#1 If you want more housing you are going to need more energy and water. Good luck with that.

When the Dept of Defense closed the Presidio of San Francisco [which was turned over for 0 in return], they had a lot of land that the government could have turned into multi-housing units. Cry me a river.

#2 While you are at it, look at all the rules and regulations you pile on landlords and the restrictions you place in removing problem tenets. At a certain point, the 'landlord' really doesn't own the property as its literally run by the state via regulations.

#4 the issue boils down to not building enough housing “for decades and decades and decades”

BULLSHIT!!!

Developers in California have been building houses for decades and decades and decades as fast as they can in the name of "affordable housing" but the cost of living in California continues to rise astronomically. NEWSOM IS LYING. He and his fellow Democrats want to turn comfortable, single-family suburbs and small cities into miserable slums because they know that slum dwellers like the ones in New York will vote Democrat. It doesn't hurt that developers contribute to election campaigns for their pet politicians.

#5 As for homelessness, yeah, that's neglect. Drug addicts and the mentally need to be incarcerated for their own good instead of being allowed to die on the sidewalks and in the riverbeds. They don't need half million dollar condos. They need beds in institutions where they can get the treatment they need. They won't volunteer for it because they like being able to score their drugs and shoot up on the sidewalks. They need to be arrested and incarcerated.

Nobody really owns property in California. We pay rent to the government in the form of "property taxes". And the government has no problem evicting people who don't pay the rent.

#7 I suppose the solution is more government.

it’s Econ. 101, supply and demand.
Kommunist calls to burn the heretic?

#8 And the government has no problem evicting people who don't pay the rent.

However, they certainly obstruct landlords from evicting people who don't pay rent. One rule for me, another rule for thee.
