The hotter the housing market, the higher the homelessness ~ilana

The egalitarians have appropriated the anti-zoning argument. They now malign single-family neighborhoods in favor of promoting density, which is—wouldn’t you know it?—more expensive and thus more lucrative. It also jibes with the progressive climate agenda to corral as many people possible into rent-a-bed, pod-living arrangements. ~ilana

Excerpt:

Trust the late, much-missed Anthony Bourdain, the Kerouac of cooking, to blurt out the truth when nobody else would as to the root causes of homelessness. Other than libeling the poor as mental drug addicts, the rest—conservatives and liberals in cahoots—call for denser development (as greedy developers lick their chops), and certainly none of those dreamy picket fences for the poor.

It is … more edifying to survey the special interests currently involved in the anti-zoning debate. Tellingly, these are the grubby interests of the developers, the realtors and the municipalities, hunkering after more property taxes. All are, inadvertently, protesting the idea of the “Single-family home that offers people a chance at traditional, white-picket fence home-ownership.”

Development fiends all hunger for the revenues that come from “dense housing,” namely “any housing that’s attached to another unit, often in taller buildings: apartments, condos, town homes, row houses.”

Against this background, it seems clear that the egalitarians have appropriated the anti-zoning argument. They now malign single-family neighborhoods in favor of promoting density, which is—wouldn’t you know it?—more expensive and thus more lucrative. Dense living also jibes with the progressive climate agenda to corral as many people possible into rent-a-bed, pod-living arrangements.

UPDATE II (3/19): NEW COLUMN: Slandering The Homeless: Mass Immigration, Not Mental Disease & Addiction

Excerpt:

… Big Tech must be quite pleased to see homelessness attributed exclusively, by the usual cast on TV, to addiction and mental illness—when, in fact, homelessness is driven, primarily, by the systematic and permanent eviction from the housing market of vulnerable, working-class people.

This is certainly so in Washington State. Homelessness in the Emerald City has been exacerbated by Big Tech and the other multinationals, for these stateless corporations are the major importers, into King County and the surrounds, of a high-tech, feudal elite that compounds the homeless quagmire.

If anything, the corporations that straddle the globe rely on immigration ignoramuses to perpetuate the single-cause theory of homelessness: addiction or mental illness.

However, even if drug addiction and mental illness are seen as necessary in causing homelessness, they are seldom sufficient. Substance abuse and mental anguish can, in themselves, be the consequence of other exogenous, existential and intractable circumstances.

Such as being priced out of your homeland’s housing market. For good….

UPDATED (3/18):  Want to talk about the hypothesis I floated about homelessness? Here goes on Unz Review: ILANA is Jewish, so well of course, homelessness.

Sometimes bullies, stalkers, haters and plain asinine cowards have to be dispatched. Done:

Copious data against the mental illness/drug libel is here: “Everything you think you know about homelessness is wrong” by Aaron Carr. It’s the artificially, ever-hot housing market!

UPDATED (1/28): Democrats’ Biden Classified-Doc Breech: Republican Political Eunuchs Swallow The Bait

COVID-19, Democrats, Donald Trump, Free Speech, IMMIGRATION, Individual Rights, Race, Racism, Republicans, Technology, The State

The Republican orgy over the orchestrated ouster of Biden in the matter of classified, “highly sensitive” state-documents, demonstrates how this lot, the GOP, is unseriousness about first-principle obligations to the voters. These are:

* Impeaching Biden for the country invaded and consequently permanently altered. From here on in, America will be what I term in my book, Into the Cannibal’s Pot, a dominant-party state.

* Demanding day-in, day-out that the 4-5 million outlaws invited into out country illegally be rounded up and deported, and not one more penny be stolen from taxpayers to pay for their keep and safe passage into American communities.

* Repealing all manner of Covid tyranny, including the ban on white, unvaccinated non-citizens from vising the US. Why do I assert that the travel ban on the unvaccinated is anti-white ? Because the reg says that foreigners from “countries with limited COVID-19 vaccine availability” may stream into the USA unvaccinated! This rule is a proxy for race, engineered to privilege brown and black Third Worlders and oust whites.

