Okay so his thought is to cut back wage requirements for construction workers so that they can address the housing shortage by building housing quicker. Where are those construction workers going to fucking live while they build? They probably barely afford rent as it is! And you just know that the companies that employ them would happily pay them less but somehow make record profits…

MODERATORS
We need more homes and especially low cost homes.
Agreed. I think the point being made here is that undermining the wages of construction workers is not an acceptable method of achieving affordable housing.
For Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential contender, it was a striking show of resistance from a flank of his own party over housing. A priority of the Democratic governor, Newsom had put his political capital behind an attempt to strong-arm the Legislature by making the entire state budget contingent on passing a bill to speed housing development by relaxing environmental protection rules
Literally what trump is doing...
People forget for decades trump was buddy buddy with all these "moderate" Dems.
He didn't give them millions every campaign cycle because he wanted to help people. It's because "moderate" Dems are all giant pieces of shit. That's why a bunch of them just endorsed Cuomo.
Dem voters won't vote for that shit anymore, regardless of if they should, they just won't.
So it's fucking insane to force them into that choice again just to see who blinks.
When all we have to do is run candidates that agree with their voting bases.
