Trump Administration Predictions (29 Viewers)

Most of the "YIMBY" stuff has occurred in the suburbs, with the Democrats embracing the need to build multi-unit housing and the Republicans being opposed.
 
The old Republican Party was pro-development and anti-crime. The Republican Party seems to have reversed on both issues.

I believe Mr. Trump's use of the National Guard, while perhaps somewhat questionable in the legal sense, is a clear indicator that he is still anti-crime. The use of tariffs to attempt to stimulate local development of industry seems to disagree with the other part of your comment.

Really?!?! The top politicians may be passing such legislation. As with most legislation sounds great a first blush. But are there any actual construction projects in high end neighborhoods? By that I mean, the actual construction of multifamily units inside exclusive (Democratic) neighborhoods as opposed to the usual practice of meeting affordable housing requirements by either building multifamily units in less desirable areas and/or paying into a fund of some-type that would eventually (in the far future) go towards affordable housing. To succinctly restate; have elite Democrats embraced having multifamily structures built immediately adjacent to their homes?

I suspect that elite Democrats will take the NIMBY approach to avoid the construction of multi-unit affordable housing in their neighborhoods. The legislation they pass to promote affordable and/or multi-unit housing will amazingly not apply to them.

The deployment of the National Guard is useless from a crime-fighting point of view. They can neither arrest nor investigate crimes and were deployed at national monuments where there was little crime.

Tariffs are anti-business measure, disrupting supply chains and increasing costs.

You are confusing affordable housing requirements with zoning law changes allowing multi-unit housing. Where I live multi-unit housing is usually built near train stations with high end housing close by, although not generally on the same block. So yes, elite Democrats have embraced multi-unit housing in their neighborhoods.

Why not let housing types be determined by supply and demand rather than government fiat.
 
Aljazeera is my go to source for actual news :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
The ironic part is there allegedly was no list until the victims got pissed off and decided they'll release one.
And I thought during Maxwell's trial that her lawyers fought to keep said "list" out of evidence.
 
The Aljazeera article has nothing to do with my original question > "why didn't the democrats release the Jeffery Epstein material when they had full control of the DOJ?"
Why does that matter? The old Trump defense of diverting attention to Dems is really the worst kind of lie. That's actually equivalent to bearing false witness. Each of us stands up for our own moral code. Something bible thumping right wingers should have been taught back in Sunday School.

That's funny, crime was down is DC before the Nazi wannabe got into office. This is exactly the path Hitler took to taking complete control of Germany. In every way Trump is following the Nazi Manifesto.

Wake Up.
 
Quick question, why didn't the democrats release the Jeffery Epstein material when they had full control of the DOJ?

Uh.... child rapist, sexually trafficking minors, half a dozen other crimes.

About half of the homeless are employed. Let's try changing the laws which prohibit low cost housing in many areas.

My local Republican Party is proud of blocking the building of multi-unit housing. I guess that people living in their cars is OK with them.
Not where I live. And actually let's not, let's keep the low cost housing in its own area instead of making the problems that come with it infect everyone else

It's not complicated. People with a drug addiction need treatment, not a free house that they can't keep.
 
In New Orleans, we had block housing, essentially low-cost subsidized apartments. The "projects" became :poop: holes because the tenants didn't have enough "skin in the game" to keep up the place where they lived. They became eyesores, blighted and crime-ridden danger zones. Adding an automatic "kick the criminals out" clause just left us with homeless criminals who were that much more desperate and uncaring.

The lesson is simple. If something is of limited cost to obtain, it is of limited value to its owner regarding the need/desire for upkeep. Multi-unit housing is useless if there is no impetus to maintain it. The tenants treat it like trash and it becomes a place where nobody wants to live - but they have such limited resources and abilities that they can't afford to live elsewhere. It is the down side of a continuing government handout.

An expansion of an old adage: Feed a man a fish, you feed him for a day. But expect him to come back tomorrow with an empty fish basket. Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. But expect him to resist your request for a fish for the guy you didn't teach.

LOL. What you want it for is a diversion. "Look Mommy the other kids are doing it". Get over defending Trump with finger pointing at others, it's weak and deceptive. We have hole diggers in our company that hold themselves to a higher standard then your false messiah Trump.
What is wrong with you people?
He's the President of the United States, for God's sake, he is using his power to damage our country, and you keep bringing up Democrat Congressmen.
Shake off the brainwashing man. Life's too short.

The reason why the Democrats or Republicans haven't acted on the Epstein evidence is because both sides are implicated.

I said this before it's a honeypot operation instigated by a country with close ties to Epstein and Maxwell. It's not that hard to understand.

Their presence is a deterrent in and of itself. Plus they relieve the police of doing other things.

I love it when the progressives come out in favor of crime;)
