3 Hello

4 Forced gentrification should be A Thing.

5 Thank you for your attention to this matter.

6 Peace and goodwill to all mank ind.

7 America! Fuck Yeah!

8 we should take the little pockets of desirability and make them hyperdense.

Or as John Lautner said, "murder factories".

9 Housing is a weird issue for the left. They know people in general want prices to go down but the left ideologically wants them to go way, way up and perhaps more importantly their northeastern and left coast AWFLs have a significant portion of their savings wrapped up in housing prices.

So the left will talk about housing as if it is somehow separate from supply and demand.

10 Isn't this why Trump won the first time?

11 One of the bigger obstacles is the "rights" groups that get in the way of things getting cleaned up. Those people should be turned into mulch that feeds the trees we plant in the newly safe neighborhoods.

Or am I being too rude?

12 One example I've mentioned before but always makes me laugh:

The left: Immigration is a human right! We need to bring in more people, many more people!

Also the left: How dare housing prices go up when we bring in a bunch of immigrants...that's racist!

13 Forced gentrification should be A Thing.

19 TL;DR. Cliff's Notes?

Because the inner cities are gonna inner city regardless.

Has nothing to do with "lack of safety". Has everything to do with pride of ownership.

Section 8 is gonna Section 8. Every big blue city proves that.

You will get safety with ownership.
Homeowners aren't going to put up with shit.

20 As Sting noted, you don't have to live like a refugee.

21 A candidate that follows the spirit of the ideas posited here would need to prioritize safety and municipal order above all else.

Wait, I've been told that inner-city voters vastly prefer the candidates that promises to not prosecute the inner-city criminals - no safety, no municipal order. Isn't that how Larry Krasner keeps getting re-elected in Philthadephia?

*fistbump*

23 Donald Trump’s second term has coincided with an increase in use and application of the phrase “you can just do things.

Yesterday, we had an extended discussion about "analysis paralysis". This is one of the reasons why nothing gets done. The other is that the left opposes and blocks every common sense solution to any problem, because someone on the right (being largely people of common sense) came up with a good solution.

24 Or another one I see:

The left: We need more housing and for progressive officials to overrule local officials that won't let them build more housing for our new immigrants!

Also the left: How dare the state take away our natural spaces and historic buildings and replace them with tenements! Don't they know what this is doing to the character of my quaint town (and housing prices?!?)

25 Collectivism is a religion for some, and its’ implications are what we hate.

26 ‘ The ONLY way to solve housing affordability is to reclaim vast swaths of urban areas that have been rendered effectively uninhabitable due to lack of safety’

Are they going to make democrat government go away? Because it won’t work without that.

27 The left's idea of housing is ultra-dense apartments with state managed utilities and public transportation.

Subjugation of the public requires them to be immobile and dependent.

29 If you want dreaded " gentrification" you'll need to shut down X as every single day there are more reports of brutal, senseless attacks by blacks against whites. Not one mention in this posting about that. Or talk the gays into moving into the bombed out areas as they did in Chicago.

Young white males are ready to get fitted with Hugo Boss uniforms and engage in ethnic cleansing. They've been locked out of every other opportunity.

Tom Petty hardest hit.

31 Getting voter turnout in municipal elections above its current anemic levels would yield tremendous ROI - for the cities themselves, and for their own business interests.

Yes, but the people living there believe their votes don't matter and they are right - the local officials just cast enough ballots to keep returning the same people over and over...

37 You mean releasing people with 32 felony arrests is not the norm?
Throwing a couple thousand "career criminals" in the slammer would make any large city safer and more habitable for law-abiding, working, residents. The mayhem is tolerated and encouraged on many levels.

38 Without saying it directly, he's saying that we need a Bukele. Or several Bukele's, one for each large urban center. And the high level support to allow them to do what needs to be done.

And making it illegal to be more than a 15-minutes walk away from your pod.

43 But without massive vote fraud reform--made permanent, robust and aggressive--every city will soon enough slip back into Demo-socalist crime-ridden hellholes.

Like all con-men, they must short-circuit logical thinking with emotion.
And giving them more power to fix the crime--that they allowed and caused--is their easiest, and longest-running, manipulation.

To put it another way, why should we fix their problem before we prevent them from profiting from the problem?

But all of that is irrelevant:
Renters should never have a vote.
Take that away and the cities will fix themselves.

Wow. I've never seen it stated this way, but after commuting into/ of Metro Detroit for a few decades . . . Yeah, this makes so much sense.

