It is Always Someone Else’s Fault

Posted on by

Quote of the Day

Let’s be precise about causes. For example, the housing crisis isn’t a progressive policy failure — it’s rooted in decades of restrictive zoning, corporate real estate speculation. Homelessness requires federal funding for mental health services and addiction treatment. Blue cities can’t solve (problems like these) alone.

Why do progressives forgive failed government?

Hartman is referring, in part to Los Angles. The Los Angles mayor’s office has been occupied by a Democrat for the last 25 years.

Reading the article and statement like the one above it sounds like a symptom of a personality disorder–It is always someone else’s fault.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. For a more in depth look at this topic see also How stupid do they think we are?

  1. “For example, the housing crisis isn’t a progressive policy failure — it’s rooted in decades of restrictive zoning, corporate real estate speculation.”
    and decades of gradually tightening construction codes. The sort of regulatory encroachment that gives Progressives seats at the commission table.

    “Homelessness requires federal funding for mental health services and addiction treatment.” A little phrasing problem here, but he’s not wrong. If there were no Federal funding to make homelessness a little more comfortable, to make it a lifestyle versus an unfortunate outcome, maybe we would see a lot fewer homeless people. Maybe that’s what he meant after all?

  3. “Let’s be precise about causes. For example, the housing crisis isn’t a progressive policy failure — it’s rooted in decades of restrictive zoning…”

    The lack of self awareness should be obvious.

    Restrictive zoning IS progressive policy. Conservatives generally feel the government has no business telling people what they can and cannot do with their own land

  4. Of course, it’s also a problem that there are millions, maybe tens of millions, of illegal immigrants flooding into the country. Restrictive building codes are not nearly as big a problem if the population is stable or declining. But with it ballooning massively from newcomers, then yes, you are going to need a lot more housing. (admittedly, border-security has been a bipartisan failure, but not a uniform one)
