In reply to the discussion: Sanders accuses Apple of 'throwing pennies at a housing crisis' it 'helped create' [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)65. One of the problems that I see with the Bay Area
is there was no regional plan for growth that took into account overall livability. That same problem is happening in Florida as areas in the state grow. Each town or county looks just at itself and the state does a weak to non existent coordinating job of inducing regional planning. If a home is within a 30 minute drive of people that work in a bustling area, those people are going to buy homes in that area, I see that near me, where people with high paying jobs in Gainesville are buying nice homes in north Ocala or in Archer or Waldo, all once slower places near Gainesville, that creates massive traffic congestion.

More "crumbs" than anyone else, including the one that is bashing Apple for doing this.

Sanders announces his "Housing for All" plan in September and now Apple announces this.

Bernie runs on anger-fuel. Maybe anger is his inspiration. But so misplaced here. Celebrate

Apple does a good deed and Bernie is pissed. Pretty strange by my reckoning.

Don't blow of the fantasy of the evil Corp parachuting into happy-land and screwing things up.

Bernie has a burn it down mindset, without thinking deeply with what he will replace it with.