46 Cities?
Yuck.

47 I think the big urban areas (NY, Chicago, Philly, Atlanta, LA, etc) is where the vote cheating is concentrated so even if republicans start focusing on this they'll still lose elections in these blue shitholes. It's a problem.... some conservative pol may have a great agenda and message for these big cities but getting elected... nigh near impossible no matter how great your message and candidate

48 Because the inner cities are gonna inner city regardless.

I was in downtown DC two nights ago. I rarely go there anymore, so it's a good way to observe the contrast between what was, and what is.

I just couldn't believe what has happened to the area where our restaurant was. It's breathtaking. It's obvious a ton of money (and definitely NOT taxpayer money) has been invested. The homes are gorgeous. People with that kind of resources aren't going to put up with the crappy governments DC enjoyed in the 20th century.

51 There is a LOT of this city that needs reclaiming. The MId-City neighborhood where I went to junior high, for one, and the area around my high school as well. Great swaths of Uptown and territories bordering it need reclaiming.

In the short term, that kind of prison cost is likely unaffordable for most bankrupt cities...not to mention, the unaffordability and time needed for the US legal system to make that work...

Thus, why deportation has been the 1st answer...

55 The Democrat Elite already know that the easiest solution for getting rid of the "Filthy Poors" is to price them out of existence.

56 So perhaps instead of sending young males to go and secure Kharg Island at the risk of getting blown up, disemboweled, and castrated, we take the MRAPs out of mothballs and send them to restore order in our cities.

This may be true, but there's the issue that the "job centers" are also leaving the urban areas.

MAYBE if people feel safe living there, the jobs will return, but there is a LOT of empty office space in most (all?) urban centers.

90 Is the underclass and slave master relationship on the Left permanent?

That's up to the underclass, who are, after all, not being held against their will. As long as they're willing to take the government cheese instead of acting like they have full agency, the Dems will be happy to keep them on the plantation.

It's a novel concept: the opt-in slave.

91 Cities in the current era are odd.

Most of the jobs left along with the middle class.

So they are the homes of the rich and the poor, full of high end entertainment for the elites and drugs and crime for the poor.

Frankly the easiest way to fix this is probably just make sure the criminal elements can get access to the urban rich. They'll either leave and collapse the system or start demanding real solutions (like NYC in the 90s).

92 Austin is apparently NOT housing-friendly... but the state of Texas keeps finding ways to slap down the local hipsters and AWFLs.

94 "Republicans need to offer our struggling cities an agenda focused on delivering excellent..."

Great idea. And a winning theme.
Except most of the ones who would vote for it have already fled the cities. Not sure what the fix is.

95 I frequently note that every possible fault line in our society has cracked open - but there is none bigger than the urban vs rural/small-town divide.

It appears to transcend everything. Rich or poor, black or white, Christian or atheist, you name it - when it comes to political loyalties, all other factors are subordinate to whether people CHOOSE to live in an urban environment or not. It's a self-selection mechanism.

Not that some people on both sides aren't "trapped behind enemy lines," but in general these political majorities form voluntarily according to the values people have.

And the divide is only growing and growing, as the cities descend into straight-up hellscapes and people flee them accordingly. At this rate, if you still live in one of these cesspools, it's because you must live there, or because you love the cesspool and would never countenance living among your inferiors who don't have to ward off CHUDs on a daily basis, because you hate them.

I would put the odds of a major political shift in a given urban antpile at around 0%. A good-governance platform won't convince people whose attitude is "I wish I could gas you and everyone like you."

Now, there is a discussion for if the Iran war meets the Just War doctrine...but in his homily, the Pope obviously avoided that and just let out his pissed off feelings about the war and went flailing...since I've heard heretical homilies from priests before, hearing one from the Pope (about God not listening to all prayers) is not surprising b/c he's been an emotional throwback 60's hippie priest (if I had a concept for his thoughts - environment, make peace not war, etc)...so when he talks on "hippie" topics, you understand his pre-existing biases...

But, it wouldn't be how many people want to live, so they'd always be leaving, either for whatever "suburbs" existed, or for other areas entirely. And there seems to be some weird social pressure for people in these environments to be less self sufficient and expect more and more services to be provided for them.

C. They contribute to the overall lawless feel. If someone can just come in illegally and "steal my welfare", then I should just go steal it back. It degrades the legal structure and desire for goodness.
D. Illegals are the ultimate renters. They don't care if they come and go, destroy and depart, cash out and leave...they have zero interest or care in the welfare of America, the country...and that shows.

Abortion on demand made it 'cool' to have unprotected sex without consequence. The problem is, they didn't think about STD's and all. Planned Parenthood was created SPECIFICALLY to kill off the black race, yet a majority of the black communities will defend it to the hilt.

