I, and almost all lefties, support zoning reform and the like. The idea this is enough for housing abundance is crazy, tho.

Also, who actually lobbies for keeping all the bad regulations like single-family zoning?

Well, there are regulations that are pushed by monied interests to suppress competition and hurt small bussiness.

Those are fine to go.

So wait: 25 years ago, oligarchs sold dereg as a way to create housing abundance, which resulted in a mortgage-fueled financial crisis, mass foreclosures & a contraction of housing construction…and now we’re asked to assume more dereg is the key to creating housing abundance?

Better solution: everyone should own their home and landlords shouldn't exist.

We need both.

Imagine being told — with full state backing:
“You don’t deserve water from your own land.”

That’s life under Israeli apartheid.

October 7 wasn’t the start — it was just another page in a long, violent history of oppression.

So many people within our communities enabled this genocide with their false accusations of antisemitism and their bullshit liberal zionism...and to this day, after Israel committed countless atrocities, too many people continue to be silent. May the pain of Palestinian children visit your own home

That's why I hate the term. It's used to make it sound like they have some sane middle-ground approach that most ppl agree on.

At best it's the center of elite, corporate opinion.

Actual centrism would be M4A, tax the rich, paid leave, etc. You know, what 60-90% of the public want.

And, in case 2024 didn't show you, genocide supporting Democrats can't win.

Holy fuck, what does the trans nonsense have to w/ not being the key enabler of a genocide?

There is only one morally acceptable "side" to take on a genocide. Ending it.

That you would compare that to some 2020 defund the police, trans-surgery for all, open-borders, peak woke bullshit, is insane.

You mean living up to his reputation as an empty suit?

How on Earrh did anyone ever have anything but the lowest expectations for this man?

The center of what? It's not the center of public opinion, that's for sure.

Don't worry, they will. Losing winnable elections is what they are best at.

Yikes, that's quite the admission.

He's ok, but nothing inspiring. I think our best bet would be a total outsider to politics.

Tax rental homes out of existence and free up stock for owner-occupiers.

If you're serious about doing anything at the federal try this:

Tax corporate landlords so high they are begging to sell their properties back to owner-occupiers.

But this means-tested, nibble round the edges approach you talk about here, is exactly what led to the crisis.

BREAKING: Israel Killed Al Jazeera Journalist Anas Al-Sharif Journalists in Gaza continue to be murdered in record numbers, while Western media outlets and reporters show little or no outrage.

“How many murdered Palestinian journalists will it take for the mainstream press’s cowardly fever to break?” asks ⁦‪Prem
Thakker,‬⁩ in the wake of Israel’s killing of ⁦‪Anas al Sharif. ‬⁩

Two trips are for bitches!

::stumbles and falls::

Well we expect Palestinians to just roll over and die so Israel can expand. So at least it's consistent.

That's not a book.

Well he did say techno-anarcho-capitalists.

And that's a pretty apt descripter for the the Silicon Valley segment of Trump's coalition (Thiel et al).

I mean if you really wanna get into the weeds of sub-ideologies, AnCap is pretty fascist adjacent.

Cool. So release the files then. Expose all of them, Democrat and Republican.

It is common belief in the Arab world that Mossad helped instigate many attacks on Jews in the middle east to drive in migration.
