Problem is, you just described over 70% of the population. Which the long con Marxists figured out a few decades ago and that is how we got into this mess in the first place.

>>poor urban planning.

You didn't understand my post. Property owners WANT high housing costs. High housing costs is a feature, not a problem. Laws which raise housing costs are good laws from the perspective of property owners.

And yes, as Sp5 notes, high cost areas are desirable to live in, which is why wealthy Republicans conservative property owners allow high income and sales taxes, because those taxes can be used for public amenities that raise property values, which is what really matters to property owners. Property owners are hurt themselves by these taxes, but only to a limited extent. The brunt of those income and sales taxes falls on highly paid young workers (engineers, businessmen) who are very intelligent in some ways but too stupid to see past the indoctrination that all taxes are bad.

Sky-high land taxes are good from the perspective of the productive members of society. It's only the existing landowners who benefit from low land taxes. Low income taxes means more income: good for society. Low sales taxes means more commerce: good. Low property taxes on improvements to land (buildings, standing timber, etc) means more such improvements: good. But low taxes on land itself or telecom spectrum or similar does NOT mean more land or telecom spectrum, etc, because those things cannot be created. It just means a perpetual transfer from producers to existing land owners, plus an incentive for the land owners to further gum things up with building restrictions, what you laughably called "poor" urban planning. Maybe because such planning makes you poor, it makes other people, who understand money better than you, very rich.

Nowhere is the land situation worse than Britain, of course. The whole reason they still have a monarchy and house of lords is to keep the common people distracted from noticing the destructive effect of high land costs, due to low land taxes.

Pensions have similar effects to high land costs. Pensioners, who receive an income without working, benefit from immigration to keep the system gong and pay their pensions. This is the ultimate reason behind the immigration into Europe, not some "liberal" conspiracy. Those "liberals" you see on television, etc are just useful idiots. True power resides in the hands of the older property owners and pension recipients. The elderly are unable to verbalize the thought process, but at a deep subconscious level they know that giving the country away to foreigners is the only way to keep their pension and high property prices.

NEVER EVER underestimate people who get or can get money without working. Those people may look and sound stupid, but they have a far better intuitive understanding of how to keep receiving their unearned income than you will ever have. This also applies to things like inheritances and divorce settlements. The stupid-looking do-nothing sibling is the one who gets parents to rewrite the will leaving them everything. The stupid-looking wife is the one who walks off with all the alimony, etc.

Many people have analysed the problem perfectly, and far more incisively and articulately than I'd be able to. That said, if I was American this would really irritate me, and in Britain most of the refugee lovers in the celebrity/talking-head world live in the whitest areas in the country. I speak specifically about Gary Lineker, Lilly Allen, and Eddie Izzard. They all live in an area called The Cotswolds... literally the whitest landmass in England. Stick 'em in Tower Hamlets for a year and see what they say privately then.

Before long, the left gained power and went further and further to the left on economic taxation policies. This resulted in California having, to this day, a shitty tax environment that nobody who makes decent money wants to be a part of.

As a result, the liberals who moved en masse to California got tired of the high taxation policies that the politicians they voted into office enacted.

*Illegal immigrants moved en-masse to California and voted for liberals because they were promised free stuff and citizenship.

That's why California has been under leftist control for the past few decades.

I mean, they make a very "Liberal" choice indeed : To live in very Conservative cities, cities with almost no diversity, with nicely submissive women, and truth be told, right-wing security provided by heavy police presence - yet claiming to be Liberal.

Just like people from California who move into Nevada (and other states). Nevada has no state income tax, gun rights, and dirt cheap housing. When Californians move in, a lot of them complain it's not like their home and they vote for the same policies that caused them to leave.

You took the words right out of my mouth Teedub. Not sure if you get Tucker Carlson across the pond, but he covers what you said often and is sure to remind millions of viewers that the elites who push this stuff are living quite safely in their gated and largely homogeneous communities. Definitely check out some of Tucker's clips on YouTube from time to time if you haven't already, he's spot on 99% of the time.

^ We don't have any mainstream news anchors / political show hosts who are even remotely to the cultural right as Carlson I'm afraid. Jordan flipping Peterson is considered "far right" by most of our media. Heck, Carlson would probably be arrested for hate speech. I'm only partially joking.

If a well-integrated mind were requisite for survival, you'd have a lot of cold mo'fos laying around.

People always want somebody to blame for why their life's shit.

Of course, blaming is a waste of energy, since the guy complaining is the one who's suffering, and the only one who is ever going to take responsibility for doing something about it.

Plus, The Lord wanted life to be kind of shitty. Something about an apple that our ancestor wasn't s'posed to eat.

Just tune them out and be grateful for their NPC tourist dollars propping up the economy.
