I mean, you can misconstrue an obvious rhetorical device if you like. I'm clearly talking about this:

Zander Dejah, 25, pays $1,900 a month rent to live in a downtown San Francisco house with at least 40 other people, many of whom sleep in bunk beds.

... [his real estate] company runs nine communal properties, three of which are in San Francisco. The others are in Austin, Texas, and Oakland, California.

Yes. If someone chooses to live in a city with a massive housing shortage, then they will have to deal with sky-high prices and cramped living quarters. It's not rocket science.

They need to either reduce the number of people looking for housing, or increase the amount of available housing. It's a balanced equation with each side connected by "pricing."

I mean. If it were me I'd just go somewhere I could make a living and put a roof over my head. Even if that meant bum “F” les West Virginia.

I didn't join the Church until 1971. I went to the Ward on Pacific Ave.

That is the the same ward I showed the video of which is now fenced in with graffiti on it. That is the chapel I grew up in...maybe I know you? We moved in I believe 72 if I remember correctly. Was Thomas Slade your bishop...if I remember correctly he was still bishop of the first ward in 71?

Did you go to PHS, SBHS, or maybe San G?

Who gave you your BP, it may have been my GF?

I joined the Air force a few days after baptism so really don't remember my Bishops name. I went to San G.

Hey, so a positive spin on unmitigated and unenforced immigration is futbol! I went to the Manchester United - RSL friendly and half the stadium was easily full of Latino fans. In fact, it was a Leftist utopia last night in that Black, White, Asian, Latino, Women, Gays, and everything in between was there intermingling and having a great time. Without massive Mexican and Latino immigration I never would've seen the Red Devils live and in person.

So. There are some upsides to our immigration issues and progressive social policies. ;)

I agree...I played in a recreational Mexican league for years, even when "soccer" was not cool ( the 80's and 90's. They called me Wedo grande. I'm about 6'-1" and played at around 230 lbs, and most being so little just bounced off me. I played center forward, and I really had zero skills compared to most of these guys but I was faster, taller, and stronger so it evened out.

Have a lot of funny stories I could share...

That's awesome. When I lived in NC I played in a Mexican league, too. I became friends with the family that was watching my kids and he'd have me over all the time to watch Mexican futbol. I became a Cruz Azul fan. Miss that guy...
