politics | Because treaties ARE THE LAW! If the HIGHEST LAW OF THE LAND isn’t followed in regards to a specific group of people simply because of the group they belong to then the law is applied in an unequal manner. Private individuals ALREADY suffer discrimination because the government refused to follow its own law.

politics | No, and in truth, this might address some "collateral damage" caused by implicit racism. It seems needlessly surreptitious and circuitous to target a group with positive policy with the same obfuscating tactics that were used to disadvantage them in the first place. It could also be seen as playing along with the narra... |
politics | Sorry for the attitude. But yeah, Reddit does not need nor deserve money from its users.
It is ironic to say that and continue using the platform, I think, but it is undeniable that there is a lot of good conversation and access to timely news across the site. That said, Reddit itself facilitates none of that aside fr... |

politics | They’re present issues currently happening. As I have said multiple times. Land rights and land use is a huge issue, not to mention large portions of the oil fields are actually on treaty lands that were stolen in violation of treaties or that the black hills and the gold taken from them are Lakota territory.

politics | The question is how much race is the central problem at hand. Race clearly was a major issue for a long time and is still a big issue now, but in terms of company hiring practices and school acceptance rates, is race still a major factor in minorities not getting accepted or hired, as compared to poverty and other dis... |
politics | Unconscious bias is still bias. You don't have to be actively thinking like a racist to succumb to racist stereotypes that are unfortunately embedded in our culture without even realizing it.
Worse, underrepresentation is often a self-sustaining feedback loop. When minorities are explicitly barred from opportunities, ... |
politics | This is going way over your head. If a majority of assholes elects representatives to legislate their agenda, legality will undermine morality.

politics | The filibuster was always used one way. It was a tool to force a slim majority to deal with and compromise with the minority.

politics | So these emails seem to be sent after an internal meeting where a discussion was had on how to elevate airline security after 9/11, and that, due to legal requirements, their solution to that would have to be race-neutral, meaning no racial profiling. What they mean by the "interim question", is what are they going to ... |
politics | It did not really read to me as if he was 'suggesting' racial profiling, simply discussing the legality of doing so and whether or not such an extreme measure was warranted in the interests of national security. 9/11 sparked MANY internal discussions and led to things such as the Patriot Act, during which the balance ... |

You can tell the average age in this sub when they can't remember 9/11 and how terrible it was and how we didn't even know how to react. Not only were we profilin... |

I love california, and plan to get a huge California tattoo (lol) but I agree housing costs here are unethical and should be dealt with by the law. We need rent control. It should be illegal to pay rent in California to foreign companies. After 2008, w... |
politics | LOL if you think housing in CA is a free market.
Progressives have banded together with NIMBYs to oppose density under the pretense of preventing gentrification. A shortage of new housing caused by obstructive planning policy is a real issue.
This in turn raises housing prices more than a city like Seattle, which fac... |
politics | Nothing wrong with it, you're 100% right. The state hasn't done anything wrong in this regard, but also they need to make it cheaper/easier to build new housing. Homeowners allover have been riding the wave of their house prices increasing and fight against any new housing, and AirBnB has caused a lot of housing to be ... |
politics | Dude, your middle class citizens are moving from environmentally places to live like the Bay Area and flooding the high mountains and low deserts where there simply is not enough water to sustain the population because the rich liberals of California don’t want anything with an elevator in their coastal community.

politics | Building high rises reduces competitive pressure of the people who would be living in those high rises with the people who live in existing housing.
Not building new housing results in:
1) Those people choosing not to move there resulting in stagnating job growth
2) The people who do move there being the richest who ... |

