Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

MODERATORS
There are also carve-outs around city population specifically so it doesn't apply to Beverly Hills and around the number of rail stations in a county so it doesn't apply to Contra Costa County.
It's the most nothing burger of all time.
And even if it didn't it's just upzoning. Granted bad zoning laws are a problem sometimes but asking "developers" to decide to make apartments means you're just going to get overpriced condos that will be used by blackstone as a financial instrument and not the kinds of affordable apartments that would bring prices down across the board.
Newsom's media people are working hard right now to make everything he does seem really great. He sees his shot at the presidency in 2028.
Even if he wanted to do social housing (he doesn't), it's basically illegal under the CA Constitution and would require a statewide ballot to change. Article 34.
They tried a few years back and it went down in flames.
Yeah California's constitution has a bunch of stupid stuff like that baked in by the neolibs, like affirmative action is illegal here too (not that that stops racists from thinking we're doing it all the time).
Housing price go down is non-negotiable.
