So I absolutely deplore the "what's your point?" attempt to try to pretend that somebody you disagree with didn't actually have a point. In fact, I downvote it when I see it - if the point was clear, and someone asks "what's your point?", I downvote.

I'm not doing that. I really can't tell. Who are these people who want to ‘come take your suburban house away’, and how do they attempt to do so?

You seem to be referring to specific people in the Bay Area. I'm not in the Bay Area, and I don't really know the politics there as it relates to real estate. So, who specifically wants this, and what are they doing?



How does your opinion on what is to be ‘deplored’, or not, outweigh my opinion?

So this seems like a non sequitor…?

If you believe I, or anyone else, is making false pretenses one way or the other, on any subject, then list out the arguments for the case directly.


I am not accusing you of false pretenses. I am asking for the specifics of what you are talking about. You won't answer (or at least, so far you haven't).

I will ask one more time: What, specifically, are you talking about?
