Another year, more California 'exes' are living in Texas

Housing is far from pure capitalism in most places (especially California). So many rules and regulations and hoops you have to jump through to get approval to build etc. that that process alone makes building "affordable" housing almost impossible due to the costs dealing with the aforementioned issues. And then you throw in gov't controls such as rent control which only cause prices to rise and you have the housing (and affordability) crisis we have today.

We need more capitalism in housing allowing supply to keep up with demand, allowing for ADU's and the conversion of garages etc. There are things we can do but NIMBYism is a powerful powerful force (and it's also bi-partisan).

Only if you want more people in California.

Good read from a political perspective. (The U.S. population today is around 330 million. In 2050 the population is projected to be 370 million. So you're suggesting it would be good for those additional 40 million people not to live in California.)

One can ask the question, how much does our political power contribute to our economy? If not much then having less electoral votes and less Congressional seats won't make much of a difference.


There’s no protecting California values without building more housing​

Slow housing production is a threat to the state’s political values and power in the aftermath of the presidential election​

OK I just watched it. I like Galveston because I have a boat there and fish. I love catching bull redfish and red snappers. The water in Galveston is muddied by the outflow from the Sabin River but I rarely get in the water unless the grand kids make me.

Did you happen to see the follow up episode where Beyoncé’s mom called him out? Pretty funny.