185 AI Overview - The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) and its state/local affiliates significantly influence U.S. housing costs and market conditions through advocacy for increased inventory, zoning reform, and, recently, navigating major legal changes regarding commission structures. NAR data suggests a 2026 comeback with a projected 14% increase in home sales, though price growth is expected to remain firm (around 4%) due to persistent, albeit easing, supply shortages.

And -
Rising homeowners insurance premiums are rapidly becoming a primary driver of the housing affordability crisis, often rivaling mortgage rates and home prices in impact. As of early 2026, insurance costs have increased for five consecutive years, with national premiums projected to rise another 4% to 8%, often exceeding $3,000 annually.

You get more of what you subsidize, and there is no greater example of this than the explosion of single motherhood emanating from LBJ's Great Society. One of the cruelest things to ever happen to the black American community. Thomas Sowell had addressed this at length over the years. American blacks were starting to achieve parity with whites along a number of positive social indicators, then LBJ derailed it.

However, as usual, the Dems decided that this was not in their electoral interest, and renamed programs and implemented mass cheating to get around the limitations.

I agree that sucks.

If I'm reading it correctly, you took that risk by not marrying him. Yes, I'm sure you were young and foolish, but we once had lots of protections around young and foolish men and women that were torn down as "prudish attitudes about sex!"

234 Good writeup, Buck...but you can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up first.

Cities, and especially American cities in the last century just trend leftward, with short spates of common sense when shit gets so bad they elect a conservative-ish government, i.e. the Giuliani years in NYC, during which time the citizenry then forget how bad shit was and it inevitably goes south again in short order.

There are cases in which this happened. Some guy suddenly finds himself years in arrears in child support for a kid that he never knew existed born of a woman he never had sex with, because she put his name on the birth certificate as the father. Misery ensues.

237 Thomas Sowell had addressed this at length over the years. American blacks were starting to achieve parity with whites along a number of positive social indicators, then LBJ derailed it.

Yup. In the late 50s the trend lines were that the black middle class would be at parity by 1980. It didn't take LBJ long to throw it into reverse and blow all the gears out of the transmission.

238 also calling unmarried women "old maids"

In my own life I can see the stark difference in the older women who have a number of kids and grandkids, who tend to be worried about them and practical things, and the childless older women that seem to focus a similar level of concern on whatever the FNM tells them to be concerned about

She was almost certain the father was Paolo based on when she got preggers, but she put down Working Man as the father because hey he could afford to pay.

Surprisingly in the thread about half the posters argued that she was indeed the asshole. The other half argued that since Working Man had sex with her too he was responsible even if it was not actually his kid.

Somehow, though, fraud in paternity doesn't enter into the equation.

268
Based on 2023–2025 data, approximately 40% of all live births in the USA occur outside of marriage. Recent data indicates there are roughly 1.44 million infants born to unmarried mothers annually. While marriage rates have declined, many of these births occur within cohabiting, unmarried partner households. CDC

World Population Review: Not every child born out of wedlock grows up with a single parent. Many are born to cohabiting couples, but cohabiting unions tend to be less stable than marriages, which means children born outside marriage are more likely to experience family breakups and transitions.
---
About a quarter (24%) of women who had their first child from 2020 to 2024 lived with an unmarried partner, up from around 17% in the early 1990s, according to a new U.S. Census Bureau report.

But a smaller share of women had their first child while neither married nor living with a partner, dropping from roughly 20% to about 15% in 30 years.

I'm waiting for the Doctor Ruth book.

294 I was married to him 22 years. He is currently married to my ex best friend.

Being married and having unmarried close friends is a red flag often enough to be a cliche. My brother's first wife was banging his best friend before they even got married. Fortunately that was pretty easy to unwind once he finally admitted that me, our sister, and all of his *other* friends were right and she was "for the streets".

295 286 So, it’s a family law thread now??

How many of those 22 years were good? Did you have your youngest to try to do something to save the marriage? Sort of rhetorical and not expecting an answer. It's that's a scenario I have seen a lot .

For the Heavyweight Goons, it's an "Honor System" thing. The fights aren't exactly fake, per se, but they agree to do it before the game and there's no real emotion behind it. They just do it to justify their spot in the lineup.

Carrots in chili, ketchup on hot dogs...

431 In the pictures from my first wedding people are laughing in the background. Much fortelling the future. My biggest mistake.
Second marriage is still going strong. 33 together and 25 married.

Best Man should never start his speech, "Good to see y'all again".

So it's your fault. You're crossing the streams. Shit or get off the pot.

434 Marriage is grand.

Since ace broke the main page.

