The Bill That Could Make
California Livable Again

Original Article

Posted By: StormCnter, 1/15/2020 8:17:00 AM

You’ve probably never heard of the most economically transformative legislation of the Trump era. Granted, it has not yet passed and it might not pass. If it does, it would affect a large portion of Americans, but hardly all of them, unlike the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. And its potential effects are hotly contested by policy advocates, politicians, and economists. Still, California Senate Bill 50, winding its way through the state legislature again this month, could generate tens of thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars of new investment, reshaping the geography of the biggest state and solving a large chunk of the cost-of-living crisis

Didn't take the turbo-lib long to blame the generations in the making, all due to Californistan's Dem leaders, housing crisis on, yes, you guessed it, Trump. Do these morons ever evaluate facts or just knee jerk blame the Rebublican du jour?

Author is married to Ezra Klein, founder of Vox and creator and maintainer of infamous Journolist. Her version of this horrible bill is of course trash and internally inconsistent. But, that was a given before I wasted 3 minutes of my life reading it.

The ONLY thing that would make livable again would be to ban Democrats from ever having any say whatsoever in how it is run. They have completely ruined what was once the most beautiful state in the country. And they have absolutely no clue that they are the ones who have done it. In fact, they are continuing to "fix" the few remaining good things about it into oblivion. I know. I just left.

Actually, statewide and even a nationwide building code would go a long way toward easing the housing crisis. It would allow subassemblies to be created in factories and installed on site. You could order your entire plumbed and tiled kitchens and bathrooms and they could be dropped off and plugged in. I have a friend who has spent 30 years for a 'manufactured' home builder. Their biggest problem is they have to adapt each model to local city building codes. His plant supplies only 4 cities instead of the entire state.

One more thing: I lived in the Golden State my entire life and have seen all manner of developments built during the housing booms. Homes built by capitalistic (and ethical) developers are the best homes, located in desirable environs and populated with families who invested in their children’s future. Cheap housing by low-bidders became instant dumps. This bill guarantees instant dumps everywhere, with high crime rates.

The problem is that the current situation exists from the over-stifling laws already written. More laws from a "Central Committee" will not solve this problem. The market needs to solve this, not some overseeing, elite politicians. Remove laws and regulations and it will be fixed.

The author is idiotic, but the bill may not be. It sounds like it would allow for more building, which would in turn create a greater supply and should, in principle, lower-cost. Of course, the article also contains much nonsense. The current problems in California are not related to the Trump Era. They are the result of 30 years of liberal policy and practice. And the idea that more housing will solve the so-called "homeless problem" is absurd. Street people exist because they are dysfunctional, and Left-wing ideologues refuse to recognize that and take the appropriate steps.

The writer says this bill will ameliorate California's housing shortage by building more muti-family infill housing in violation of existing zoning laws. * Wouldn't the same thing be achieved with absolutely zero construction, zero capital cost, and no environmental impact by deporting all illegal aliens? * If the bill passes, California would become denser, cheaper, greener, and more affordable—a state less centered on car culture, and more centered on walkable neighborhoods. A "walkable neighborhood" in any Utopian jurisdiction is nothing more than a victim preserve.

So lucky you. You can live in an affordable 2 bedroom apartment with your drug dealing neighbors across from a pretty park filled with more drug dealing neighbors. And you'll only be a short walk from the bus stop for your commute. Sounds like New York City. Oh wait !!! Isn't that where the Atlantic is published ?

How wrongheaded can a person be? If the bill passes, California would become denser, cheaper, greener, and more affordable—a state less centered on car culture, and more centered on walkable neighborhoods; less responsive to the aesthetic complaints of longtime property owners, more responsive to the needs of young families. The central economic crisis of the Trump years—high inequality, a shrinking middle class, and an excruciatingly high cost of living—would become less daunting. And California would be a lesson to other states whose residents are facing jumping rents and long commutes. California is just fine. We have always afforded it. My bi-weekly housekeeper and her family can afford it. Our kids can afford it. Their friends can afford it. They don’t live in Brentwood or Bel Air, but they do live in decent houses in nice neighborhoods. This is liberal rubbish. They would turn our nice single family neighborhoods - most with modest sized homes - into sterile apartment boxes. Multifamily residences like the ones that have killed big cities and damaged kids. No more homes with yards for kids to play in, have pets. Just so more people can afford to live here? Meanwhile there are huge amounts of California territory that are barren. Why were they not developed? Because the nearest cities didn’t want to extend services to them unless it was done in concentric rings.

#7 I don't think it's a good idea for the federal government (or even a statewide government such as CA) to dictate every detail of your home's construction so that manufactured home companies can make more money. I'm so old (How old are you?) I remember when huge apartment towers of subsidized housing were the Great Promise.

