She stated the permitting issues, Senator confirmed with the info on intentional nightmare logistics we’ve set up as a blockade to building. It’s not black or white but categorically declining any cooperation with the state puts her in some weird maga space. Did she run as a progressive?

I met Scott when he was running to be d10 supervisor in San Francisco in 2010. I think. he was standing on the street getting signatures to run. I signed but this was way before I knew anything about housing economics. so ironic. I thought I was a progressive at the time and signed to be nice.

what is there to debate. housing is an essential thing that we need for people to live for the love of God

It’s hard to imagine Councilmember Padilla coming off much worse in this conversation.

She comes off as a complete moron.

Why? She’s trying to protect the quality of life of existing residents.

no she isn't. none of this affects their quality of life. there is no reason she should get a say in design decisions for apartment buildings built in her district

wrong

it's well known that quality of life plummets when homeowners are brutally forced to look at four story buildings

Imagine my daily horror.

Chicago babyeee

come on

Of existing home owners. She’s actively screwing all youth, renters, would be home buyers, merchants, taxpayers, etc, not even considering the rest of the region

People who aren't landowners aren't full citizens

Living in your mom’s basement doesn’t make you a landowner.

There’s no difference between people who try and shut the door behind them once they have theres, and our ridiculous immigration policy. That’s immoral.

Ladder puller uppers. I despise them as much as I do some pretty outright selfish people. At least one of them is immoral and honest.

A six story apartment building doesn't negatively impact quality of life. The region has a fucking housing crisis and sprawling out ain't the solution. LA needs to get the fuck over itself and build upward.

No she's not. She's protecting precious pearl clutchers and throwing poor people into the street because they can't afford the ridiculous housing prices resulting from scarcity she's manufacturing.

“Quality of life”

I mean, only if you own a SFH or if you plan to stay in the same 1970s dingbat apartment forever

you do realize that "quality of life" is just the pretext they use to mean "rack up property prices"

Your quality of life won’t go down if there is a six story building next to you. Would even increase since there will be fewer homeless people

She's building a wall and she's gonna make Northridge pay for it.

Do you also think you should get a veto on what position your neighbors have sex in? How about whether they're allowed to watch baseball tonight? How many stories the building next to you has does not harm you as long as they're constructed to standards, so you don't get a veto on that either.

You probably think you're entitled to decide what women do with their own bodies, too. Take your anti-choice agenda elsewhere.

So we read your comment. And your profile. Save it for St. Peter at the gate.

"Free will" Unless you want to build housing, then no free will for you.

Her policies are driving car dependency, which is the leading source of american CO2 emissions.

Yeah but on the other hand, car dependency also kills hundreds of Angelenos every year.

While I don’t like adding more infrastructure for cars. People still want independent freedom especially if communities keep building shitty ass suburbs. Everyone wants public rail, anything else is a band-aid. I’m not biking to work. (Granted I live in Ohio so my point may be moot)

Get an ebike they're magic

Nah. If I get anything it will be like an actual Yamaha, or Honda sports bike.

Demand destruction the hard way

Hundreds in car crashes and pedestrian deaths, probably tens of thousands due to air pollution

Have you considered, though, that most of her constituents really can't afford cars, gas, and insurance, so forcing them to drive everywhere is incredibly regressive and harmful in the immediate term? She doesn't hate working people and the poor. She just acts indistinguishably from those that do. 😵

her and richie torres having a battle of shitty appearances this week

I dunno Richie Torres might be an all time bad interview appearance. She just nimby'd it up.

Incredibly relevant song youtu.be/ratQlft_G5c

19:15 for the moment it was as bad as you made it out to be holy shit
