San Francisco is the result of full Democrat control

I don’t live that far from Cherokee. They are a Fierce and Serious people. They have to be, because the government tried pretty hard to genocide them. And yes, there are a lot of people around here who follow the “one drop” rule of Cherokee heritage, even though Cherokees themselves do not recognize one ancestor as qualifying you to be an Indian. That being said...call me crazy but I kind of see the high cheekbones...

But anyway, yeah see, do you guys remember [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabrini–Green_Homes]Cabrini Green?[/url]
It was a beautiful affordable living high rise neighborhood when it was originally developed, but it fell into disrepair and became known as one of the most hellish places on earth. I believe it’s all torn down now. Too bad. I love that style of architecture.

This would happen in CA if they built affordable living projects without making sure the occupants also had jobs, education, healthcare including drug rehabilitation and mental health, and childcare. A major, major undertaking. And really social rehabilitation too. Families need to stay together, gangs need to be reorganized for positive change instead of crime, people in general need to turn away from anger and despair and work toward making their lives pleasant.

I'm not voting for Warren if she gets the nomination, but it has nothing to do with her native American ancestry claims. In fact, there's not one Democratic candidate I will support, at this point.

Re- Elizabeth Warren's ancestry.

According to family stories I am 1/128th Jamaican (my grandmother's grandmother's mother). The only proof of this I have one way or another is my maternal lineage mitochondrial haplotype traces to west africa. If accurate this puts me as more African American than Elizabeth Warren is Native American.

I'm a red-haired, pink-skinned individual who if I listed myself as African American on anything would've been ridiculed and laughed at (rightly so I'll add).

Warren claimed to be Native American on a Texas bar administration card. She was listed as Native American diversity by Harvard and Penn when she was faculty there. Later she denied knowing the schools listed her as such. She likely, though the records have never been released claimed it on school and job applications. She committed fraud plain and simple.

Due to the Trump effect people seem to be glossing this over. Much like Joe Biden, she benefits from the opposition being such a rotting carcass of morality that her indiscretions look minor.

Harvard boasted about having a 'woman of colour'. I'm more Native than her.

I feel like Elizabeth Warren was seeking to take advantage of her alleged "minority" status. So she can gain some sort of advantage.

I don't feel what she did was right.

Solutions:

1. Ban investment firms from buying homes.

2. Change zoning to allow multi-family homes. Oregon recently signed such a bill into law.

3. Reaffirm housing as a basic human right.

4. Raze decrepit buildings and build high-density, non-luxury apartments.

5. Legislation that states that home prices cannot rise faster than per capita income. If need be, roll back prices to match the national average. There have been homes in the Bay Area that were gutted by fire, or infested with mold and rats, still selling for over $1 mil.

A distinction should be made between a person overstating something vs telling a deliberate falsehood . Warren should have said " I have Native American ancestry " not that she was Native American . She's not the first, and certainly won't be the last , to overly identify with a small % of , for want of a better phrase, 'exotic ancestry' .

It seems to me that on this issue some are deliberately seeking to make a mountain out of a molehill .
