Listing a bunch of cities run by Dems that so many people want to live in that prices have gone way up, is not the gotcha you think it is.

It’s not a gotcha, it’s a post of fact

  I think I remember a few people actually praising that nimrod Plaskett a few weeks ago.

You agree with Ryan Grim? Is that how you interpret that as well?

hard to believe a hard core trump defender is now against throwing journalist in jail.   i don't think trump ever didn't mention arresting journalist and political rivals at any of his rallies and it was GREAT when trumpy bear suggested it.

Please let me when I said journalist should be thrown in jail for reporting.   I’ll wait

 

looking forward to you speaking out against Plaskett though just as you did Trump.

I would guess fentanyl kills close to or more people than guns in CA yet the politicians don’t want to get serious about penalties for the illegal distribution it seems.

That's just sad. We all know what you were trying to do.

Yes we do, show data on the cost of living.

Yes, show us again how those cities are so popular that people will pay a much higher COL to live there. Not quite the comment on the Dems you meant for it to be.

I don’t control why people choose to live where they live or why they spend so much to get so little.  Or why they are leaving those cities in greater numbers than other similar sized cities. I’m sure it’s a great advertisement for more growth in those cities

Quite the back pedal. You know that everyone can see the name of the thread you're posting in, right?

I think some people want to blame liberalism and socialism when they depict big cities that are too expensive to live in. Because they're run by Dems, I guess? 

 

Which is funny, since they are also the source of high-wage merit-based jobs, and a housing market answering to good old fashioned supply and demand. If so many people are fleeing these cities, those costs would come down, but historically they don't. Enough people want to live here to keep the prices up. California cities may extract regulations and raise taxes for social services, but it's hardly a socialist mecca around here. Pretty much the opposite. 

 

So despite the Democrat leanings of most big cities, they're victims of the wealth disparity that liberals decry and conservatives ignore. People filling the lower income rolls, not just restaurant workers and gardeners, but our teachers, police, firefighters, and small business owners can't afford to live in the places they work, moving farther and farther out into the still expensive bedroom communities and creating horrible daily commute traffic. 

 

There have been proposals to create subsidized housing for public school teachers. That could be a start. You can put a price on a home or a gallon of gas, but if we really value quality of life there are a lot of interconnected factors in play when we talk Cost of Living.

It’s the Democrat Utopia thread if I’m not mistaken.   I assume everyone can see that.   
 

I take it from your water carrying that you think the COL is a great advertisement.
