It is almost comical how you want to blame those evil 'conservatives' for this - I guess that makes it easy for democrats to have excuses about why they haven't solved the problem in places where they 100% control the statehouse and legislature and the purse strings.

If liberals/democrats were truly in favor of public housing, then places like California would have a surplus of housing options available for everyone - or are you somehow suggesting that even though conservatives that cannot even come close to winning an election in CA, that they still somehow control all the levers of public policy?

I thought I made it clear that Democrats were just as much a part of the problem as Republicans.

It's sad that American minds are so addled by their sports-team ("If you're not conservative you must be democrat!") politics that they literally can't see perceive the outside of it.

You think that Democrats don't need a powerful media propaganda machine on their side? That they don't need campaign financing? That the billionaires who own them don't own property?
