  • It simply makes no sense that it only blocks Chinese citizens specifically.

    I don’t want anyone to buy/own housing which goes uninhabited for a long time while there are so many homeless people who need a place to call home.

    It’s difficult to imagine a person struggling to buy/rent an apartment/house, and for them to get mad about nationalities, rather than the fact that housing needs to be an “investment opportunity” over being recognized as the basic human need that it really is.

    I hardly care if it’s Chinese people, Wallstreet, some Big Tech corporation, or just individual landlords driving up prices.

    Housing must be accessible to all people, if a society wants to call itself civilized.

    This bill going against Chinese citizens, rather than all foreigners tells you all you need to know about the real motivations behind it.


  • Could’ve worked on tackling climate change, inflation, homelessness, (some form of) European style health care, labour rights, or expand public transit, but they choose to discriminate against transgender people for zero gain.

    Why are the United States so wird?

    And how do you even enforce such a law effectively?
    Many people have very good passing, and there have already been (self video-) recorded cases of cisgender people getting “accused” of being trans by some transphobe.

    No one even wants these laws, at least most people don’t.

    And why is the headline so non-judgemental? “Regulates” isn’t a good fit for tyranny imo.
