MODERATORS
are republicans promising to abolish landlords now?
Huh no answer to his question. Funny that...
What a moronic, trolling response. These problems aren't unique to California nor any other state. It's a national issue. If Republicans are the "poverty saviors" like you claim, then why are all the poorest states red states? CA has the 5th largest economy in the world FFS.
I see you're the same "FreedomAdvocate" from that other post where you were arguing that it's imperative that the government lock citizens away in a mental institution without any sort of due process. So much for "freedom," eh? That really highlights what you're really all about, which is spreading right-wing propaganda and disinformation.
I think you'll find California had a Republican governor 20 years ago, and they couldn't pay their their tax refunds.
You're the one who missed the point.
Landlords and the system that treats housing as a profitable investment is the cause of high costs of living. This happens everywhere in the US. Cities where people want to live in the reddest of the red states have the exact same cost of living problems. Its a fundamental problem that is inherent to for-profit real estate.
Neither party wants to dismantle that system. Your solution is not a solution. High cost of living cannot be solved by switching to the other current political party.
the two party duopoly
the other people you propose support the exact same policies that make it worse.
Your solution continues to not be a solution.
there are ways to influence governments beyond your vote.
I'm doing fine how are you?
Still didn't answer the question I see.
Lol
as I recall, the question was:
I'll give you a hint, it was rhetorical question.
In case you're unaware https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetorical_question
it actually is
I'm so confused. Do you think just because they keep going for democratic president candidates that Democrats are the problem?
I'd be more interested in seeing the governors list.
But setting that aside, the COL should be shown alongside the average income because just COL is disengious and doesn't show the whole picture.
High cost of living is also largely influenced by people's desire to live there. It's very likely that the Democrats are the fucking reason people WANT to be there.
Republicans might lower cost of living but only because everyone starts to fucking leave.
unless your living in a rural area where its LCOL, thinking republicans will change, they wont they will make renting worst. nimbyism and zoning laws are the main issues in cali.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
We gave the gov't 80+ billion dollars in taxes. Texas took 70 billion from the gov't.
What has any Southern California Republican done or proposed to lower the cost of living? Southern California has the best and most desirable climate in the entire world. The cost of living there reflects that. The only other places with a similar climate are hard core Muslim theocracies (see Casablanca).
Still waiting to hear what southern CA republicans have done for the housing crisis. Rather than answer my principal question, you asked another question. Unacceptable.
Still not an answer
I live here. Shit's better here than any red state I've lived in that's for fucking sure.
Do you live here? Or are you just another conservative who shits on my state without having ever stepped foot in this place.
I live in LA. You can find apartments here for cheap if you look.
The whole reason southern California and the Bay Area are both expensive, is because they are some of the most desirable places to live in the entire country.
Simple as that.
Allowed =/= capability
