Poperty rights, schmoperty rights.

Investors who let California homes sit empty could face fines under proposed law

“Corporations that own California properties could soon be fined for keeping homes vacant for more than
three months under a proposed law to give tenants, nonprofits and cities more say over what happens to
empty buildings.

“Senate Bill 1079 would allow local officials to adopt ordinances to fine “in an unspecified amount”
corporations and companies that leave residential buildings vacant for more than 90 days. The money
would then have to be used for “homeless diversion, rental assistance and other affordable housing purposes.”

“The proposal also permits cities and counties to buy or take over a company’s residential property if it’s
been vacant for at least 90 days. The local agency would then have to maintain the home and rent it at
an affordable price to “families of low or moderate income” or sell it to a community land trust or housing
sponsor, according to the bill language.”

Goodness Californians need a revolution. Democrats have forcefully turned this state into a shithole of drug addiction and homelessness and forced us taxpayers to foot the bill. I have no idea how anyone with any sort of common sense could support these politicians.

Don't vacant properties invite vandalism and squatters? This could be one reason for encouraging filling vacancies even at a reduced rental rate.

The bill does not cite crime reduction as a reason, so you’re backing in your own rationale to justify a stupid and awful bill.

A cornerstone of Western Civilization is the recognition of property rights.  If you own it, you can keep it, rent it, alienate it, pass it to your heirs, etc.  

Forcing property owners to rent at prices lower than they otherwise would is a form of price control, which almost always leads to shortages.  How ironic.

I must admit, I haven't read the bill. My reasoning is based on logic not what is written in a bill. One question, why is Trump violating the cornerstone of Western Civilization by using eminent domain to seize private property on which to build 'the wall'?

Trump has long supported the use of eminent domain, using it when he was working in real estate and defending the concept during the 2016 presidential campaign. He argues that it will prove essential in getting a border wall built. “You have to use eminent domain,” Trump said during a Rose Garden briefing. “If we had one person that wouldn’t sell us ... then we wouldn’t be able to build proper border security because we’d have that big opening.”

Conflating the actions of a state with the actions of the Federal gov’t is either sloppy or disingenuous. 
You mention Trump by name three times in your response and post a link from a young adult website
to criticize Trump.  Your agenda is clear.   

But you’re eliding the property rights issue potentially at stake here in CA.  Just answer the following:

A farmer in CA’s central valley has idled some farmland but is told by the state to grow certain crops or
face the loss of the farmland via eminent domain.  Would you be OK with this?

Generally speaking I think invoking eminent domain is wrong regardless if done at the federal, state or local level. Private property ownership is a basic right worth protecting. Having said that, there are undoubtedly times when evoking eminent domain is warranted. As to the situation you've exampled, I am not qualified to speak to this matter, mainly because I lack detailed and specific information.

A couple of decades ago, all the property on a residential inner city block was forcefully purchased using eminent domain because the nearby hospital said they needed it for expansion. The houses were razed and the land sat vacant. Although the hospital did expand, the expansion did not include this land. The people who had lived there, some for many generations lost their homes and their neighborhood because they could not afford to purchase elsewhere within the immediate area. They essentially were displaced to areas that were much more suburban. Recently, the city built low income housing on this land and gave those who had long ago been displaced first dibs on the apartments. This was not exactly a win for those folks who'd been forced out years prior.

"Portland and Legacy Health announce plans to honor African American community with North Portland development

Updated Jan 09, 2019; Posted Aug 01, 2017

By Jessica Floum | The Oregonian/OregonLive

Forty-five years ago, at the request of Emanuel Hospital, the city of Portland razed almost 300 homes and businesses in the North Portland heart of the African American community to make way for a planned hospital expansion.

On Tuesday, Legacy Health and the city announced plans to develop a 1.7-acre North Portland block that was once the commercial center of black Portland in a way that will recognize that history."

NBA announcer Grant Napear placed on leave for tweeting ‘All Lives Matter’
New York Post ^ | June 1, 2020 | Mark Fischer
Posted on 6/2/2020, 8:26:46 AM by ConservativeStatement

Sacramento Kings play-by-play announcer Grant Napear was placed on administrative leave by his radio station Monday after tweeting “All Lives Matter,” a controversial phrase associated with belittling the Black Lives Matter movement.

“All Lives Matter… Every Single One!” the 60-year-old Napear tweeted Sunday after former Kings star Demarcus Cousins asked the KHTK radio host for his view on the Black Lives Matter movement.

The president goes into a bunker when rioters approach the White House.

The president walks out of the White House to an historic church, like a boss, gives a speech, and holds up a Bible.
