Nope. I didn’t make the contention about rent control because we have sprinklers, M_Dub quoted that in their argument. If you had looked at the context of the quote, I was replying to someone concerned about the Ghost Ship fire and was, rightly, concerned that funding us would just be funding a dangerous living condition.
You’re right about people not all working the same, which is why these public engagements are difficult. If I had made a legalistic plea, someone else might’ve been irked that I hadn’t made an emotional one… you and I might think more similarly than you assume. I think we have a lot of arguments on our side, it’s hard to put them all into a post meant for general consumption though.
Cheers!
