For the record, I do appreciate you actually explaining your thinking. It's not accurate thinking given what I wrote, and it displays courage to write up and not just click the downvote button.

I never said there was a "vast right wing conspiracy" nor did I imply that. You are the only person saying that and thinking that in this thread. You don't want to jump to conclusions, but you already did, didn't you? I wrote: "... that a small minority of people (who could be Rs or Ds) can effectively block legislation to change housing laws." How did you turn that into a vast right wing conspiracy UNLESS you already felt that "someone out there" already thinks that (well before my post)?

  None of my statements ever said that I think Republicans have a right wing conspiracy to prevent affordable housing. I am refuting the assertion made by the article that says Liberals are to blame. I think it is more complicated. I point out that there are voters in SF who vote Republican. DOWNVOTES because I must be saying Republicans are to blame. Hint: I never said that, nor do I believe that. I point out that people that align with Trump's immigration policy that live in SF might not be open minded about changing their mind. DOWNVOTES because I must be saying Republicans are not open minded. Hint: I never said that, nor do I believe that. Hint: downvoters, you aren't reading carefully. And, if there is a hint of people making assumptions about who you are, and you are angry, and it is translating into downvotes, then you have some introspection work to do.
