Someone's got to approve all that housing. So again, then what? Are you going to put a gate around the town and say "nobody else in!". Or do you do what China does and control population growth, lol. You gotta do something to scare people off since everyone seems to want to live here. Dodge and deflect, dodge and deflect. What's your solution? Should we put in a million skyscrapers like New York? How are the housing prices and rents over there? Oh, such a simplistic solution that clearly won't solve anything.

That's your definition of "government intervention"? That's generally considered the opposite of that but this seems to be a concept that's above your level of understanding. Then what? Were we supposed to stop building housing or something?


What's your solution bodyforlife? Please indulge us.

More dodging. I'm fine with a 3.2% unemployment rate and more tax revenue. I happen to think that's a good thing. C'mon stop dodging or maybe you should admit, you've got nothing.

I've addressed everything you've thrown at me so not sure what you think I'm dodging. Unlike you who hasn't. So basically you don't have any solution and are content with the status quo?

What more did you want exactly? I addressed everything you asked, unlike your constant dodging. You just seemed really confused at this point and are just rambling.

Great! Always inspiring to hear from rugged individualists that don't need police, fire departments, roads, the American legal and court system, electric utility, water treatment, sewage and trash disposal, federal monetary supply controls, armed defense forces, educational systems to keep the public generally literate, air traffic controls, CDC epidemic management, food safety controls, public lands and recreation management, and similar sorts of meaningless irritations and interferences to daily life!

Yes. They do. As fantasies go, it's a nice concept. Personal responsibility and ethics and applied effort rule the days. Wonderful! Now, when in the past 10,000 years since homo sapiens left the caves have we seen any broad and sustained behavior such as the Libertarian fantasy calls for?

But it'll happen tomorrow.

If we all just get on board.

Vote Gary Johnson.

If he's elected it'll all magically fall in place.

Huzzah.

Funny thing is, I don't recall them ever telling me how to run my life and I certainly try not to rely on them (doesn't sound like you do either). And I certainly don't blame others for my successes and failures. Yep, I do my thing, they do there's (through tax contributions like mine and paying them for services) and everyone gets along just fine. I live by a Democratic process just like everyone else. Funny how that works though. Everyone's all for what the majority votes for except if it's something they don't like (i.e zoning policies, environmental concerns about where to build...all put into play by the very politicians they elected), and then they want things forcibly taken from people or policies mandated for a select few. Sounds like hypocrisy to me.



Rand Paul 2016...oh wait, scratch that
