It’ll happen sooner than that and it will be a massive lawsuit.

Our little town worked hard to preserve it’s “village” character (single family homes, cute downtown area) but the city squashed us with threatened lawsuits, so we caved in and put together the “housing element” in our plan that the state demanded. The town has been fully built-out for 60 years, but the state insists that we do our “fair share” and cram in more and more low income housing.

Middle and high income earners are leaving the state in droves so it won’t be long before all that’s left are low income people.

A smallish, gritty, muscular linebacker from there, all-CIF, played L.Beach St., came to coach in our little town in E. AZ and went on to become the most successful HS coach the state has ever seen. Christian man — builder of character. I coached baseball at the same school alongside him.

He, unfortunately, died young (60-ish), of lung cancer, even though he never smoked. Great man. He used to take the team pre-season to HB. They let him put the boys to bed in a gym there, after they’d run in the sand and surf all day to get ready for another run at the state championship (he won 13).

That along with allowing-encouraging tent cities on the sidewalks of other middle-class neighborhoods in California is a page out of 1965's Dr. Zhivago.

Imagine the outrage if it was proposed by parents that film ought to be shown to every incoming high school student on day one of the "World History" class.

Merry Christmas, All.

That’s happening in one of my son’s and daughter in law’s little town, but it’s not the State, it’s the liberals on the city council. His sister lives in a little village outside of Chicago, where village laws prevent the dividing up of properties into smaller sections, to keep it from being overcrowded. I’m not sure there are even any apartments there; just single dwelling homes.
