One need only look out an airplane window to see that this has nothing to do with a lack of space. Itās the concentration of opportunity and the rising cost of being near it. It says much about todayās winner-take-all economy that many of the cities with the most glaring epidemics of homelessness are growing centers of technology and finance. There is, simply put, a dire shortage of housing in places where people and companies want to live ā and reactionary local politics that fight every effort to add more homes.
Nearly all of the biggest challenges in America are, at some level, a housing problem. Rising home costs are a major driver of segregation, inequality, and racial and generational wealth gaps. You canāt talk about education or the shrinking middle class without talking about how much it costs to live near good schools and high-paying jobs. Transportation accounts for about a third of the nationās carbon dioxide emissions, so thereās no serious plan for climate change that doesnāt begin with a conversation about how to alter the urban landscape so that people can live closer to work.
Nowhere is this more evident than California. Itās true that the state is addressing facets of the mess, with efforts on rent control, subsidized housing and homelessness. But the hardest remedy to implement, it turns out, is the most obvious: Build more housing.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/13/business/economy/housing-crisis-conor-dougherty-golden-gates.html
According to the McKinsey Global Institute, the state needs to create 3.5 million homes by 2025 ā more than triple the current pace ā to even dent its affordability problems. Hitting that number will require building more everything: Subsidized housing. Market-rate housing. Homes, apartments, condos and co-ops. Three hundred and fifteen apartments on prime parcels of towns like Lafayette.
Legislation is important, but history suggests it can do only so much. In the early 1980s, during another housing crisis, California passed a host of bills designed to streamline housing production and punish cities that didnāt comply. But the housing gap has persisted, and more recent efforts have also failed. In late January, the Legislature rejected S.B. 50, a bill that would have pushed cities to accept four- to five-story buildings in amenity-laden areas.
TL;DR: NIMBYism is a disease
The plot of land that the people of Lafayette are desperate to protect from having apartments go up on:
The contested parcel off Deer Hill Road. Just 30 minutes by rail from downtown San Francisco, the lot remains empty.
youd think with the internet we wouldve figured out people dont need to live at certain places for their industries to work
By Xpike Go To Postyoud think with the internet we wouldve figured out people dont need to live at certain places for their industries to workThe entire global economy is becoming more service industry oriented. The more prosperous we become the less office jobs we have and the more service industry things are being asked of us.
Your stance presumes that most jobs are ones where people are sitting at a computer desk all day, and that's just not the case.
By Lunatic Go To PostCan't say I blame them.
Sparse custom homes with views of rolling hills fighting apartments going up. I lean towards ehh fuck off you should build it, but I aint gonna lie, I want my property value protected as well and every person here would. Nobody willingly sacrifices investment value. NIMBYISM has to be fought at a state level and local cities need to be forced to comply.
By reilo Go To PostHoly fuck Fender truly has come full circle Boomer RepublicanI actually stated fenders "super moderate" leanings in the past š¤·I enjoy being the go-to republican boogieman more than he does tho
DY get your mans
once you get property its a big fuckin deal i get it
i'll be damned if cash out for something only to watch the value drop because existing public funds go in every direction except where they should've always been

Please. A Republican woukd never suggest the state going after cities after passing laws requiring housing lol
I was a opposed to a homeless shelter when it was going up next to a school, but the city listened and moved the shelter more towards commercially zoned area and away from my kids. So now Iām cool. Lol
By i can get you a toe Go To Post"But my property value" been a scourge.
Well itās a reality tbat is t changing so .... You have a 401k? Want that to rise in value or stagnate and deflate?

The only way to change this, is removing property ownership. The only people Iāve met in my life who didnāt view property as an investment are my hippy in laws tbat want to, ābuy their dream house once and lay rootsā bleh

So I'm working on a project in Century City. Which is like super expensive. It's a multiple tower high ride residential condo. Each floor is like 12k sqft and is generally subdivided into three smaller units. There are a couple floors though were the tenant is paying for an entire floor. One of the tenants is paying 25 million for one of these single floor build outs. She's going to use it to go shopping in Beverly Hills.

Workers say Shipt customers often live in gated and upscale communities and that the app encourages workers to tack on gifts like thank you cards, hot cocoa, flowers, and balloons onto orders (paid for out of their own pocket) and to offer to walk customerās dogs and take out their trash, as a courtesy. Shipt calls this kind of service āBringing the Magic,ā which can improve workersā ratings from customers that factor into the algorithm that determines who gets offered the most lucrative orders.

The likes of MSNBC and co., were running it as a rumor, earlier on national TV. Silly af.
Every single day, some new outrageously racist / sexist / whatever shit comes out, about Bloomberg. Might as well put on a MAGA hat, if you rep this clown. Whole DNC needs dismantling.

Earlier today I saw a tweet about an article saying Sanders is considering DY's girl Tulsi for VP
And then someone said bullshit on that, it's Sanders supporters who are saying Tulsi would be a good choice for VP
Bottom line, I think DY needs to just get on the Sanders/Warren bandwagon already and tell Tulsi to take a fucking hike

Donāt know much about Bloomberg at all other than the big dick move of spending money literally everywhere and some awful shit regarding stop and frisk, but gotta say:
If Dem candidates pulled together and said āweāre all great, whoever wins is THE candidate, fuck Donald Trumpā, theyād stand a much better chance of winning in Nov.
Bloomberg hasnāt had to share a debate stage so far, thatās true. But heās going after Trump, not the other candidates.

Bloomberg went after every candidate when he skirted donor requirements with the favor of the DNC while being worse than Trump has ever been. From housing to literally dozens of sexual harassment claims, open and enforced racist policy to cronyism, etc. Bloomberg has Trump beat.
And yeah, outside of Warren/Bernie they probably could've decided on a singular one-size-fits-all candidate but it backfired when that sort of consolidation led to Hillary turning into an uncontrollable monster and the only candidate they honestly developed is somehow an agent because of said monster. Everyone else sees a power grab, investment opportunity, or resistance to those things.
I'm with blackace. Give me Bloomberg and Hillary so this party can finally be forced to look in the mirror.
