18 years later, Oakland megaproject kicks off first move-ins

By Stephen Frank on Aug 18, 2019 08:49 pm
Why do we have a housing shortage in California?  Why is the cost of housing so high?  Oakland has a great example of how government, special interest groups and court cases have held up the creation of 3100 homes, please retail space and hundreds of jobs. “Signature Development’s 241-unit Orion project — which opens this […]

Ex-State Sen. Cannella launches Stanislaus Co. Supervisor bid

By Stephen Frank on Aug 18, 2019 08:43 pm
The Democrats knew they had, when needed, a GOP’er in the Assembly and State Senate willing to vote the Democrat line.  In fact, his father was a Democrat member of the Assembly a few years ago.  Why are you paying higher tax on gas?  Ask Anthony Cannella why he did it.  Yes, he claims he […]

Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen says tech has ‘messed up’ San Fran

By Stephen Frank on Aug 18, 2019 08:36 pm
There are two sides to every story.  While tech has created an economic boom in San Fran, it has caused housing to be unaffordable to those earning less than $250,000 a year.  It has allowed the homeless to grow as the poor push others out of expensive places. Some in the tech industry realize there […]

A New Way To Look At Poverty In California–Without Doing anything About It

By Stephen Frank on Aug 18, 2019 08:35 pm
This more be one of the silliest stories ever.  Does it really matter if the suburbs have more poverty than the rural areas?  Does it really matter if you spend billions in the cities to end homelessness—you see the more spent, the worse the situation?  Stop digging the hole. Stop spending time with definitions—work on […]

By Stephen Frank on Aug 18, 2019 08:33 pm
The San Fran airport is banning the sale of water in plastic bottles.  This is the start.  The next step is to stop the sale of soda and other drinks in bottles and cans at the airport.  Then, the banning of plastic and cans of soda at the airport—totally.  Once done, you will see cities […]

AOC/Democrats: Chinese Collusion?

By Stephen Frank on Aug 18, 2019 09:01 am
Who is helped by the AOC/Socialist Democrat Party Green Dream?  The major benefactor is the socialist/totalitarian nation of China.  This is a nation AOC has never opposed or spoken out against.  Now we know why—her political plan is for the Chinese to control the buses and trains sold in this country—even if they are mediocre […]

Union MUSCLE Gets City to Fire City Manager—for Representing the People NOT The Union

By Stephen Frank on Aug 18, 2019 08:55 am
This article leaves no doubt that the families, businesses and taxpayers no longer have control over local government.  The folks that PAY for the election of most city councils, then negotiates working conditions and pay, control those running the city.  In Richmond, the unions realized the city manager was working for the people—that can not […]

Worried about wildfires, Californians ready to spend, vote to fight climate change

By Stephen Frank on Aug 18, 2019 08:52 am
What would you spend to end, or at least control the intensity of forest fires?  My guess is anything that it takes.  On the other hand, we already know that government lies.  We know that when you give money to government, they will spend it as they want, not how they told us they would […]

Hollywood parrots the Chinese Communist party line

By Stephen Frank on Aug 18, 2019 08:46 am
Hollywood Progressives love China and they love money.  So they have no problems making their movies into either pro-China or anti-American films. “There are, of course, some conditions. The movie must feature a certain number of Chinese actors, a certain number of Chinese locations and cannot portray China as a villain. ‘We have a huge […]

Harris: I’m not in favor of decriminalizing illegal immigration, I just won’t treat it like a crime!

By Stephen Frank on Aug 18, 2019 08:40 am
Is Kamala Harris bi-polar?  Or is she just a sleazy politico, trying to be on both sides of an issues and telling the public wan they want to hear? ““Let me just be very clear,” Kamala Harris tells Meghan McCain right before she does the exact opposite. It’s rare to see an experienced politician contradict […]
