I think a more equitable distribution of wealth than the status quo would be great, but I'm still not sure what you think of the judge's decision. Seems to me it's a good ruling, trying to push the locals to build more affordable housing. No, it won't solve homelessness, but it seems like the judge is helping, a little bit.
[edit] or is his ruling just theater?
- DoreenMichele 3y agoAnd I didn't comment on what the judge is doing. Because for me, that's kind of irrelevant, for reasons I've already covered.
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoThank you for clarifying.
- DoreenMichele 3y agoRe your edit: It's probably not just theater. It's probably a good faith effort to fix a problem that's poorly understood using the tools available in a situation where it's very challenging to try get a real solution implemented. But in practice that makes it not much better than theater. If it simply doesn't work, it makes little difference if they genuinely meant well or were consciously going through the motions to "look good" without having to deliver real results.
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoYes this sounds accurate to me. He drew a line in the sand, as you say, but it's incredibly ineffective, almost to being pointless. I guess I hope at least one person gets an affordable home from this, but even that seems questionable.
