I was in SF for a few days this week. There are cars lining every street, owners paying pennies an hour if they're paying anything at all for the space and the state is tearing up homeless encampments as though the people in them have anywhere else to go or any way to get there. There are parking lots taking up half a city block all over downtown and an affordable housing crisis.
Subsidized housing and full employment programs for cars, subsidized theft and state-sanctioned cruelty for people.

@mhoye It challenges #sensemaking and #CriticalThinking, which is the objective of authoritarian fascists.

@mhoye I wen to SF's suburbs a few years ago, one of the few times I was in the US. Lined with cars, for kilometers. It was shocking. 3-4 cars per house. Because the region was hilly, I could see the suburbs extend everywhere and imagine it was the same situation everywhere. Insane.

@mhoye The subsidy for free or almost free parking on two lanes of almost every publically funded road dwarfs everything given to public transit.
