I saw where a walking dead stunt man got seriously injured while in production recently. If it wasn't for that bastard Trump in office this shite wouldn't have happened #notmypresident

It's a rental? Wouldn't it fall under the applicable California landlord-tenant laws?


Again, appeal to authority. California landlord-tenant laws are pretty fricked up, and I can tell you that with first-hand experience.

Why should you be able to tell me what to do with my own private housing?

I don't think they're so fricked up that being Asian is a disqualification

Well I didn't know we were trying to get into the actual merits of government-mandated equal housing and whether it should exist. Obviously I understand the notion of not wanting to be told what to do with your own private property. But when you open your own property up to the public, you're inevitably going to have to face new layers of regulation. I was just explaining that this whole thing isn't merely some kooky idea cooked up by the nutty California state government to piss you off.

It's a fairly onerous legal process to evict a tenant or, as I know, a roommate, even given American legal precedent. I'm actually surprised a lot of what goes on in California regarding this has never gotten USSC certiorari (as least as far as I know). If it takes ten months to evict an illegal tenant, is that just? In what world?

It is a truly fricked system, and, in my opinion, a system of a much larger problem of perpetuating what are, on the surface, egalitarian and "democratic" policies of local Democrats (i.e., zoning, a lot of local sales taxes, local income and property taxes, etc.) that end up fricking the middle class in these areas. That's why they are losing so many people to Texas, Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and so forth. For the record, I live in probably the absolute worst place for this illicit collusion possible (Chicago and Illinois), so it certainly colors my view.

Property rights need to get much, much, much stronger in California as a counter-balance to all the asinine shite they've done over the last thirty years. Otherwise, they're going to continue to have a disappearing middle class and the worst wealth gap in America.

What do you mean by illegal? Like they've violated the lease? I'm sorry, but you're going to have to elaborate on how that process could possibly take almost a year.

That is insane. She is a shitty person but to fine her and send her to classes is stupid. It's like forcing people to bake a cake.

Extremely, extremely onerous and time-consuming.

You have to file a lawsuit, serve a notice, wait until the notice expires if the tenant so desires, wait for a response, and on and on and on. It's essentially impossible to do it without a well-paid legal professional. It's regulatory capture by the attorney lobby in California.

I live in a deep blue city (that I love) and state now that are probably the most corrupt and broke city and state in America, but I cannot imagine a more fiscally and regulatory screwed up place than the West Coast I knew a few years ago.

Airbnb isn't fining her though...the government is. If Airbnb was fining her I couldn't give a shite but the government is.

I'll also say that I was middle of the road-ish overall - probably soft right economically and hard left socially - before I moved out there when I was in my young 20's.

A year or two there changed my mind with a quickness, and I hate West Coast and Chicago Democrats probably more than anything than I've ever hated in my entire life. Corrupt, spend-thrift, duplicitous, etc. does not do them 1/10th the justice they deserve. For every Kansas, you have five Illinois' or Maryland's or Massachusetts'. It's just a corrupt arse machine at the local level. I understand local politics can be very corrupt - I am from a fairly corrupt Republican district - but the sheer scale and audacity at the local level in major urban Dem districts is just astonishing to me; the amount they fricking steal vis a vis corrupt Republican districts is just hilarious.

Hike that income tax again, Illinois and Chicago. Let's see how that works for you. You're already the third-most heavily taxed state in America.

She is. And she's correctly being punished for it.

Special protections under the law behind that flag, you know.
