp has a lot of uses, doesn’t use much water and doesn’t need pesticides. We import all hemp used for our product.
There are only 38 homes for sale in Palo Alto, and only one is under $1.5M (it’s a 1-bed, 1-bath condo for $848K.Insane.
I can't imagine what it's doing to long term residents with the rise in property taxes. Most likely people who lived there decades can't afford to now.
By Kibner Go To PostdisgustingWhy not give one or the other to a homeless person? 🤔

By Hitch Go To PostWhy not give one or the other to a homeless person? 🤔1) I'm selfish
2) Homeless don't have the money to build a home on the property (no utilities are run there or anything)
3) I don't want to incur the debt necessary to build my own home on that property and then give my current home to a homeless person who then won't be able to afford the utility costs
4) I'm selfish and scared of the uncertainty doing the above would incur
By Hitch Go To PostWhy not give one or the other to a homeless person? 🤔Nobody wants a homeless in their house. Talk about a drop in the value of the investment by having the occupants being homeless.
You gotta get into a certain headspace to rent out property. The chances shit will go wrong and you have to nut up is mighty high.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostI can't imagine what it's doing to long term residents with the rise in property taxes. Most likely people who lived there decades can't afford to now.Hahaha most people don't know that CA property taxes can only rise so much every year, so people who bought houses 10 or 15 years ago are paying a fraction of what they should be paying in property taxes by market value.
Now you see why homeowners are so against new housing.
This is also why state income tax is so high in CA. It's to offset the artificially low property taxes.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostI can't imagine what it's doing to long term residents with the rise in property taxes. Most likely people who lived there decades can't afford to now.
CA property tax doesn't go up much year to year, like almost nothing. As Hasphatants pointed out, it's the reason we pay higher income taxes. It's one of the few reasons a person wouldn't get priced out of a neighborhood that they've lived in for a while. So in that respect it's good policy.
In fact, as a CA resident, there's a law where you can bring your old tax base to your new house. I think there's an age requirement and the cost of the new house can't be more than what you sold. My in laws owned since the 80's. They sold and bought further out in Rancho Cucamunga. They kept their original 80's tax base on a 450K home. My wife's grandmother has owned her home since the 50's. The tax base is probably like 20K for a house that's probably valued around 350-400K.
LIke I said ... there's been a lot of discussion about homelessness in CA and public housing seems to be what everyone thinks is the end goal. How do you reasonably provide housing for homeless people if the land if a fucking fortune to purchase though? Which is why were seeing lots of "well just toss em on some landfill" types of ideas being floated around.

You know how bad of a shot you have to be to shoot like this?
By Apollo Go To PostYou know how bad of a shot you have to be to shoot like this?That's about what my pattern would look like with a handgun out at ~25 yards. I'm more accurate with a broke ass bow and arrow from my middle school PE class.
Wondering why more tech companies don't just move to the mid west. Gotta think that talent could be hyped to jump on low housing costs with high income, with the inevitability of the area eventually being built up and any property they buy netting a nice profit in the future.
By Kibner Go To Post2020 census is going to include a question about citizenship. California is suing.no other state wants it both ways more than cali
By DY_nasty Go To Postno other state wants it both ways more than cali
To be fair, the question hasnt appeared since the 50’s and is just being used as a way to suppress numbers in Hispanic communities.
I don’t have an issue with the question itself, but the timing is suspect AF.
This is a different way to effectively gerrymander without suppressing a vote since you can stop cali from gaining a rep.
By Fenderputty Go To PostTo be fair, the question hasnt appeared since the 50’s and is just being used as a way to suppress numbers in Hispanic communities.Alternatively this hurts red states more since blue states seem to want to protect immigrants more. So Red state Hispanic populations report less and thus less reps for them.

Curious how this will play out. I can’t imagine the GOP would do this if it hurts them in the long run

By TheHunter Go To PostI mean…they're backing Trump and tariffs.As long as race and religious identity remain popular vote deciders, I doubt much will hurt them long - term.

This March for Life stuff is tipping towards that point. GOP is already losing Millennial by 66 to 20. That's not sustainable numbers.

I know it’s coming, but demographic shifts are taking their time.
Also:
These percentages, however, undersell the political impact to blue states. The vast majority of the states to be impacted are blue states. Clinton-won states make up 76% of the states where there are more non-citizens than the average state to Trump's 24%.
The top five states by this metric are California, Texas, Nevada, New York and New Jersey. Non-citizens made up between 10% and 14% of each of these state's populations. Clinton carried all of these states, except Texas.
