Your Aug. 22 headline at the entrance web page (“Can space’s drought, housing cohabitate?”) showcases the query of whether or not the drought or housing is the concern.
After years of perennial drought, the solution would seem to be evident. The builders and the politicians imagine each will also be addressed. On reflection, a housing and development moratorium will have to had been mandated years in the past.
This isn’t a NIMBY factor however a commonplace sense technique to save you additional water shortages which we’re recently experiencing. The larger development may also purpose extra energy outages all over all of the area. Let’s hope explanation why overrides greed and political pursuits.

Re. “Newsom shoots down Bay House drug injection websites,” Web page A1, Aug. 23:
Thanks, Gov. Newsom, for being the voice of explanation why and commonplace sense along with your veto at the crisis that used to be Senate Invoice 57. The very last thing any town wishes is sanctioned drug abuse on its streets.
Unfortunately, some elected officers assume that taking into account extra drug use in a protected environment is the solution. Other folks with addictions want actual answers to assist with preventing and overcoming their substance abuse, now not extra medication to feed it.
But even so, well being care suppliers take an oath to do no hurt. I’m lovely certain sanctioning drug abuse is a transparent violation of that vow.

I’ve been looking ahead to this: In his Aug. 28 letter to the editor, Robert Drury decried the life of off-campus pupil housing in Berkeley, which welcomes all approach of other folks instead of us White people.
For the reason that marginalized other folks had been excluded and worse for many years, centuries, eons, from puts and alternatives openly or “understood” to be for Whites most effective, perhaps it’s top time we revel in what it feels love to be rejected at the foundation of our pores and skin colour by myself. I’m certain it’s uncomfortable, Mr. Drury, having that shoe in your foot for a transformation.

I’m a Christian and a nationalist. However I’m now not a Christian nationalist. Thomas Higgins (“The theory of Christian nationalism is a malignant falsehood,” Web page A6, Aug. 23 visitor column) and Invoice McGrath (“Christianity has no position in our politics,” Web page A6, Aug. 25 letter) fail to know the adaptation.
Maximum Christian conservatives nowadays strenuously reject the concept that The us will have to be a Christian country, wherein Christian perspectives and values will have to dominate. Relatively, we imagine in pluralism. This is, that every one other folks, whether or not they’re devout of any shape or non-religious, will have to have an equivalent proper (up to is conceivable) now not most effective to imagine what you need to imagine, however in an effort to specific it brazenly, and, even, to take a look at to steer society accordingly.
To imagine that faith will have to be stored out of politics and executive is if truth be told the perfect of Marxism, now not American democracy. And far and wide Marxism and its unique secularism prevails it results in the enslavement and impoverishment of all however the 1% or so in energy.

“It’s the economic system, silly” used to be the word Invoice Clinton used for his 1992 presidential run. Thirty years later “It’s the hypocrisy, silly” that will probably be related to Joe Biden.

He continuously preaches “the guideline of legislation” however comfortably forgets in July 2021 Speaker Pelosi stated he lacks government authority to grant debt forgiveness, that such motion can be unlawful, and that mortgage cancellation calls for an act of Congress. His felony justification for debt forgiveness is the post-9/11 HEROES Act, which permits pupil mortgage aid because of warfare or “nationwide emergency,” which the Division of Training now says is the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Might 2022, Biden attempted to finish Identify 42 restrictions, which allowed the expulsion of asylum seekers as a result of the COVID pandemic. So in Might we not had a COVID emergency at the border however in August we’ve a COVID pandemic pupil mortgage emergency. Oh, the hypocrisy.
