In one of his first moves after surviving the recall, Gov. Gavin Newsom took his boldest steps yet to fix California’s housing shortage by signing a package of bills that will transform the state by getting rid of single-family zoning and making it easier to build the housing the state so desperately needs. Of the three housing bills Newsom signed Thursday, the most consequential is Senate Bill 9 because it will allow up to four units of housing on a single-family lot. Another, Senate Bill 10, creates a voluntary program that makes it easier for cities to upzone any urban

Welcome to Moscow, SSR. How many family members per unit? 10, 12, 15? Once they’re settled in, they can go wait in line for their vodka ration.

Newsom had "them" come to CA to endorse him. He's basking in the light of his phony "mandate." California is just the BEST place to live right now. Wait till the population finds out about Senate Bill 9 actually means for them in their nice farms, little small towns, and subdivisions. A private party might actually buy your land but, more likely, the government will declare Eminent Domain and take that nice farm by declaring a "greater good." They will pay you a pittance and then give a contract to a friend who will build multifamily high rises that are supposed to be low income but, it it serves them better, they will go for millions and the poor will still be homeless, the neighborhood will be ruined and everybody at the top makes a lot of money. Can you tell I've been through this? In our case our area really needed a new high school. Forty years later...still no high school, but a mediocre subdivision of multi million dollar homes.

The means to destroy the suburbs. Buried in the infrastructure bill ....if your town takes federal funds your town gives up the right to control it's zoning laws, it is ceded to the federal government.

Brilliant move to help his wealthy pinko supporters: limit the supply of single family units thereby increasing the value of those remaining, most of which are owned by those same pinkos. And they moan about the rich getting richer.

Gotta build those ghettos for all those homeless voters. Nearly two-thirds of the voters said 'no', and this is what they get. Don't want your rights and freedoms? Don't want your wealth? Don't want your safety? Newsom will happily take them. The people that voted for this are dishonest fools. They know better.

California. A paradise in the thirties, forties and fifties. Get out now if you can. The state will denigrate into a place for the extremely wealthy and peons working for their billionaire masters. There will be no middle class and these fools talk about ”equity”. California is heading for a real financial reckoning but we few remaining taxpayers will have to bail them out.

As Washington turns its attention to a massive $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, every household across America should be on high alert because some Democrats want to take away the right to work. Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is championing a bill to radically overhaul America’s unemployment system. The legislation would model our federal system on a California law that is so unpopular and so poorly written that emergency action was required to avoid severely disrupting the state’s economy. (Snip) Today, millions of American workers operate as independent contractors instead of employees. This allows them to operate their own small

The Senate parliamentarian determined that lawmakers cannot include a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens in a budget reconciliation package, but Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is pushing the Senate and the Biden administration to do it anyway. Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough determined Sunday night that the provision fell outside the scope of what is allowed in a reconciliation bill – which cannot be filibustered, thus requiring the support of only a simple majority in the Senate. "This ruling by the parliamentarian, is only a recommendation. @SenSchumer and the @WhiteHouse can and should ignore it," Omar said. "We can’t miss this

WASHINGTON – Progressive lawmakers will introduce legislation this week that will give the Department of Health and Human Services the authority to create federal eviction moratoriums – pushing back against a recent decision by the Supreme Court that ruled the agency did not have the authority to do so. The introduction of the legislation, sponsored by Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., comes weeks after the high court blocked the Biden administration's eviction moratorium, ruling the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not have authority to impose the freeze. The CDC is one of the arms of HHS.

Former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke, a Democrat, is reportedly preparing a bid to challenge Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in the Texas gubernatorial race next November. O’Rourke is expected to formally announce his 2022 gubernatorial bid in Texas later this year, Axios reported Sunday, citing Texas political operatives. O’Rourke, a former three-term congressman from El Paso, lost his U.S. Senate bid against Sen.

One of today’s most important, and weirdly under-reported, news stories is the economic crisis that threatens Great Britain and, more broadly, Europe. Its most striking current manifestation is a food shortage in the U.K. Acute food shortages were feared last night after high gas prices forced most of Britain’s commercial production of carbon dioxide to shut down. Emergency talks were being held between government officials and food producers, retailers and the energy industry…. The closure of two fertiliser plants in northern England and others in Europe has left the food and drink industry facing a shortage of carbon dioxide, which

Top White House aides set up a "wall" to shield President Biden from unscripted events and long interviews amid fears of the president’s testiness and habit of mangling statements, according to a new book. "Peril" by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa cited a number of incidents from the gaffe-prone president in the early days of his administration, including a back-and-forth with a CNN reporter for which he later apologized. "That side of Biden -- his tendency to at times be testy or mangle statements -- was still with him and now part of his presidency," the book says. In turn

The “Justice for J6” rally was supposed to be ‘insurrection part II: endgame.’ The barricades were set up again around the US Capitol.

There were more media members than actual protesters. The threat was exaggerated. The liberal media may not know this yet, but even prior to January 6—the far right in America is…not big.
