I just know he lives in my neighborhood from seeing his family in local diners and seeing him discus our district Council Member as his Council Member. I suspect he lives "up hill" from me (in a wealthier area). I also used to pass by the Kos offices that were right next to the low income pharmacy I use a lot, so I may have seen a lot of Kossacks over the years, though I wouldn't be able to put names to faces.
I agree Kos is a hypocrite, and he does run a media empire. Daily Kos is only a small part of it.
The very idea he could stereotype the homeless in Berkeley as out-of-towners who come in for a lifestyle lark (a rightwing meme!) when Berkeley is ground zero for the Disability Rights Movement and has a large population on fixed incomes because of disability - instantly impoverished by tech-driven inflation - makes me nauseous. What does it take to get a multimillionaire to just walk out doors, lift his head up, and look around?
