Would you say median per Assembly District of 2.4% is "a huge amount"? www.library.ca.gov/crb/quick-hi...
tvanl (@tvanl.bsky.social) reply parent
It would do a little but would not solve the problem. In San Diego short term rental count is less than we build in 1 year. So even if you can return all of them to the long-term rental market, we will still need to build a ton of housing.

I whole-heartedly disagree with the City of Ottawa administration's decision to mandate a full return to the office for City staff on Jan. 1. I wasn't supportive when federal public services were forced back into the office, and I certainly don't support it now.

Look, if hospitals are going to close (let's assume they are) the choice is which ones to keep open. Do Democrats benefit more by keeping open hospitals which support reliable voters who have consistently votes? Or by keeping open the ones which support fascists and some hypothetical maybe voters?
