The Real timschochet

And this shows the shallowness of YOUR thinking. Without these folks taking their place at the bottom of the food chain costs go up much higher. We need these people no matter what it costs to house them. It’s pennies on the dollar compared to their financial benefit to us. That’s what people like you never seem to undestand- mainly because you don’t want to.

You tell me.

You don’t. You promote it. Affordable housing isn’t a question of space; we have plenty of room in Southern California. It’s a question of will. That’s true of all immigration to the United States. We have room for all of these folks. The question is do we want them? I do. Most of you don’t. I’m in the minority and don’t expect to win this fight but that doesn’t make me wrong.

Not true. If I was working in a construction or land development company and thinking about going into business for myself now is the time to do it. Get a small business loan and take the risk. Same for any field associated with construction and development. Same for small retail. There’s going to be tons of opportunity here if you’re bold enough to grab it.

Well I dunno. There’s a lot of competition.

Of course I care. It’s why I oppose every effort to clamp down on affordable housing (always sponsored by Republicans.)

And we’re going to rebuild all those homes and commercial property. Maybe not exactly the same manner but it’s going to be done. Los Angeles is going to be an economic boomtown in the next few years. People are going to make fortunes here.

New immigrants to this area (or any area) don’t rent or own the same type of places that people like my in laws reside in. You’re talking apples and oranges. Do they impact each other? Maybe long term but even that’s debatable. Doesn’t matter anyhow; we need them.

I think Karen Bass has done a poor job. I question her competence. I don’t think if she had done a better job it would have made very much of a difference. None of this has anything to do with her race or DEI or any liberal program or ideology.

Because you and others keep repeating tired nonsense. It’s completely absurd to believe that liberal policies or woke or DEI caused this fire. It’s completely absurd to believe that if we had conservatives in charge the fire would have been prevented or more successfully fought. It’s total crap and only a moron would believe such garbage.

It’s not my aim to convince you of anything. Believe what you wish. ETA but it wasn’t a client. It was my in-laws.i don’t normally do residential work.

Another problem is that landlords continue to demand proof of renters insurance before allowing possession, as they should. But most of the insurance companies have placed a halt on all new insurance in LA county no matter how minor. So this needs to be resolved one or another.

Rental rates continue to soar and the amount of vacancies is almost nil. I was able to secure an apartment for my family in west LA last Friday in the nick of time (only because I got a lucky after many inquiries). That isn’t available now. Nothing is. If you’re looking for an apartment to relocate in Los Angeles might as well move to another county.

And this narrative is also bullsh!t

This narrative is bullsh!t

Exactly 100% of what you write here is the opposite of the truth. Has there ever been a poster less suited to his name? Well maybe @Tree of Knowledge

There is no comparison to Maui or Colorado. And “Butch Crew”? If you want to see trash look in a mirror.

It really pains me that you’re an Eagles fan because I think they’re going to win it all this year. And you don’t deserve that.

Well making you look like an idiot loser seems worthy enough. But then I don’t need to be here for that so I’m just not really sure.

When idiots like @BirdGang act like they know what’s going on that’s when you know that the world is officially focked up. Man we are in for a long 4 years. All the fools are about to be in charge. Things are going to be so screwed up by the time we get a chance to fix things…makes me shudder to think about it.

Ha ha. OK then. Go fock yourself.

I’m reading that McCarthy, having been fired by Dallas, might be heading to Chicago. Thats certainly an improvement on what they had, but it’s not the dynamic coach that I think Caleb needs.

The first wave will be almost all convicted violent felons. Maybe 60,000 people or so. Thats gonna take about a year. Almost nobody is going to complain about getting rid of these people. I certainly won’t. Be gone and good riddance. After that is when it becomes trouble. The MAGA crowd is expecting that the millions of folks here without documents who don’t commit violent crimes will be rounded up and deported as well. I very much doubt that will ever happen. And if it DOES happen I think it will be extremely unpopular. We’ll see. But my guess is that despite all the rhetoric Trump and the Republicans will simply tighten up the border, deport the violent ones, and call it a day.

Seriously? https://www.ntu.org/foundation/detail/who-pays-federal-income-taxes-across-states#:~:text=The top four states by,York%2C Texas%2C and Florida. Top 4 states for federal income tax: California, New York, Texas, Florida. And California is #1. What else were you expecting?

My religious beliefs are none of your concern. My comments about anti-Semitism have nothing to do with my personal identity. I feel the same EXACT way about bigotry against Jews as I do about bigotry against Christians or against Muslims. It’s all disgusting, it all deserves to be called out and condemned.
