@D B There are homeless people in conservative areas as well. You just failed to recognize them.

[@jaydel3]

@D B You're dumb. There are homeless people everywhere and the top 10 worst states in the USA in terms of jobs, education, income, poverty, etc are conservative states. Just google it. CA is 10% of the entire US population, so 1 out of 10 Americans are in California. That means bigger nominal population of homelessness just like there are more homless people in areas near London, Paris, Tokyo, and Sydney versus the smaller populated areas. It's all about supply and demand. Eventually, a lot of people will naturally move to cheaper states as is the norm.

[@kirynsong497]

What this story doesn't mention is that the billionaires buying these homes are from the Middle East and Africa using blood money. They conduct business with a different set of standards and rules. Some traffic people in to the US to serve them and they are treated like modern day slaves. The streets in bel air are narrow and have many blind curves. They drive their expensive rolls Royce and Ferraris super fast and do not stop at stop signs. They also hire "models" to entertain them and a lot of the times they OD and die. If you think the rich Americans are horrible and entitled assholes. These guys are far worse than the assholes here. A lot of them have diplomatic immunity so when trouble hits they leave the US real quick on their private jets.

Pull up photos of foreign countries cities I have listed and compare them to major U.S. cities. We have major infrastructure issues while other countries are thriving, and it is because we have given away our manufacturing and jobs to these countries.

I don't see the problem except in cases where it is clear that a structure is dangerous for it's own residents or the homes below it. Construction is construction.

I think people in the comment section are not grasping the difference between the 2 sizes… 8,000sqft is the size of a 5 bedroom Georgian home. 90,000sqft is the size of a strip mall!!! There’s a ginormous difference. This is not even a studio flat vs a 4 bedroom house, it’s large amounts of private residential space eating up your suburbs. My point being I think it’s in everyone’s best interests that they don’t build giga mansions. I couldn’t care less about the rich people who already live there, it’s about losing more land to the ultra wealthy and never getting it back for wildlife or parks.
