Why doesnt the corrupt liberal media report more on the failed liberal policies of California? Massive homeless problem

[ColonelAngus]

Crickets from the media. Why is that?

I mean, we hear the ocassional story...but this is a crisis and the media are more worried about covering up Bidem finger raping his employee.

Shameless and disgusting.

Perhaps if the blob was not making ridiculous claims like claiming he was cured of Covid 19....the media would focus on other things.

We have no media. We have Democrat controlled disinformation 24/7.

Yea, the homeless problem in California is a year old.

DERP.

Ah, Candy? The homeless problem in California existed LONG before Trump got Covid and it's getting worse by the day because of liberals running things out there! That's actually an issue! Whether or not Trump is "cured" of Covid is a distraction!

That's sarcasm, Candy...if you weren't so slow you'd have gotten it....just saying...

Wouldn't the guy in the White House be the Winner, Doctor Grumpy? The "Loser" was Hillary Clinton! She's nowhere NEAR the White House...something I give thanks for each and every day!

Its an issue with no solution. As is African famine, chronic hunger, etc..

Hell, the NCMEC--National Center for Missing and Exploited Children--says that 400,000 kids go missing every year. 400,000.

When was the last time you heard a story about that from a national media outlet?

The news is given to spectacle and the blob is nothing but a spectacle these days.

Liberal policies such as free market capitalism?

Because that’s the cause of the homeless problem: the cost of rent and price of a home are determined what the market will bear – and for many California residents the cost of rent or price of a home is beyond what they can afford.

Likewise, workers’ wages are determined by the labor market, not the income needed to afford a place to live, in addition to other living expenses and costs.

Consequently, the thread premise fails as a strawman fallacy; another ridiculous rightwing lie.

Homelessness has no solution? Did you really just claim that? Would you like to take a crack at explaining why it's a problem that is exploding in California and not in States that are not run by liberals?

Your economic acumen on the reason for the homeless CA is interesting. You are so off base. Its awful liberal policies that cause the homeless issue and many are refugees frlm other states because they know California liberal leaders will let you shit in the street.

Why do you think housing costs so much? Mother effing liberal regulations.

San Francisco elected official Hillary Ronen blames the city’s homeless problem on “Republican ideology.” She is wrong. Here are six reasons why “progressive ideology” is the real cause of the city’s homeless problem.

Hillary Ronen is an elected government official who gets paid $140,148 per year to work as a member of the legislative body for San Francisco.

In this video, Ronen blames San Francisco’s homeless problem on “Republican ideology.” (Skip to 8:52 in the video).



Ronen is wrong.

“Republican ideology” is not the cause of San Francisco’s homeless problem.

Here six are reasons why “progressive ideology” is the real cause of San Francisco’s homeless problem.

First of all, here is a link to an article that was published by the Atlantic in 2007.

When a developer builds housing, there are three separate and distinct costs: the cost of land, the cost of construction, and the cost of getting a building permit (which the article refers to as the “right to build”).

The article includes this chart:

So in San Francisco, getting a building permit (which the article refers to as the “right to build”) adds approximately $700,000 to the cost of a new home.

And please remember, this cost for the “right to build” is completely separate from the cost of the land, and the cost of construction.

The cost for the “right to build” is determined entirely, 100% by zoning laws, density restrictions, and other local government policies.

Since Hillary Ronen is an elected government official who works as a member of the legislative body of San Francisco, she is one of the people who is responsible for the city’s zoning laws, density restrictions, and other local government policies.

Secondly, here’s another example of how hard it is to get a building permit in California:

Texas, the 'great American job machine,' is largely responsible for the +1.2M net US job increase since 2007 | American Enterprise Institute - AEI

January 23, 2015

… there were more permits for single-family homes issued last year through November in just one Texas city Houston (34,566) than in the entire state of California (34,035) over the same period.

Let’s put this into perspective.

Houston is 628 square miles.

California is 163,696 square miles.

So even though California is 260 times as big as Houston, Houston actually issued more new building permits for single family homes in 2014 than did the entire state of California.

Just think about that for a minute.

Those numbers show just how incredibly, ridiculously hard California makes it to build new housing.

Anyone who has ever bought or sold anything at eBay understands that, all else being equal, the bigger the supply of something, the lower price, and the lower the supply, the higher the price.

By making it so difficult to get a building permit in California, the government is causing housing to be far, far more expensive than it would otherwise be.

Third, here is a great article by Thomas Sowell about how the politicians in California have waged war against the construction of new housing.

Fourth, this video also explains San Francisco’s war against the construction of new housing. And please note that it is progressives, social justice warriors, and other left wing activists who are the ones that are most opposed to building this new housing:



Fifth, in the video with Ronen that I included at the beginning of this blog post, she brags about creating a new government program that gives free illegal drugs to homeless people. (Skip to 7:56 in the video.)

Being high on illegal drugs makes the problem of homelessness bigger, not smaller.

And sixth, the Washington Post published this article, which is called:

“Rand Paul is right: The most economically unequal states are Democratic”

The article includes this chart, which ranks the states by their levels of inequality based on their Gini coefficients.

You can see a bigger version of the chart at this link:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-a...aws.com/public/NJ6UOCWVE426LBX7NOQN6ECZVU.jpg

The information in the chart verifies the title of the Washington Post article. Blue states have more inequality than red states.

So that’s six different reasons why Hillary Ronen is wrong to blame San Francisco’s homeless problem on “Republican ideology.”

In each and every one of those six cases, it is actually “progressive ideology” that is causing San Francisco’s homeless problem.

San Francisco is waging a very strong, major war against the constriction of new housing.

For Hillary Ronen to blame this on “Republican ideology” is a huge lie.

On the contrary, since Ronen is one of the left wing, progressive, elected government officials responsible for San Francisco’s housing policies, it is Ronen’s own fault that San Francisco has such a big homeless problem.
