Joe Biden believes housing is a right.

Robert E Lee did lose. But so did the right of states to remove themselves from a Government they do not like or want.

States join the nation with the approval of the other states. That's how they can leave the nation. The South didn't even attempt to ask the other states for permission to leave. They simply declared their secession in order to preserve slavery and White Supremacy, and attacked American troops. Very shameful way of trying to declare their so-called "freedom".
 
Ok, what is the specific criteria which defines human right?
I can get you started: conceived by man and then articulated by man.

Next, IMO, codified by man and then enforced or protected by man.
 
How did teh state of California make housing expensive?
What do you expect from not very bright people, indeed.
Taxes as well as high prices on real estate. High population , not enough housing. Now bring in millions of poverty immigrants who also need housing. Exodus of people with assets going elsewhere. Less tax base. Producers leave, poverty stays. Corrections eventually come.
 

This is a very poor statement. In class I would need grade this a d-.
High population is caused by being desirable. People move to desirable areas. Places can be desirable for various reasons. In CA the desirability is both climate and employment opportunity principally.
The rest of your post has nothing to do with the conversation and is but a jumble of irrational thought which shows you do not understand government's function or workings.
High taxes tend to deflate property values not inflate them.

Honest, this post is completely void of substance and just rambles. Clearly you are parroting the simple utterances of wingnut propaganda without even applying it properly.

You'd D- is only above failure because you do seem to understand that change is inevitable. Yes people are leaving economic giants and bringing development to other areas. This is a normal evolution.

Honest though, I graded you very generously. I will not again be as lenient so be better prepared for your next post or hold your tongue.
 

Poor poor noonereal. Thinks he is some sort of genius when he is wrong way more then he is right and runs away any time his bs is called out.

It would be sad if it weren’t so funny to watch.
 
No I didn't. If I had, you would have quoted the text. I deal exclusively in upscale rental apartments. The people I rent to can live anywhere they choose.

Furthermore, it isn't always illegal to discriminate against section 8 tenants:
I did quote your exact words. And your admitting you are a landlord even now.

And yes, while there are some legal reasons to raise rent. You , in your post just confessed to one of the reasons that is not legal.



No, your solution is a direct contradiction to your claim. You have just admitted that landlords in general are a greedy and unscrupulous lot who will discriminate and profiteer off of the poor. Give me one good reason as to why anyone would want such immoral people to have the right to practice business as they choose. Especially when you argue that given the opportunity they will put their own personal profit above any consideration for the tenet. If what you say is true then a real solution would be to force landlords to join a regulatory association.

No, the disclosure was that I would profit off of this latest iteration of progressive idiocy as it would push all rents higher
.
So, thank you. You have made my point. In america consideration for profit goes before consideration of others. Your profit will come from tax payer money being invested into the voucher. Do you have no consideration that it is yourself and every other tax payer who paying for your profit?

Why are you commenting on a subject that you know absolutely nothing about?
Should that not be a comment I could make about you as you have confessed that your in the high end market. How do you justify the fact that up end market tenets are using a section 8 voucher that you now claim you will profit from?

Or is it that just because the poor housing areas are raising rent then the high end is justified in following along.

another disgruntled student, such is life
 
Illegals desire California for benefits, sanctuary cities, politicians devoted to illegals, no threat of deportation. Yes taxes are running the middle class and business out. California was paradise, not anymore. California is a show place for stupidity in politics. New York is running citizens out of their state. My state is swamped with them. Not in a desirable way.
Bringing in millions more poverty immigrants does not help our housing problems. You want to put them up in nice housing, while thousands of Americans are living in tent slums all across California? You see them as voters. Back in 2007-9 , govt believed all are entitled to home ownership, this led to policies that created ninja loans, subprime loans. When those defaults happened, our country went down the drain.
Biden is a fool. he has many loyal followers.

Not being in your class is a blessing.

Imagine hearing someone say "housing is a right" and your response is "what a terrible person!!!"

Jesus Christ, the amount of hate the right is filled with. Utterly disgusting.
So you feel the Democrats treated Donald Trump with the respect the office of the President usually deserves? Are you joking here?
 
The rights in the Declaration / Bill of Rights are inalienable and fundamental.
Inalienable? What cannot be taken from humans?
 
We all know Bernie Sanders believes healthcare is a right, but he's a democratic socialist, which means he is an idiot.
Right-libertarians shouldn't "throw stones."
 
So if the people decide black people are the legitimate property of white people, then white people have the right to own black people, according to your "reasoning".
Yep. Thats how it works. Rather than some hazy list of rules that no one can define.


Rights are what the people decide

I don't think that is sufficient.
