There is a devastating flaw in that proposal: it fails to funnel money into the pockets of the well connected.

It's a good thing that Los Angeles doesn't have a readily available source of black market labor.

I know that the San Francisco supervisors are batshit insane. But their idea that a housing moratorium is the way to address an increase in housing costs is truly a mind boggling new low.

Of course, this is unlawful, but that doesn't really seem to stop the government these days.

Since we don't follow the Constitution 95% of the time anyway, who cares about another violation?

It's the same foolishness as supporting mandatory water rationing instead of raising the price for water during a drought.

An excellent proposal. The first thing to do is stop allocating water through the political process, and start using the price system.

This article reads like a proposal for journeying to the moon that was designed without knowledge of the theory of gravitation.

For example, the author does not appear to realize that the reason most people work is to exchange their time and efforts for something they value more, which is usually money but could be experience or other things, in any combination.

We can hope that 2/3 of Californians realize that mandatory rationing is a bad idea. A far better idea is to use the price system, as we do for almost all other commodities.

Don't be ridiculous. This is America, the land of the free, by which we mean the land where practically everyone wants to stick their nose in your business and try to change the way you live your life.

There are a few people who advocate generally leaving others alone to do what they want, but they are universally derided as being on the lunatic fringe.

Alternately, it's clear that the so-called investment badly missed the mark.

If it makes it clearer, please insert a "sufficiently" before the low in that sentence.

The minimum wage is a cruel policy that makes it unprofitable to employ low skilled workers. It's great for Silicon Valley robotics engineers, and terrible for disadvantaged urban teenagers.

So, great job San Francisco voters; your ignorance of economics is exacerbating the inequality you complain about.

The holier than thou coffee aficionados on this site are hilarious. I wish I was in the K-cup coffee business and they were my non-K-cup competitors, since they do not seem to understand why so many people like K-cups.

It's so inferior and awful that it represents a quarter of the market in the U.S. and growing. The convenience and pretty good taste for non coffee snobs makes for a successful product.

It really is astonishing how lacking the Parental Controls are on iOS.

That's a fantastic idea, but it's far too practical and sensible for California. It doesn't include any feel-good meddling or opportunities for kickbacks for the powerful and connected.

It's a federal crime to use a web service against its TOS.

I care less about what font is used and more about not having the text displayed at seemingly random sizes from one page to another, or even on the same page. Insanity!

They are also very self-congratulatory.

It was unviewable due to the slowness. Just linking to the PDF on a static webserver somewhere would have been far superior.

Fixed bars are annoying and should rarely be used. But what's even worse is when the mobile version helpfully removes the content or feature that you'd like to see.

Please just have one site, make it efficient, and be done with it.

I'm creating 2 ^ N fake accounts in order to ensure that I have at least one account with N perfect recommendations. Then pump and dump, baby.

Almost everyone intuitively knows that red = deletion and green = insertion. Nobody knows what yellow and blue refers to. So how is that more usable?

Pegman sealed the deal.

Because money flows from dealerships to politicians, that's why.

New to FB platform work, eh?

How is it not?

Why would you give them the benefit of the doubt? If anything, the base assumption should be the reverse.
