There is some truth to all of that.

> Environment...

The air in Los Angeles is a LOT cleaner than it used to be. Yeah they're a little overboard, but which would you rather have? Dirty air, more cancer, more emphysema etc etc etc?

> unaffordable housing

On the other hand our homes are safer because of regulations. I'm a former contractor so I know a lot more about this problem than you do. Much of this of course is due to huge amounts of money the tech industry has made. Leftists and rightists... all white collar people.

Part of that is competition for resources.

Basically regulations, and particularly zoning are made by white collar America. Rightist think its OK to put toxic waste dumps in OTHER people's neighborhoods.

Most kids in America think people who build homes are "losers" left and right.

> NIMBYISM - very true white collar America left and right is SELFISH

> attracting the homeless to California

That's nonsense. You might contend weather attracts some. What do you think, when they lose their homes or apartments they charter jets to California?

> 1/3 of the nation's homeless

Housing costs

> liberals never owning up to the problem

I'd say conservatives are just as bad. Drug laws are making criminals mountains of money. After 100 years of failed drug wars we are, predictably as the sun rising in the east, worse off.

We are the handgun murder capital of the world... mostly due to the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow lingering on in ghettos. But America is ALL ABOUT VIOLENCE to solve problems. There are so many examples of that I'm not going to list them. TV... Proud Boys... Wars...
