socialism is government control of resources
hardly socialism. try a social contract, I pay in now so i get SS insurance later.
subsidized HC,, I pay Part B. sociliazed HC is means tested for others
Time doesnt stand still - it's the circle of life to dumb it down for you
F*** that, they have earned some rest. The young people need to do their share now.
and here we go, more ACTUAL authoritarian crap by the DEMOCRATIC party.
Neither do the homeless.
we dont want addtional population density with apt buildings and multi-familiy homes.
if they cant fund new infrastructure, why do you want more residential density?
No. We need the immigrants. Someone has to pay taxes to fund the socialism being received by the Boomers and older generations and do the labor to keep the economy chugging along. The next generations of Americans aren't as big as the older ones were because most Americans don't care to have (nor can they afford) 4, 5, 6+ kids.
No it is socialism.
Still socialism. Even if you don't want to accept that reality.
If you think believing that housing is a right is something only Democrats believe, or that it is authoritarian, you are obviously ignorant about the subject.
Well somebody has to own the property to be able to rent it to you. So your own argument fails, clearly the property management companies and property developers believe owning is more profitable or else they’d lease property to sublease to you
Property tax does encourage productive use of land, that’s why you see lots of strip malls and the old “taxpayer” buildings, or surface parking lots. Which are value ads.
Supposedly but there’s not really evidence that it does. Estonia has this tax and I see no evidence it encourages more development. The level of development in a society is dependent on many things and tax policy is way at the bottom. A city can only have so many high rise office towers and so if you’re taxing the land block by block you’re in effect overcharging the apartments rented to working people to subsidize profits from a bank headquarters tower.
Well you say everything when you characterize city government as “four bored shrieking Karen’s” this has not been my observation going to county commission meetings
No, that’s not socialism
lol..insurance isn't socialism.. we have a social contract to pay now for money later because our working income potential drops like as stone past 65
Says who?
Why do you assume they aren't?
Tell that to the working poor, younger generations that have no chance at owning a home and the homeless who don't have ANY place to live.
Why? We need to increase housing availability. We need the workers to fund the social security, medicare, etc. for the Boomers and above.
Then why are you asking younger generations to work past 65 before they get benefits?
no
what?
ya it's called going to works and paying your bills
of which your party is DETERMINED to make MORE of, millions upon millions by allowing illegal entry to flow freely within this country.
I dont. Im in favor of means testing the rich for SSA, not raising the retirement age
easy,.. because they haven't worked hard until they are 67 or older yet.
Not with communism , we don't
Yeah, we have strong protections of private property especially residential ones. You seem to think we should adopt a Kruschev model for housing
By which expert?
Yea. This has happened for decades. When the amnesty was passed in the 1980s we had maybe 3 million illegals in the country nearly all of them Mexican which isn’t that bad, now we have as many as 20 million the majority of which are not from bordering countries, and that’s not even including an influx of wealthy legal aliens from India and China who just buy property as a hedge against financial uncertainty in their home countries.
Homeless people often do turn down housing options because it involves getting clean and they get kicked out of others because they’re destructive to property. Street vagrancy is not a product of a “housing crisis” maybe there’s some people on the margins of homelessness who used to live in boarding houses or flop houses, but for the most part these are people struggling with addition and mental illness who cannot be disciplined enough to hold down a job to pay rent no matter how good the rent is.
I will demean lifestyle people who refuse to make nice with their families and want to live in cities they can’t make it in. I made it in LA if you can’t make it here pack up and go home, we’ll both be better for it
I am forewarning you. population density present much more problems then it solves with extra workers
Why do old people get singled out? Get to work you lazy bums. Get out of the nursing home and contribute something to GDP.
whatever
wait till i get my cane, now my meds, and my special needs, and I'm going to need an afternoon nap
You can tax earnings on social security for cheaper than creating a new department to means test it.
That was the societal commentDid you want a biography? I could offer you one--I've disclosed most of them in the blog space here.
Otherwise, you could address the SOCIETAL issue and leave my children out of it, thank you
and the inevitable MORE demand for housing.
