It's honestly the most American thing ever to take a city that's not even that dense like the SF Bay Area, and tell everyone "it's full, go to some bumfuck town that's dying and live there".

Everyone who does this 150% has a refugees welcome and immigrants are safe here sign too
Its the same stupid politics at the national level, IDGAF. When Trump and Right-Wingers say "America is full" despite the nation clearly having little population density compared to Europe, it's so stupid.

I dont care if motivations are different, results are the same.
Its even more American when the dumbasses saying this aren't even born and raised in the areas they're proclaiming is full.
I've honestly had enough of it. I dont care anymore. Unless you're going to remove yourself, don't tell a growing population they should just live elsewhere.

I cant stand this country at times. I hate this mentality so much, its so pervasive in everything.
This is already happening in the Bay Area BTW. Our immigrant population isn't growing in the urban centers anymore, now it's in Solano County, San Joaquin County and Eastern Contra Costa.
Idiot: Why dont they just take the jobs and put them in some shitty part of the country where nobody wants to live thats suffering from climate change, dilapidation, poor air quality?

Me: For the same reason that you moved here, and if not you, your parents, or your ancestors.
And then some people actually leave for somewhere else in the country, only to meet people there saying the same. stupid. shit.

It's almost like your nativism isn't unique. Its just something you do because you're an idiot American who is reactionary and Conservative at heart.
Stop asking why people are moving to [insert neighborhood, city, county, state] and instead ask "So how can we accommodate that?"

We need World War 2 level undertaking of immediate housing construction, now. Preferably with equity and better living conditions this time.