436 Since I've been watching horror movies, there's one on Shudder called 'Crazy Old Lady'.

A man goes to do a favor for his ex-wife's mother. Things go badly.

I put it in my watchlist. I'm sure a few morons would find it a comedy.

437 Main page is back up.

438 Being as I am from Chicago, I explain to people that there is lots of affordable housing in Chicago. The question is not how much can you pay, but how much gunfire can you tolerate.

439 If "you can just do things" includes just shooting the bastards, than I'm all for it.

The Morning Report — 3/30/26

Good morning kids. And so we had the so-called "No Kings" protests in a number of cities and towns across America over the weekend. Is it just me or, for a tyrannical king, Donald Trump is the most piss-poor example in history. As longtime commenter of note MP4 once quipped, if he and by extension we really were a fraction of the Nazi fascists they shriek we are, they'd all have been smoke up a crematorium chimney long ago. And this past weekend would've seen the protesters bullet-ridden corpses stacked up like so much cordwood or scooped into dump trucks as seen in Soylent Green. Of course, the things that so many braindead Americans railed against are all part and parcel of the Democrat/Left playbook. Despite parading around in the moldering skin suit of "Democracy" it is they and they alone that have spent the better part of two centuries tearing down the very pillars of the civil society they claim to be defending. It is the sine qua non of projection.

In Saturday’s “No Kings” protests, the usual “resistance” crowd managed to again show their rage at President Donald Trump and their fury at being out of power; they may even have succeeded in mobilizing Democrats for the midterm elections — but they also broadcast the opposition’s complete lack of any coherent political message.

Forget about the waving of Soviet flags and tributes to anti-American dictators at various rallies: The entire “No Kings” conceit is a lie. Democrats against “kings”?  Hah! They love them — as long as the king has a (D) after his name.

Not long ago, Democrats applauded every abuse of executive power by President Barack Obama.

From unconstitutional rewrites of the Affordable Care Act (a k a  ObamaCare), to immigration amnesty for “dreamers” (DACA) and their parents (DAPA); to unilaterally declaring the Senate to be in recess so he could pack the National Labor Relations Board with union lackeys, Obama was not shy about autocratic behavior. 

“I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone,” he declared when Congress refused to bow to his will, vowing “to sign executive orders, and take executive actions and administrative actions.”

He did, and Democrats didn’t complain, but applauded. 

Tom Friedman, The New York Times’ smug voice of liberal “wisdom,” fantasized of what Obama could achieve “if we could just be China for a day.”

Obama lost, often at the Supreme Court. That didn’t stop him.

Nor did it stop President Joe Biden, who became infamous for ignoring Supreme Court decisions.

When the Supreme Court said that extending a COVID-era moratorium on evictions would be unconstitutional, Biden just did it anyway.

The same when the Supremes told Biden he lacked the power to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars in student loan debt. Democrats didn’t protest against Biden acting like a king. In fact, they encouraged him to go even further.

Then there were the coronavirus restrictions, imposed and extended by every Democratic governor.

Blue states shuttered businesses and locked kids out of schools — when Americans in fact could’ve conducted most normal activities safely.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom even banned religious worship in private homes; he’d eventually lose in the Supreme Court — but Democrats had no problem with it. So when it comes to “no kings,” Dems aren’t just accusing Trump — they’re falsifying their own history.

The truth is that Democrats cheer authoritarian behavior — as long as they’re in charge.

Let them back into power, and they’ll prove it once again.

In essence, yet again their protests were puerile, infantile and pointless. And not to be glossed over, in a number of instances Violent.

No Kings demonstrations in Portland, Oregon got out of hand in the evening with protesters sporting gas masks attacking police officers who were trying to control the crowd, according to video posted on X by FreedomNews.tv. There was no immediate word on arrests.

In Dallas, Police had to separate No Kings demonstrators from “Pro America” counter demonstrators as the two groups engaged in heated clashes. Video of the scene showed a protester being hauled away and arrested and other shouting “f–k you” at apparent pro-Trump demonstrators who were carrying flags and automatic weapons.

A large mob of demonstrators waving Palestinian and other flags hurled cement blocks towards Department of Homeland Security agents in Los Angeles.

In short, like Gazan terrorists and Persian oppressors, these usurpers think nothing of preserving their occupation of positions of influence by imperiling their own countrymen, women, and children.

They’re figuratively huddling behind you, and putting their citizenry’s security and substance at risk in direct dereliction of their sworn duty to “insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty.”

You, the American people, are the Democrats’ human shields. 

As I stated last week, the phrase "Death to America" is not native to the Iranian mullahs. It was and is the goal of the anti-American Left and its epicenter in the Democrat party.

Have a great day!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.
