... I've never heard of anyone taking a bus when they own a car, except for when its broke or they're too broke to spend the gas

Buses make traffic worse because a lot of the people who ride them would otherwise have to just walk, and also are far less cool than trains and train adjacent transportation.

What it's telling is that I live in the SF bay area and bus transit is loving awful here. Sounds like it's better in other places, which is cool, but also doesn't address my real point, which is they're still lame cars and not cool trains.

"buses make traffic worse" is one of the dumbest things anyone has ever said about buses

Is there some way we could stop rich people from having opinions?

I mean if they had the guts they could just use eminent domain, this would be a completely valid reason to use it

they won’t of course, eminent domain only gets to be used for highways and not transit

Home ownership represents the vast bulk of what wealth is left for working and middle class homeowners and is the most common wealth creation entry point for working and middle class individuals and families, particularly those of color. Homeownership, tenancy, and small landlord wealth creation are the pocket that global capital wants to appropriate for itself and there is no question in my mind that is what SB 50 (as well as other bills like SB 330 and AB 1485) accomplishes.

Imagine no property rights, subcontractors, or borgie town councils interfering with our beautiful train utopia.

Environmentalists, unions, and historic buildings of course can still block train construction, but they're just boogie men to blame the actions of the above groups.

I’ve got bad news for you about what booj town councils use to block trains (and everything else)

I'm trying to evaluate a few mayoral choices for their affordable housing policies, and while I know to immediately bin the ones proposing tax credits as a solution, I'm not sure if mandatory affordable housing percentages in new developments to disincentivize luxury bullshit + taxing at last sale price (vs estimated market) to disincentivize gentrifying is better or worse than set affordable housing targets built per year.

A bit of succ in every choice, but I'm trying to be sensible in which succ I vote for.

taxing at last sale price is just prop 13, which is bad
