This is what you get with disjointed and conflicting policies.
1) Urban Growth Boundaries
2) Expensive and Lengthy permitting process
3) Policies that favor (incentivize) large mutifamily projects over single family dwellings.
4) State agencies, like the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), can penalize cities that fail to comply with state driven mandates.
5) Environmental requirements delay or prevent single-family developments. Multi-family or transit-oriented projects are prioritized because they align with environmental goals.Couple that with an influx of 10 million illegal aliens we can’t absorb but must be paid and cared for, blue cities and states are scrambling for new sources of revenue (AKA Wealth Tax).
Liberals specialize in spending money they don’t have and kicking the can down the road. Here is great example – https://apnews.com/article/low-income-housing-tax-credit-affordable-harris-8f68bcf189c17f910459142ee8a50289
So the answer is, provide subsidies to build low income (subsidized ) housing. Of course, shock and disbelief set in as property owners raise rent when subsidies end.
Shocking.
Poison Pill? The pork packed into the latest continuing resolution is ridiculous.
1) $200B in Social Security benefits for government workers who have not paid into social security.
2) Congressional pay raise.
3) Opt out of Obama Care for Federal Employee Health Care.
4) $50B for Big Pharma
5) Transfer Federally controlled land for RFK Stadium.
6) $10B in aid to Farmers.Basically, Dems are introducing an Omnibus spending bill disguised as a continuing resolution, which will expire in Trump’s first 100 days in office.
I would like to see Congress pass a bill that prevents adding provisions to CRs. Congress should not be able to authorize new spending without passing a budget.
“Over time, the party will come to believe that the only reason they lost in 2024 is because Biden selfishly tried to run for re-election,” Rasmussen said.”
Don’t know about the moral high ground, but introspection is damn sure not in their repertoire.
Can’t disagree the left has been weaponizing the FBI (and the IRS and DOJ) but it’s fair to say J Edgar Hoover started it by trying to eradicate liberals.
Interesting article. During the campaign, lefties insisted the economy was doing fine, often pointing to the stock market as proof. At least half the voters called BS.
Anyone who was purchasing groceries over the last 5 years knew the economy was a mess without input from partisans or Phds.
My own index is the BDBI. (Beeg Dawg Breakfast Index.) My benchmark – 3 egg Denver omelette, potatoes, coffee and toast is roughly double since 2019.
I haven’t trusted reported labor numbers for years, going back to Obama claims how many jobs were created coming out the 2008 recession. Two examples – Obama probably claimed x number of teachers jobs created in a Wisconsin school district. Problem was there were more “jobs” created than teachers. Another was in the construction industry. 3 part time jobs were counted as 3 jobs created, even if all 3 were filled by the same worker at different times.
Heard this on the news this morning.
If I were Trump, I would be on the phone to Zelensky and tell him if launches a long range missile strike against Russia, he will never receive a nickels worth of military support from the US again.
Raises an important question- When the US supply long range missiles to Ukraine?

There is not enough tequila in the universe for me to even think about going there. Ugh.
7,14 or 20 M votes didn’t disappear. That is not the question. My question, echoed by others, is where did Biden’s wide margin of victory come from in 2020?
I am not a conspiracy theory guy, but damn, I’m still waiting on any reasonable explanation for the difference. (Not counting voter fraud)
Wait- What? I thought it was just rich Republican developers that stiffed the little guy.
Must be Russian dis-information.
Hard not to call this a Red Wave. Gained seats in the Senate, House and won 8 gubernatorial elections.
Interesting comparison to 2020.
81M for Biden, 74M for Trump.
2024,
72M for Trump and 67M for Harris. Meaning nothing, it’s odd the difference in Bidens and Harris’s total is roughly the same number of votes Biden received in the this years primary.
More than curious is almost 15M voters who voted for Biden chose to sit this one out. 15M? Harris couldn’t even rally enough support from Biden’s base to win? How does that happen?
