Still mad about the time my income was equal to rent plus like $500 so I didn't qualify for medi-cal. With my health conditions, on the cheapest plan, $1000+ a month. Fucking california, garbage place.
I feel like you are mad at the wrong organisation.
So you're saying that high prices of rent and health insurance are not the responsibility of the regulatory framework that was explicitly designed for profit maximization?
I don't know of a state that really regulates rent and health insurance. You'd see similar expenses in basically all expensive regions of the US.
What are building height limits if not a device to artificially reduce housing supply?
And yes it is the same everywhere in the US, that's why I left the US
Good thing California is one of the few states trying to fix zoning.
Lmao zoning in California has only gotten worse over the past 10 years. 90% of houses in the SF bay area are on lots so small it'd be illegal to build them these days.
Yeah, it wasn't enough to have building height limits, now they have lot size minimums for single family homes. Because god forbid someone live in an apartment in a walkable neighborhood
