I don’t think the right will have a problem with this. They’re gonna sit back and hope we bit off more than we can chew. Can we please focus on fixing our housing problem next?
- No.
  
  More homeless youth coming right up tho.
  
  The Olympics is gonna be insane
- They can hope while we welcome their best and brightest who don't want the government all over their bodies and lives.
  
  I agree we need to build more housing, but as an Angeleno, fuck this fear of biting off more than we can chew, let's fuckin' go.
  
  It's not lack of housing. There are 93,000 vacant homes in Los Angeles alone. That's enough to house every homeless person in the city in their own home, with 20,000 to spare.
  
  It's housing as an investment.

  Totally possible, but politicians say a lot of things. Firstly, Homan has to be approved. Second, he doesn’t control the budget. Thirdly, funding cuts have to be approved and can be challenged in court. Trump and team are not the all powerful evil geniuses they are being made out to be.
California should seccede from the US and immediately will leave the US bankrupt as it takes that huge economy away
Isn't it extremely expensive to live in?
- Like most things in the US, being treated like a human being is behind a paywall.
- Having lived there, yes. Even 10+ years ago when we left. We could still afford rent on what we made, barely. We wouldn't be able to now.
They're just helping Trump out by gathering in one convenient place so the military can come in and relocate them later :/
Project 2025 is the left's Qanon... Bunch of conspiracy theorists. People voted for a better economy.
- Doesn't seem like you know what Project 2025 and QAnon are.
- Permanently Deleted
- "voted for a better economy" boy do I have something to tell you about tariffs and what happens when you remove 20 million working people.
- Troll or just mind bogglingly stupid?
  
  Guess which it is!
- People voted for a better economy.
  
  About that...
