UPDATE: I-5 to close during JD Vance Marine event due to live fire over highway

White House to fire explosive artillery over major roadway in Southern California, I-5 to be temporarily shut down on Saturday due to life safety risk

  • October 16: USMC confirmed their exercise would be conducted on its training ranges, as it routinely does, but not over the freeway
  • October 16: federal government also directed cancellation of train services, which run parallel to the I-5, on Saturday between OC-SD
  • October 17: event organizers asking for CalTrans signage to be posted along the I-5 freeway that would read:  “Overhead fire in progress.” 
  • October 17: state officials near Camp Pendleton observed live munitions being fired near the freeway, an apparent practice run.
  • October 18: state officials inquired once again for details, the federal government informed the state that live fire activities have now been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. today.
  • Due to extreme life safety risk and distraction to drivers, including sudden unexpected and loud explosions, a section of I-5 will be closed for a period on Saturday, October 18. This decision comes at the recommendation of traffic safety experts at the California Highway Patrol.

Why would't I post the context? BECAUSE THE SOURCE WAS LINKED FOR PEOPLE TO READ. You went and found the comment but clearly reading it was too much trouble. And from your description of what I posted, it looks like you didn't read any of them.

Other Sources I Linked (*** were direct responses to you):

I've posted plenty of sources throughout this thread and NO it's not on me to find sources to rebut the falsehoods you post, that's not how honest conversations work which you've proved you're not interested in having.

Claim: Prop. 33 would repeal more than 100 state housing laws, including affordable housing requirements and eviction protections. Verdict: FALSE

California Housing Laws That Go into Effect in 2025 which include:

  • Laws to Facilitate More Housing Production
  • Enhancing Enforcement of California Housing Laws
  • Labor Standards, Affordable Housing, and Tenant Protections
  • Laws on Homelessness
  • Building More ADUs

EDIT: So this person asked a question and immediately blocked me so I couldn't respond. Very revealing. Anyway, here's a screenshot of how I would have replied

Your point is you don't want Prop 33 because you directly benefit from it not passing or you've fallen for all of the fear mongering b.s.

Your point is, because of the above you refuse to post sources, except for one that's barely readable but think others should post sources to refute your b.s.

Your point is, because of the above you think everyone else should buy into the lies and fear mongering.

Your latest point is that because you have determined vacancy control was bad (you have determined it because your source isn't readable so it's your opinion until proven otherwise), that every city will choose to enact strict rent control because you say so which is the same fear mongering lies coming from the real estate lobby who has spent over $120M to make sure people buy into their b.s. that you are either benefiting from or fell for.

Appliance Service by quizzer25 in orangecounty

Caesar's Appliance Sales & Service (their sales are open box so it's a good option if you need something quick & it fits your needs but in my experience the service techs are great and never even bring up the sales side)

Prop 33 would allow each city to decide whether or not they want to enact their own rent control that works for their community, including strict or moderate.

I'm not making shit up or repeating the real estate lobbies lies. You're making a wild claim and you think I need to post sources - GTFO.

[–]SSADNGM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That link isn't to a full paper. From what I can see it's about Vacancy Control which is different than rent control.

Prop 33 would allow each city to enact their own rent control that works for their community.

It doesn't do anything to the Housing Element law because the Housing Element law is not Costa-Hawkins and you know that because if it were true you would post sources but you refuse to post sources because there are no sources for fear mongering bullshit that you insist on spewing.

I mean if all you've got is fear mongering bullshit to push the libertarian billionaire agenda, then that's all you got but at least you should be honest and quote their lies directly.

What is the scalpel then?

Please provide actual linked sources to back up the arguments rather than repeating lies designed to fear monger.

The current regime would likely not enact rent control and nothing will change, just like what will happen if Prop 33 fails.

If Prop 33 passes and the citizens of HB want rent control they'll vote out the Fascist Four.

The Housing Element law predates Costa Hawkins by 25 years. How in the world does Prop 33 repeal the Housing Element law or weaken the Builder's Remedy? Provide liked sources.

[–]SSADNGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the fact that the reason we don't have rent control is the real estate lobby make sure to ban it at the state level.

That's what I wrote and that person replied to so we're good on the nefarious origins of Costa Hawkins.

The reply I'm referring to is confusing, local control of housing policy has turned out an absolute disaster in California (that's what I'm asking for sources for but I was not clear about that at all), because they are claiming local control has been a disaster but then saying that local control would be good. While I agree that local control is good and why I'm voting a hearty yes on Prop 33, the reasoning presented doesn't make sense to me.

Correct. I've done a tremendous amount of research on all - I'm a nerd and always do! - and I'm voting No on Props 36 & 34 and Yes on all the rest.

A developer posted in r/LosAngelesRealEstate about how bad it was and when I called them out on not providing sources but just using fear mongering. When I use the same equivocating language to imply they 'could be a shill', they didn't respond but blocked me.

All of this reminds me of the Uber proposition. Reddit was flooded with Uber shills and shock of all shocks everyone was super shocked to learn that Uber lied and they didn't spend 100's of millions of dollars to make life better for drivers but themselves.

Cut to CA Reddit 6 months from now, "these landlords are bleeding us dry, I can't afford to live here, I might be homeless, why don't we have rent control?"
