My most woke opinion is that property tax rates should increase the further from the town center you are and agriculture tax rates should be incredibly difficult to qualify for
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

In fact, much of the SoCal coastal plain could see 2-4+ inches between Thu & Mon. That is pretty impressive for a Nov storm in this part of the state! In fact, at least localized flash flooding (esp. near recent wildfire zones & in other susceptible spots) is certainly possible.

The better world of my youth? My youth involved leaded gasoline, a violence epidemic, the constant threat of nuclear annihilation, and fucking AIDS. People can just fuck off with the nostalgia horseshit.
Yeah, there are segments of the far left and far right alike that are built on a sour paranoia that the better world of your youth was robbed from you. The main difference is whether the paranoia pools around disfavored ethnic cultural groups or nebulous monied interests.
Nostalgia is a fundamentally fascist impulse. The left should never traffick in these tropes because when the we cannot bring the 50s back through science or magic, the far right will be offering a much more twisted version of the same vision.

You're goddamn right we are.
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

“This gondola is not a public transit solution,” reads a release from Hernandez's office. "It is a private development scheme disguised as transportation, designed to raise the value of a billionaire’s parking lots."

Really sucks we spent the 2010s zero interest rate decade debating "Housing for Whom?" with the dumbest people on Earth and now that we've finally begun to change some important laws, interest rates are high, there's a tariff on every building material and construction labor is getting deported.
Deportations can reduce the housing construction workforce, leading to fewer units built and higher costs - contrary to claims that they lower prices, according to a sociologist who studies housing. #immigration buff.ly/Dfakz6o
The Trump administration’s anti-immigrant housing policy reflects a long history of xenophobia in public housing
Anti-immigrant housing policies have been cast as a way for citizens to access more housing, but they fail to prevent the shortages driving the crises.

Absolute horseshit. No architect is going to make a windowless bedroom when a windowed one is feasible.
There's another round where rehabs might be exempted. One of the committee members (one who voted against it) took issue with my comment that the codes basically force you into windowless bedrooms – he said it's a designer's choice whether to include a window. That is wrong. It's a designer's...
