California has laws that don't help, but SF picked the wrong horse in regards to ideology, which shapes their approach to dealing with crises. I don't believe that the city is somehow powerless in regards to better policy-making. Even the housing stuff could be dealt with if they just admitted they had a real problem and worked to solve it. But the city has consistently rejected proposals for new types of public housing from various interest groups. So....*shrug*.

I realize you’re hellbent on making this about political parties, but it really isn’t, which was my point.

The parties are a factor here, but the issues go back further so I'm not disagreeing with you completely.

you'll see hell freeze over (from man made climate change) before a conservative supports that

in fact you can see that the proposed 2019 federal budget is taking a sledgehammer to public housing

Thank God you’ll be at the polls on Election Day to stop this tyranny

Jamie Oliver's like "and now some soy sauce for a zesty Asian kick!"

If he puts a trigger warning on the box itll be okay.
