    Source: Oakland’s Homeless Americans Die Uncounted As Mayor Protects Illegal Immigrants I found that article on an aggreagtor, and replied to it, rather than the original.  So I posted the response here, figuring it wouldn’t get approved. I then found the original, and looked at the comment section. Zerohedge commenters are a bunch of libertarians…

    This feels like a good snapshot of why so many organizations are uniting against SB 827, the upzoning law that gives away a lot of value to landowners and developers, without capturing that value, and without protecting tenants. via The Most Dangerous Myth I’m also looking into the history of property ownership by people of…
