That’s not unusual.. road construction here for a 5 mile stretch is guaranteed income for life. The only thing that seems to change is where they put the orange cones and barrels. I’d be farther ahead with a shovel and wheelbarrow on a 4 day work week.

You can have Open Borders, or you can have Affordable Housing.

You cannot have both.

the way to get more low-cost rentals is to change laws about eviction. if it was easy to evict and then remove bad tenants you would have more private rental for poor people.

I laugh every time I see articles about creating affordable housing in Los Angeles, or anywhere in California. It will NEVER happen.

It took me 3 1/2 years to go through the crap the Building Department mandates and it cost over $300,000. Just to build a 3 bdrm 2 bath house on my property. I will retire in a year and leave this godforsaken State I grew up in and sell everything I have here.

Say what you want about Rand, but she sure had human nature pegged.
