So, this is the "If you build it, they will come" argument again.
No. Like most liberals you're always trying to read what isn't there. There is no argument. Just a very factual statement. The Democrats have built a lousy, expensive, public school system that excels in waste. It is also the most expensive in the entire world. And what do we get from it? The "students" who manage to graduate from it come out ranking "at the bottom". You see, they already built it. And after they came, they left at the bottom.
Meanwhile I invest the $300,000 and make $15,000 a year. Minus your interest payment and factoring in the rebate, I am $7,000 in the black.
The only problem is most of them invested the borrowed money in overpriced housing. So their $300,000.00 "investment" on a home quickly evaporated to $150,000.00.... Which they promptly walked away from because they couldn't sell it for what they owed. That isn't an analogy. It's a fact. But not to worry.... I'm sure they were able to "write it off".
Besides SF being a liberal city, it has gone through tremendous growth. In larger cities you have more people, and simply put they are surrounded by free resources. Free resources, a growing population, more homeless and the vicious cycle continues.The weather is also a factor.. Think of them as pigeons...The higher the population, and activity especially in urban areas the more pigeons.
There will always be homeless people in big cities like NY, BOS, LA, SF, SD, AZ, and you will never get rid of them. Unless it interferes with our daily lives it's not an epidemic

What you posted is irrelevant, it lists USA as a whole. If you are going to talk about the Democrats, then you need to contrast the Blue and Red states. Fact: Red states consistently rank at the bottom in terms of education and quality of life:

That depends on when they bought the houses.
Anyone who bought a house after Obama became president is raking it in right now. While the conservatives were talking about Obama melting down the economy and a Japanese stagflation, smart liberals invested their money and made out like bandits. The lesson here: never listen to conservatives for investment advice.

Smart is useless when you are poor and have no money to invest.
Actually it's an analogy. Nothing factual about a hypothetical.

The housing bubble was no "hypothetical". Just ask the people today who are apartment dwellers because of it. You need to look at how many foreclosures took place in this country in 2008-2010. After Obama was President. Trust me, it's no analogy. All of it took place because people over borrowed, and couldn't sell for what they owed. That is a fact, not a play on words.
