SF got what they voted for - a progressive utopia. At some point, there have to be repercussions for crime.

Just discovered the site - love it! Big step towards transparency which companies do not want us to have.

Sorry I don't want my friend's taxes, who has a small business doing blue collar work and didn't go to college, to fund (useless) degrees in majors with little to no job prospects.

I disagree - most Republicans I know agree climate change is occurring. The issue is the other party vilifying/putting at risk thousands of jobs currently in the legacy fossil fuel industries, not to mention essentially raising prices

The distrust is so high because people realize CNN, MSNBC and Fox do opinion based journalism, not actual objective reporting as there is no money in the latter. See this article about the concerted effort between the democrats and the medi

Feel truly bad for Hong Kong here. Sadly nothing will be done here by the west. Let's not forget a "social justice" warrior LeBron James criticized an NBA owner for tweeting "Stand with Hong Kong" not too long ago.

For many, the Democratic party left me and swung to the left. I'm all for policies which are low taxes & limited government (remember under Trump & before corona, we had record unemployment even among minorities). Hence my move

Solid majority? Senate is 50/50 (not a "majority", only Harris casts the tie breaking vote), and Democrats in the House outnumber Republicans by the slimmest margin in decades. This is hardly a majority. Biden won only 51.3 p

Can you provide stats to back this up? Many come here as refugees or cross the border illegally from very poor countries.

Europe lacks the US bankruptcy laws which encourage risk-taking that is needed in this space

While the woke ones were "triggered" (as they are by most things these days), I'm sure a good portion of employees are relieved to just have a normal workplace again.

Treating it like an investment IS the prudent thing to do. Is vs. what you want it to be theoretically are 2 different things.

People vote for the co-op board members. Why not vote the people out?

Exactly - I have 0 issues with mine either. I'd love to build a big garage in the yard, but I realize I can't for the better of the neighborhood aesthetics, and I'm fine with it.

Please elaborate on how they keep "undesirable" people out - a statement like this has no meaning without any evidence. The HOA is not involved in the purchase of a house in any way.

Exactly - IDs are required for pretty much everything else we do. Voting should be no different.

Remember - people were called fascists + racists for mentioning or discussing the lab leak theory.

It's always just that simple. Say goodbye to 90% of restaurants and most small businesses - problem solved! Why should I pay you $25 an hour when I can get 4 people working for the same money in Mexico or China. What skills do you have
