      Boomer nimby’s ruined it long before that. It’s a beautiful city and I love to visit but their housing policy makes it unlivable for everyone but multimillionaires.

    “Socialism” is no longer a scary word. That is something that I am going to celebrate.

    Make no mistake, the ultra wealthy are determined to make it scary again. It’s just extremely difficult with the amount of knowledge people have access to.

      Worth mentioning that we also have a democratic socialist mayor here in Seattle–she’s just not a member of the organization.

      She is a politician. We should concentrate on her competency and whether she shares values with voters that voted for her, not how she looks.

      Side note, LA mayor doesn’t have as much power as NY mayor does and who we chose for the city council matters a lot, maybe even more, but that seems to receive less attention.

        I don’t know, superficial positive comments about a politician’s appearance aren’t my favorite but also don’t make my bottom 50 list either. Plenty people commenting on Jon Ossoff being sexy don’t get downvoted

        It legitimately blows my mind when people talk about the looks of politicians (both good and bad) before their actual polices and then to go onto a commit section to let everyone know how they feel LOL

        Anyways something crazy about LA is LA county has a CEO that as far as I understand has alot more power so I doubt she will be able to do as much as NYC unless the county CEO has the same agendas.