I’ve been a licensed Architect in CA for 28 years. I have retired now and one of the biggest factors in going dark is the plan check and permit process has gotten completely out of control over the years. The very last new house I did was in Oxnard. It was a very simple two story cracker box house. S as simple as it gets. It y to took 2-1/2 years from when I signed the contract with the owner to final building permit approval. Twenty years ago the exact same job would have taken six months. I’m over it. The intent of this bill is great but it will never happen.

Of course if its being considered by the Democrats its the opposite of good. Sounds like AB 50 would make CA more like NYC by forcing more congestion. IMO Building more housing when there isn't any more resources like water is just theft from me and everyone else. I'm tired of going from a place with plenty of resources to now paying hundred more for things like water and power.

California's democrats don't do anything without having a motive behind it. I would not trust this bunch in Sacramento as far as I could toss the lot of them. Nothing except a complete change of the legislature from democrat control to a more responsible republican control, along with sealing the border and getting as many of the illegals out of our nation is going to make Cali livable again. The fact that Mini Mike Bloomberg is touting Cali as being a great role model for the rest of the nation should tell us all we need to know. I realize the problem is concentrated mostly in the coastal urban areas of LA, SF, but geeze louise, that state is the ruination of its citizens right now. Being a neighboring state, I cannot excuse them any longer.

I reached where Annie referred to California as the biggest state and got a sudden-eye-roll cramp. But Atlantic likes to build up the spin cycle gradually, making the transition from reality to fantasy less startling to readers. For years I'd tolerate minor-but-blatant distortions like that, shrugging them off as metaphorical or stylistic affectations. But I'm tired of getting buttered-up like that in preparation for some fresh 'progressive' propaganda to be either shoved down my throat or rammed up the other end.

There is an 80 square mile ranch about 1 hour East of San Francisco, which is up for sale after being in the same hands for 85 years. 1 square mile = 640 acres It would be very easy to develop and ensure lots of low-income housing, if the state would just allow it, and get out of the way. However, the state has set aside $222 million for land purchases to preserve open space, and this parcel is at the top of the list to remove from any possible development. There's a 140 acre site situated between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, but they are also working to remove it from possible development. Another site in Fullerton, owned by Chevron, has been tied-up in lawsuits for over 15 years, simply because the people in the area don't want more development in their high-end home area - they want it to be a park, and have worked on securing funds to do just that. Just South of downtown Los Angeles, is an old Sears building, about 8 stories, and abandoned for years. A few modifications, and they could likely house thousands of homeless there, and set up health clinics in the parking lot to ensure they have access to health services.

The death of Harry Dunn, an English teenager who was killed on August 27 2019, sparked a “bitter diplomatic row” between Great Britain and the United States. At the center of this row is the concept of “diplomatic immunity.” While riding his motorcycle, Dunn was killed in a head on collision with an SUV near RAF Croughton, a military base used by the U.S. Air Force. British police identified the driver as Anne Sacoolas — the wife of an American diplomat — and said that she was driving “on the wrong side of the road” when the collision occurred.

I’m only a first-generation native, but this ludicrous place feels like my ancestral homeland. My home as a baby was just a few blocks from Santa Monica State Beach in Los Angeles. As the years passed, I moved progressively further east, away from the glorious Pacific Ocean of my childhood. At one point I lived as far away as France, but gradually wandered home, washed inexorably back. Before I was born, my east coast parents moved here so my dad could surf on the weekends. I never surfed, but my friends and I became proficient boogie boarders. I met my first boyfriend and encountered my first shark on Santa Monica beach.

Another first reportedly arrived two days ago: a clandestine meeting in Saudi Arabia between the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman.

The Arkansas Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Democrat Jimmie Wilson is ineligible to serve in the state Legislature due to decades-old misdemeanor convictions in federal court, wiping out Wilson's victory at the polls earlier this month in House District 12. Wilson, a former state lawmaker who was convicted of selling mortgaged crops and illegal use of farm loans, had argued that a pardon he received from President Bill Clinton in 2001 removed any barriers to his potential return to the Legislature. Running against Republican David Tollett, Wilson received more than 52% of the vote in the Nov. 3 election. A unanimous decision by the high court, however, held that the pardon

Trump needs to have overwhelming evidence of election fraud, and he needs to bring that evidence to light in very public hearings. Without such evidence, his claims won’t be taken seriously enough—by the press or a sufficient number of the electorate—to ensure a peaceful transition to a second term. The rush job to affirm Biden as president-elect by the media and the Democrat Party is not constitutionally required, and indeed smacks of a kind of desperation to avoid scrutiny. Contrary to their claims, Trump’s thorough investigation of potential large-scale election fraud is fully in accord with the Constitution. As the one in whom executive power is vested,

And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says.
