[Low cost vs affordable housing is available in the re-introduction of ‘carriage houses’.  The folks in Noblesville, Indiana are discovering that “these units cost considerably less than single-family dwellings and create accessible points into and out of homeownership while preserving neighborhood character. They also have the potential to provide rental income to help property owners afford their mortgages.  Few cities and towns are immune from rising material costs and expensive land. But we control zoning and permitting. We should expand housing options without compromising community character.” gjr]

    Seriously, I’d like one of our local Democrats to explain to me why they don’t just roll in and stick all these people in jail?
    What is wrong with you folks? What is wrong with Democrat elected officials? I’d really like to know. Bueller??

    Oh well. You certainly can’t fault Democrats and their illegal alien friends for inaction.

    Well the socialist dem/jihadis are doing our job of convincing the newest citizens to demand changes. Just not the changes they thought they would see. LOL
    It appears that the group of American voters who have shifted in large numbers from Democrats to Republicans in recent years on the combustible issue of immigration are actually the nation’s immigrants themselves.
    A look at pre- and post-election surveys from the 2020 and 2024 cycles indicates a 49-point swing by voters born outside the United States – the vast majority of whom are considered immigrants – on which major political party would do a better job handling the issue of immigration.
    American National Election Studies (ANES) data from the 2020 presidential election indicates voters born in another country said they favored Democrats rather than Republicans on the issue of immigration by a 58%-24% margin.
    Four years later, the data indicated 45% of voters born in another county who cast a ballot in the 2024 presidential election said the GOP would do a better job handling immigration, with 30% pointing to the Democratic Party.
    There was a smaller but still prominent shift from the Democrats to the Republicans by all voters, according to the data from ANES, which is the oldest election study in the world (dating back to 1952) and is often referred to as the gold standard for election surveys.

    “Seattle — For hours, Antifa attacked a federal building in downtown & started fires. Drivers were violently confronted and had their vehicles vandalized. Local media stayed away and will likely ignore that this violence happened.”

    Likelihood that any of these people go to prison for years like the J6 people? Nil.
    We still have a two-tiered system of justice. Trump can just nudge the scales. If it ever changes, I expect that we’ll have to see a whole generation of ‘progressive’ local and state governments age out. The march through the institutions was real.

    “OMAHA, Neb. — Every seat in the waiting area of Glenn Valley Foods was occupied with people filling out job applications early Thursday afternoon, two days after the meatpacking plant became the center of the largest worksite immigration raid in the state of Nebraska so far this year.
    Dozens of prospective employees, many of them Spanish speakers, had been coming in and out of the plant all day. Some were hoping to land a new job; others were coming in for training.”

    from the Washington Post
    “In a survey conducted in August 2020, most Americans said that as soon as health-care workers were inoculated with the coronavirus vaccine, we should have started vaccinating the highest-risk groups in order of their vulnerability: seniors first, then immunocompromised people, then other essential workers. Instead of adopting this sensible plan, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory committee decided to inoculate essential workers ahead of seniors, even though its own modeling suggested this would increase deaths by up to 7 percent.

    Why did they do this? Social justice. The word “equity” came up over and over in the discussion — essential workers, you see, were more likely than seniors to come from “marginalized communities.” Only after a backlash did sanity prevail.”

    Honestly, if ‘progressives’ didn’t exist, you’d have to invent them. Any novel needs a bad guy.