*Besides, why is the Administrative State—the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) legislating around our right of freedom of movement, and that of our friends and trading partners? Is it not an opportune time for the fucking GOP castrati to challenge the Managerial State’s usurpation of constitutional rights?

*Beating back crime and lawlessness: Clearing cities of homeless encampments, allowing cops to stop crime and for citizens to defend person and property against it.

*Defunding all institutions that practice woke anti-whiteness: schools, tertiary, secondary, primary.

*Launching Civil Rights action against any financial institution engaged in financial deplatforming based on thought crimes and impolite speech.

* Ceasing to bait the Russian bear, forcing a diplomatic solution on that kept man, Zelensky.

Or, given how dumb the GOP (RIP) is, just do what the good Governor Ron DeSantis is doing, but amplified.

UPDATE (1/28): The Mar-a-Lago Vs. Delaware distinction.

Other strictly partisan, less-philosophical conservatives, like Victor Davis Hansen, will try and draw distinctions around classified documents between their guy’s infractions, Biden’s, and our guy’s transgressions. This “Trump did it right” vs. “Biden did it wrong” case is an extension of the original distraction.

In fact, you don’t have to read such an undignified argument—I don’t—to know that it is NOT and argument from first principles.

NEW COLUMN (Updated: 12/23): The D-Bomb, Realpolitik, Zelensky’s Self-Serving ‘Heroics’ & What ‘Mixed-Race’ Really Means

Zelensky is a kept man, his flesh softer than sin under the khaki costume ~ilana

NEW COLUMN is “The D-Bomb, Realpolitik, Zelensky’s Self-Serving ‘Heroics’ & What ‘Mixed-Race’ Really Means.” It’s currently on WND.COM, The Unz Review and The New American, on Townhall.com.

What ‘Mixed-Race’ Really Means” is part of the unabbreviated column, only on The Unz Review, and now easiest read in full on ilanaMercer.com

Excerpt:

Broadly speaking, anyone (other than white South Africans) can claim “credible fear” at the US south-western border, and must, by law, be given safe passage. That, combined with family unification policies—one legal, third-world immigrant brings in a tribe—and birthright citizenship, a legal aberration not practiced by any serious country in the world, have made population replacement in the United States a fait accompli, a done deal.

Indisposed to idle optimism, your columnist refuses to dish anything but reality about the future of the United States from the vantage point of immigration. The demographic tipping point has arrived, by which I mean that America’s annual intake of legal and illegal immigrants, coupled with immigration law, for which the Uniparty is responsible, account for the exponential nature of this top-down scheme to swamp America.

Millions of invaders are invited in annually, to take up residence in a country in which they will be inculcated into a militant anti-white culture; taught to hate their hosts in the purplest of ways. The statist scandal has been underway for decades now.

In all, be realistically pessimistic, America, but do not despair. For your optimism, look to localism. As hard as this is, individuals who’re politically and philosophically aligned must endeavor to congregate in small communities of the like-minded. Create we must our own immutable reality on the ground to counter theirs. …

… Another late, more meaningful, awakening has come from Dr. Henry Kissinger. The famous originator of realpolitik in diplomacy finally piped up in favor of “achieving peace through negotiation” between Ukraine and Russia. Kissinger reminded his neocon readership at The Spectator, alas belatedly and all-too timidly, that “Russia has made decisive contributions to the global equilibrium and to the balance of power for over half a millennium. Its historical role should not be degraded.” He “recommended establishing a ceasefire line along the borders existing where the war started…”

Well before its originator, your columnist was first to revive the realpolitik concept in the context of Ukraine. If the invasion of Ukraine commenced on February, 24, 2022; then March 3, 2022 saw yours truly writing the following in “Uncle Sam Still King Of All Invaders: Ukraine, Realpolitik And The West’s Failure“: …

Writes an Unz Review reader:

I looked up GOAT: Greatest Of All Time.

This is a relatively popular expression you might hear in everyday, face-to-face conversation.
…GOAT is an acronym typically used to describe something or someone as the absolute best in its league or category
