Vasudus posted:I've accepted the fact that for the most part, Kennedy was never really a split judge. Yes, he split in a few significant cases, but the court will be just as split as it is now when the next shithead gets nominated. Except now you get someone who won't split in those cases, and locks that down for the next 30+ years. It's missing the point the just like the narrative that Scalia's replacement needed to be more moderate because he was replacing a conservative judge. There is not a default structure to the Court and now instead of even hoping to move in a progressive direction these pompous fucks are going to undermine poor people and minorities for decades to come.

KirbyKhan posted:Rent Control in Los Angeles (called Rent Stabilization Ordinance) is an example of rent control that helps nobody. Only properties built before 1978 are under this ordinance. 118,000 properties with about 300,000 to 600,000 residents are under it. All of them are old (by virtue of having rented the property in 1978). Thats the closest someone has come to incentivising the destruction of 70's trash. There isn't another way to do that without going building by building and declaring what is/isn't a POS thats now under rent control to make it nearly worthless compared to the location its built on. That would take effort and likely be defeated in court though, so youre stuck with just blanket controls on old buildings.

45 ACP CURES NAZIS posted:what in the gently caress is the solution if not apartments? The problem here in Charlotte is that we have dropped billions on light rail corridors, but all of the high-density housing going up along them is "luxury" because there's not enough room to build surface parking which means parking decks. Developers can't get financing if they don't include at least one space per bedroom. The other option for high-density housing is in the exurbs where there's little-to-no public transit at all. Oh, you wanted an affordable apartment with access to transit? lol you get some run down poo poo built in the seventies or eighties, assuming it hasn't been bought out and knocked down for "redevelopment"

So Two Scoops rhetoric is pretty obviously leaning towards "and we need to start arresting my opponents for national security reasons." Bets on whether he's coherent enough to make it a "joke" the first few times or if he's sundowning and just starts yelling it to whip his MAGA chud base into a frenzy?

This is part of the reason I wanted Biden to run in 2016, he'd eventually drop the decorum act and just straight up clown on Trump. I mean remember the Ryan debate? That but better.
