justice moves slowly

And if your rich, like these rapists, it moves like a sloth on codeine.

They can do limited equity programs to mitigate this and other speculation. Ie. When you buy the house you agree to sell it at the inflation adjusted price you bought it at, maybe with a percent or two of appreciation as well.

San francisco has around 50,000 vacant residencies and around 8,000 unhoused people. There is supply in these "desirable" locations, it's just that under the logic of capitalism this supply isn't made available to those who need it.

To all the people in here saying "I could warn them and help them prepare to take on the conquistadores" while the sentiment is good, the conquistadores weren't the ones that wiped them out, it was smallpox and other diseases. So unless you can synthesize a vaccine, or just expose them to it then so they can recover population in a couple centuries, they're doomed no matter what.

A heads up is not gonna save them from their real killers, smallpox, unless you brought it with you and give them a couple centuries to recover population and gain immunity.

That'd be great if freedom of movement wasn't one of the first rights they take away to prevent something like this.

This wispy-bearded Texan is in the vanguard of a movement urging conservatives to relocate to Russia. Last August, Putin introduced fast-track shared values visa for those fleeing Western liberalism.

Oh no ... don't do that. Us lefties would hate if all our manly men left us to deal with these Haitians eating our dogs alone. That would trigger and own us so much.

Why do you say it's mismanagement?

My understanding is that ridership still hasn't returned to pre-pandemic levels and the state and federal funding that was keeping it afloat has dried up.

Unifying the system might actually hurt it more then help. MUNI the bus and light rail system within the city is relatively cheap, $2.75 fare to ride any where. That's because it's funded mostly by the city because people in the city use and value it more. BART, the metro that's posted in the picture is funded by all the suburban and urban municipalities that it serves in the metro area, and since the suburban cities don't use/ value it as much it's hard to get funding for it passed through taxes so they rely more on fares.

If they unified it then the minority of people in the city wouldn't be able to pass taxes to improve, or at this point maintain, service and we'd get stuck with high fares and low service.

For example in the last election a majority of people voted to tax rideshares to pay for the bus in the city, it didn't pass because another ballot measure that passed had some fine print nullified it, but that kind of measure would never have passed throughout the whole bay area.

Yeah, payed $30 to get from the airport to downtown sf a couple days ago, so probably closer to $50 to get all the way to oakland.

Newsom is term limited, he ain't coming back. That's also the reason he's turning right IMO, gearing up for a presidential run and thinks hariss' biggest mistake wasn't going on right wing podcasts.

The current toll to cross the bay bridge by car from Oakland to sf is $8, and like someone mentioned it's only $4.25 from Oakland to sf without the airport charge, so you are still saving by using bart, just not as much as you probably should.
