California bans building parking lots near transit stops

That's kind of a separate discussion but maybe you (and others) can start a movement in the U.S., and worldwide, to get (progressive) men to tie their tubes and no longer reproduce? (Might not be good for Democrats long term but if we're talking about saving the planet...)

Or get the U.N. to pass global legislation of some sort piggybacking off the China one child rule globally?

The China policy was one that the entire world SHOULD have adopted. It would have been a start, at least.
Instead, China discontinued the policy.
 
Trust me if you can't do that math in a 15 sec commercial break you need to stay in California. The increasing prices of construction materials (Biden flation) the increasing labor cost (paying people to stay home = bad) and the increase in people moving from California and New York and other states moving into Texas have all helped to increase the cost of homes.(Seller's market) Do you deny that Californians are leaving California to lower their tax burdens?

BTW: The comparison on California housing costs and Texas housing costs was from Mar 05, 2022

https://homeia.com/city-living-guid...ost of a home,lower than the national average.

Maybe we're having two different conversations. I'm not questioning that homes cost more in California (and you are correct in that all the price inputs make building more expensive in California than elsewhere - but that's a state level thing, not national) but property taxes are lower in California than Texas due to Prop 13.

But all that still avoids the issue that NIMBYism dominates in California and when you don't allow supply to keep up with demand you have the imbalance that California does.
 
please note that when I say develoopment I mean commercial as well as residential. stop incorporating more businesses and that housing deficit will take care of itself.

Cali is FULL. At least the costal metropolises.

In a certain sense we are pushing businesses out of the state with our high taxes, unfavorable business environment etc. etc. but I don't follow the logic that we should not allow new businesses here or encourage new businesses to start here or move here. That's how a state dies.

We are not full. People claimed the state was full when we had 20 to 30 million and now we have 40 million. There is room to grow here. You need smart growth like allowing more density in urban areas such as legislation in the OP is all about.
 
Until you realize that you can't do everything on public transit and need a car. Then it becomes a major problem...

This legislation prevents no one from having a car. If you choose to live in the City without a car you can rent Zip cars or whatever the service is that lets you get cars for the hour or however long you need. You can borrow a friend's car. Lots of people live in SF without cars. But whether people choose to have a car or not isn't really relevant to this legislation.
 
Not from the POV of individual people. If you have no alternative to public transit, you spend much more time travelling to wherever and returning. You are limited in your ability to shop for many things, like groceries. In fact, all around, you are hit if you can't have a vehicle.

The same thing goes for developers. If you are a developer, any site within half a mile of a transit stop suddenly becomes a big negative because you can no longer provide parking. The same goes for businesses. If you are a business and you have no parking available, instead you have to rely solely on persons using public transit, you are likely ass fucked.

And yes, Cali might want developers to build low-income housing and such, but there's really no money in it so they're likely to not bother. You don't build new section 8 housing. You cheaply refurbish rundown and antiquated buildings that nobody really wants any longer.

I don't think you understand how this legislation works (hence your title being incorrect). The legislation says nothing about not being able to build parking. It says cities can't mandate the same amount they previously did for developments next to public transportation. Developers can still build more parking if they want to pay for it. But people who will live in this housing are the type that are less likely to use cars. If you're a family with kids and you want multiple parking spots you'll probably choose to live in one of thousands of other apartment buildings.

If cities do nothing, the next step for the Left is banning it.

You lost. Deal with it.

He either knows that and is just trolling us or he's really insane.
 
The same dumb shit republicans have said for decades while California kicks their ass economically


We are the 5 largest economy in the world

Oh and guess what


If you take just Latino Americans into consideration


Latinos are the 5th largest economy in the world

Latinos are great in the small business area for an economy


Give them a generation or two and they will be sitting as CEOs of large companies


Yet the right hates them

Go figure

He doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, ever.
 
Investing in California was an iffy proposition even before this, now it is flat out dumb.

It's the world's 5th largest economy, home to silicon valley and Hollywood. It's a hotbed of culture and innovation. It's a demonstration of American's success and ingenuity. No wonder you hate it, you fucking Russian troll.

You always look like such an idiot.