It would bee great if the state would step in. But serious question. Do you think they will make it retro-active, AKA lowering rents? I don't think so. In other words, if the state doesn't do something soon, it is really going to be fucked up here. Seco... |
politics | Wait, are you saying China and Norway don’t operate under partial capitalistic societies because of course they do. Your understanding of what capitalism is needs some more in depth knowledge.
Socialistic democracies still operate in a capitalistic system just more regulated. If you’re talking about only countries th... |
politics | Affordable housing is low. Because everything is over priced thanks to foreign investors buying up houses for summer homes or to rent. Rents never same down during the recession. Home owner got to refinance or were foreclosed. The foreclosures were bought up by banks and sold to the lower bidders, who then turned them ... |
politics | Rent control is NOT the answer, it’s pretty much universally agreed upon by economists that rent control exacerbates rising housing costs. We need to BUILD. It’s simple supply and demand. There is not enough supply to meet demand, so we need more supply. We see this rule happening in places like downtown LA, where they... |
politics | Again, why is supply low? You haven’t answered. Because developers are not allowed to build.
If high rises were built some of the foreign investors would buy those condos instead of the existing houses. If they are buying up houses and leaving them empty, that’s a separate issue. I am 100% in favor of vacancy taxes li... |
politics | I’m not. I’m saying nimbysm is a part of capitalism. You’re arguing for totally unregulated construction codes which California has resoundingly rejected. So what’s YOUR point? You’re basically saying that anyone regulating anyone else’s land is anticapitalism or something but we already established through your rando... |
politics | NIMBYism is a factor in the current housing market. It is not a capitalist concept. Squares are shapes and have 4 corners. Shapes don’t all have 4 corners.
I’m not arguing for 100% free market in housing. I’m arguing against describing the regulatory aspects of the CA housing market as capitalist. A capitalist economy... |

It is not only unwise but nearly *impossible* for the builder to build housing with lower than market-rat... |
politics | And how do you plan to do that? Reduce or cap construction worker wages? Have the state tell land or property owners that they cannot sell their property above a certain price? Tell materials sellers that they cannot sell their materials above a certain price? Tell banks that they’re not allowed to make a spread off of... |
politics | I'm glad building works in LA, but you literally cannot build on the peninsula anymore. We are already mostly built on dangerous land fill. Most of San Francisco is built on literal garbage, so we can't even add more floors to the existing buildings because the foundation can't handle it. I have pondered the possibilit... |
politics | This is a good solution for places that physically can build more. Much of the bay area, and the San Francisco peninsula in particular, literally cannot build at greater density. Much of the peninsula is land fill. Someone dared to build a high rise condo where they shouldn't have, thinking exactly as you are, and it's... |
politics | San Francisco is 1/3 the population density of Paris and half the density of Brooklyn. Neither of those cities are dominated by 40+ story buildings.
What they do have is plenty of 4-6 story multi-family dwellings. SF is dominated by 2-3 story buildings and planning processes that make each new project difficult. There... |
politics | >I hope you don't think I like this situation. This is just facts.
The way you framed it made it sound like you don't think CA's government bares responsibility for the problem. I think they do. "The market did it" just means the government hasn't been regulating the market like it should.
>But serious question... |
politics | Even if every building in the city was only 3 stories, increasing levels by 33 to 100% would not come close to fixing our economic problem. The buildings that are 3 stories are mostly short because they can't be built higher anyway. It's no small thing to add three stories to a building erected on a landfill. The marin... |
politics | Every building isn’t 3 stories. Many are 2 or less, especially on the west side.
The buildings that are 2-3 stories were mostly built before 1940 and construction techniques have long progressed. You cite problems with one 50 story building to shoot down 6-story buildings, while other tall buildings are doing fine.
T... |
politics | There are a TON of low density and single family homes in SF. Of course tearing all that down would change the character of the city dramatically, that’s what there is. There’s also Oakland, Marin, and other surrounding areas that could physically support significantly higher density but don’t allow it from what I can ... |
politics | The tall buildings that are doing fine are on better ground. You're acting like every square foot of the peninsula is the same when it is certainly not. Just because a high-rise in soma is safe doesn't mean we can build 6 stories in the marina. That's just not true. If it was even somewhat safe, it would be done by now... |
politics | > The tall buildings that are doing fine are on better ground

politics | > funny enough you did not make any suggestions to address those problems yourself.
Actually, I clearly stated the planning process and NIMBYs are the problem. Streamline the process to get 6-stories built and you get more housing.
