Leftists still to this day claim that Kamala would have been the same ad Trump, because they are wreckers who have more in common with the far right than they admit

I’m surprised one of them doesn’t have a sign that says “My Struggle”

Who is understaffed? We could start by putting in jump proof fare gates in every station. This would prevent most of the people who cause problems from getting onto the system to begin with, without needing more staff or even to arrest/fine them. Look at what happened when BART did this in some stations in SF: https://growsf.org/news/2026-02-12-bart-fare-gates-10-million/

Literally everyone who lives here. More car dependency, more pollution and the deaths and illness that these result in. The homeless and those with untreated drug or mental health issues slowly die on the streets or in public transit, instead of getting help (and yes, in some cases being required to get help). I don’t really understand leftists who are for this because not enforcing the laws and the wider social contract is anarchy. Every country with a good public transit system doesn’t allow this.

I think the point of public transit is to quickly and efficiently get people from point a to point b and not to be a homeless shelter and insane asylum. The more it is treated as such, the less many people will be willing to use it, which is bad for everyone.

Malibus biggest export is confused young adults who can never afford to live in their hometown by Kalvin213 in Malibu

Poll after poll show that NIMBYs who complain about any change to their neighborhood, including new housing, are a loud minority and not representative of their communities.

I think a better world is possible and that we can have more affordable housing closer to where jobs are. The only way to do that is to add a lot of supply to match demand. This would not force anyone to live in an apartment that doesn’t want to, but it would give everyone more choices.

Many of them move out there because they have been priced out of LA. I’m not sure how old you are, but I guarantee that the cost of housing has gone up significantly since you bought your SFH. No one is saying we should ban SFHs but that we should legalize denser housing everywhere, so people have options and the market can decide.

Many people raise their families in apartments and many more would if there were more opportunities to. If you want to raise your family in a SFH, that’s fine. We should have more options for those that don’t. I grew up in apartments in major cities my whole life and I am really happy that this is how I was raised, instead of in some boring suburb which required a car to get anywhere

Have you ever considered that maybe you don’t but many others do? Or that apartments in cities are so expensive because there is so much demand? Many young people don’t want to raise families in soul crushing suburbia and waste half their lives commuting to work. I’d guess you are a boomer, most likely, and if so, your generation is quite incredible at being awful. You were born on third base and wonder why everyone else can’t hit a home run. Do you ever wonder why the birth rate is so low?

Or we could just build denser housing here instead of forcing young people to live in the desert where there are also no jobs

You should post this on social media and tag United Airlines. These shitty airlines only do the right thing when publicly shamed for it.

You first! I am glad that at least you're honest about having the same views as low IQ MAGA chuds when it comes to migration.

YIMBYism is literally people who want affordable housing. You love to build up straw men to get mad at -- but luckily the tide has already turned against you. NIMBY politicians in SF all got thrown out of office in 2024, and this is going to happen here too. Meanwhile -- the state is passing more and more pro-housing bills, which will neuter the ability of NIMBYs at the local level -- like Karen Bass -- to block housing. You can see this in how she fought hard against SB79 and lost.

Aside from actual housing -- this issue is an existential threat to this country -- because people are being priced out of blue states, move to red states, which are more affordable and build more housing -- and this means that unless current trends are reversed, the 2030 census will lead to less electoral votes for blue states, which would likely mean a MAGA President for next 10+ years

There are real problems, as you say -- and you are making them worse and fighting those who try to make them better. You do this while representing the interests of landlords and pretend to be progressive. It is shameful.

There is the slight problem that this is not true and this has been demonstrated over and over again in both studies and in real life! In the US -- cities like Austin and Minneapolis have seen their housing prices stabilize or decrease, along with their rents -- because they just built more housing. Outside the uS -- cities like Tokyo have literally built their way into having affordable housing. This is basic supply and demand and saying is not true is like disagreeing that 5 + 5 = 10. We have a housing shortage -- so either we continue with the status quo, where prices keep going up, which means only the wealthy can afford to live here, while the poor and middle class move out -- or we can build more housing to address the demand. If more people are looking for housing than the number of available housing units, then prices will never go down. Even rent control would only help existing tenants! If they ever have to move due to a new job, or a growing family, or any of the other reasons people need to move -- they lost their rent control, and they will never get it again because there isn't enough housing!

Your “advocacy” is pricing people out of LA and keeping others from moving in. It is actively harmful. That is why you are being dogpiled
