Maybe it’s because every Dem says Dems suck every time republicans do anything

“If someone says a harmless opinion the wrong way they deserve to be mocked” is just making excuses to be a jerk because it’s fun to be mean

Honestly 400 a month for 6 years for a corolla isn’t even half as bad as the deals some people get. I’m talking cars that die in a year and a loan at 13%

Used car loans start around 8 percent with good credit and go up to 25 percent. There’s people who take out a 12% loan financing 15k on a ten year old bmw not knowing anything about cars because they can afford the monthly payment and it breaks down in a couple month and costs 5k to fix.

I mean between NYC metro, LA metro, Bay Area, Seattle, DC, Boston, Austin, Hawaii, San Diego, your already at 65 million which is a fifth. Then there’s knock on effects - Idaho and Montana are not HCOL but being priced out by Californians is maybe the biggest local issue as their housing rises.

That’s like saying “egg prices go up because people have money and are willing to spend it on eggs.” It’s technically true, that’s how supply and demand affect prices. But the shortage is what causes the prices which reveals people’s willingness. And “willingness” isn’t really a fair description

Lots of rust belt towns full of housing and no jobs is also a contributor to the housing crisis, but fundamentally if it wasn’t for NIMBYs it would not be nearly as big a contributor

One percent of 350 million is 3.5 million new people, and we’ve had more than that in the last four years. Housing deteriorates too, and jobs gains and losses are not spread evenly

Hakeem Jeffries and house Dems notably are not. Dem voters are very upset at leadership. All these people are Dems and lose credibility when you attack Dems as a whole for the actions of a few.

Then attack them for it without attacking Dems as a whole. Why is that so hard?

If your mad at Schumer and the other 9 senators I don’t think it’s helpful to attack Dems as a whole. It’s like poking a whole in the ship your on because the captain sucks

I mean the op comment was regarding yimbys targeting lefties.

Have they actually changed though? Here’s Eunisses opposing 100% affordable housing 3 months ago.

Look I was supportive of the DSA council people and I think Raman is great, but it does seem to me like the other two got into office and did little different

I mean I think Eunisses is ideologically opposed, and she blocked affordable housing in her own district. Hugo didn’t even vote for the amendment you mentioned.

Not saying their perfect but I think they’ve done decent considering the situation

The ADU bill made something like 30 or 40 thousand housing units. The others have varied in success. That said, passing bills and creating some housing is very tough for any yimby group, there are a lot of structural forces against it in every city and arguably more in certain CA cities.

Raman is good but your cherry picking as to the others. They have voted against housing far far more times than they e voted for. This vote in particular was expected to fail too
