Thanks for a clear reading of the OP link. I don't know if it will work or not, but I support their right to choose.
IMO, California is more fucked up than a screen door on a submarine, but I support their right to pass their own local laws. The fact the Alt-Right is against State's Rights and supports Federal authoritarianism disturbs me because that means neither of the two major US political parties support the 10th Amendment...more than lip-service.

One reason we build in natural wildfire areas is because of how hard it is to build in the more urban areas. Instead of building up in urban areas around public transportation we force people to build further and further out. This legislation specifically addresses that by allowing more density around public transportation in urban areas.
This is an argument to moderation fallacy. Okay, you can still own a car. Where do you keep it when not using it? The rest of this is just reductio ad absurdum arguments. Something like 99% of Americans don't live in San Francisco. So, what works for San Fran isn't a model that should be forced on everyone else.
Having a car in most parts of the US is a necessity, not an option. Same goes for California.
Under this law any construction within just shy of 1000 yards of a bus stop is not going to be able to have parking. The average single family home lot in the US is 100' on a side, give or take. That puts several blocks of such homes within that distance. In urban areas--like San Fran-- it pretty much eliminates all new parking from any new construction.

For starters this is a state law, not national. I’m not sure if you’re purposefully misrepresenting it or still don’t understand it. It doesn’t ban parking. It bans parking mandates, which were excessive and prevented development. BART stops in the Bay Area, or trains in LA, aren’t next to single family homes. This legislation has no effect on single family homes
Sorry man, it is 100% the opposite. In your defense you don’t live in California so it’s understandable you don’t understand the dynamics at play here. Much needed new development wasn’t getting built because of ownerous parking ratios. Now developers can put in what the market desires. Again, the free market at play (if that’s what you support)

Well, when the nuclear cloud floats our way across the ocean you might feel differently. I kind of feel like we should protect our allies there.
By the way, even though you're a MAGA, twumptard and we'll never agree, I do appreciate you're taking the time to debate. Insults don't bother me. People refusing to back up what they say do, and you're not one of those, usually.

There will come a day where Donald Trump is gone, but the dishonor of those who carried his water will remain.
