"As in previous polling, the law [to dramatically increase the housing supply] is more popular with Democrats than with Republicans, with 76 and 55 percent support respectively."

Yeah, thats why we're seeing oodles of houses now that the Democrats practically control all of california. Are you trying to argue that the current one party rule is a good thing?

I didn't say that. But the fewer Republicans there are in Sacramento, the better the chances of SB-50 (or something like it) getting passed.

Ummmm...you do realize the Dems hold supermajorities in both houses right? Do republicans have psychic powers they're using to control the Dems now?

A single state senator (one of the few Democrats who opposes SB-50) blocked the bill from being voted on.

The supermajority was irrelevant.

So you blame republicans and want even more Democratic control of the Legislature than they already have.

When did I blame Republicans?

You having problems reading your past posts? You just basically said evil Republicans are blocking common sense housing solutions and indicated the solution is an even greater proportion of Democrats but then said that a Democrat blocked it and their numbers don't matter.

Could you quote the part where I said Republicans were blocking things?

"The fewer Republicans" et al
