    Ah, yes, illegal immigrants with their high paying jobs buying up all the houses. Even assuming rent goes down when you remove tenants from an area (supply and demand, because how do you convince people to move into the path of the brown shirts) the question is about HOME prices. Rents are impacted by home prices, yes, but after the cost of permitting and materials, it’s ‘cheaper’ to build a second floor and raise the price by $200k than it is to build affordable homes - meanwhile the cost of smaller homes has exploded because venture capital buys them up for rentals.

    If that study had any legs, or you any confidence in it, you would’ve linked it in the first place.

    He was talking about serious things and tan is an unserious color. It’s never okay for a president to act unserious unless he’s a white male Republican, in which case it’s fine.

    Racism is the context, the justification, and the motive. It’s not really much more than that.

    I got a buddy who texts me “Give me a call when you get a chance”

    Always allows me to finish up my work and call them when the time suits me.

    Meanwhile, coworkers just call me a minute before I’m supposed to go into a meeting and expect to have my attention for a half hour. It’s on the calendar you dipshit.
