Yeah, that will happen when we have world peace, and Half-Life 3 comes out...

“is take is that guys feel like in the current dynamic, women hold all the cards- she doesn’t need marriage, she doesn’t need your financial support, she doesn’t really even need you if she wants a kid, she’s all around awesome and will always have options to “trade up”- so he feels under pressure to lock in the good…

Oakland isn’t exactly cheap anymore, and 15 minutes is an unrealistically optimistic commute time.

Not really. Keep in mind, you do make more money here; it doesn’t make up for it, but it’s definitely a factor. The median income in my zip code in SF is $143,000/year.

“I live in a large (1 million +) midwestern city”

Kush did 9/11

SOON

I didn’t say voting doesn’t matter, rather that it matters far more in only a handful of districts and states. A candidate could win the presidential election with only 21.8% of the popular vote. In fact the winner of the popular vote has lost the election 4 times in US History.

I live in San Francisco, my vote means nothing.

That image makes her look like, 19. I can never tell how old kids are these days...

He’s just an asshole, and not at all alone in this shitty world.

“reverse racism”

It’s a reasonable fear. Society doesn’t reward unmanly men.

More like a large scale insurrection. Both are equally unlikely.

Were it so simple. The democrats (who aren’t immune to corporate lobbing) usually get more aggregate votes, yet still lose seats.

It’s a shame things won’t get bad enough for people to actually take what’s theirs until it’s probably too late. If the depression couldn’t force socialism, I don’t know what will. Millions starving? Mass migration from equatorial regions due to climate change? By then, the rich will probably just lazer us from their…

San Francisco has more rent controlled units than Manhattan.

Some friendly chit chat might help dumbasses who are scared of black people, but it’s not going to solve shit in terms of housing and displacement. You also can’t build policy around ideas like “just be more friendly.”

It was hyperbole. Also the idea of “getting rid of poverty” is about as pie-in-the-sky as they come. Industrial capitalism necessitates poverty. As long as rent seekers are allowed to own land, displacement will happen during boom cycles.

I was being facetious to highlight the absurdity of the idea that we can mitigate white demand for urban living, as opposed to accommodating new arrivals by adding housing. There is a sentiment common here in San Francisco that the city is “full.” Increasing crime is sort of a “modest proposal” to deter white people…
