When NIMBYs say that California is full and their cities can’t accommodate more housing, they are saying that queer people trying to get out of red states are on their own.
New research confirms what many of us see: there's a large internal migration of LGBTQ people in the US, especially trans people, to friendlier states & cities.
Since 11/2024, 9% of all trans people have moved to another state, 43% have considered moving.

“Americans are increasingly hungry for Italian piazzas, Spanish plazas, French places, & similar squares around the globe. But the joy of experiencing life in these public squares leaves some travelers disappointed when they return to the States.”
Don’t let ANYONE tell you it HAS to be that way.

By FPPC’s logic, every homeowner or renter – actually everyone in California – should be disqualified from voting on housing policy.

In Santa Monica, the FPPC has disqualified pro-housing Councilmember Jesse Zwick from all future housing votes. They said that because he works for a housing non-profit, he’s “conflicted” and must recuse.
Pretty absurd. The NIMBY deep state strikes again.

Heard a lot of the same at WeHo rezoning meetings where a significant number of homeowners voiced not wanting to “do anything differently until the subway is done” (which is estimated 2047-49)
The “we can’t possibly build more homes because our infrastructure isn’t perfect” argument is ubiquitous in San Francisco housing debates.
It’s effectively saying “sorry, no home for you until all infrastructure is perfect — go live 100 miles away.”
The argument is also factually baseless:

LA is hands-down the ugliest paradise on Earth. But its electeds fight to preserve our one-story decaying strip malls, SFHs and homeless encampments. Drive down any arterial road – Venice, La Brea, La Cienega, etc. – and it is the most aesthetically displeasing waste of incredibly valuable land.
