L.A. Councilwoman Brags About Affordable Housing Only to Prove She Doesn't Understand Basic Math (WATCH)

This is one of the biggest self-owns we've seen in a while.

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Imelda Padilla just proved why her city is a disaster, and why Democrats run every place they run into the ground.

They don't understand basic math. But they do understand virtue signaling.

WATCH:

Legit hilarious video of LA City Councilwoman Imelda Padilla claiming her contribution to housing affordability in LA was to convince a developer to reduce a 6-story housing unit to 3-stories while adding EV chargers.

Socialism denies supply and demand, because inheritently milk and eggs come from the grocery store

Bingo.

We need competent local leadership

Replacing all of our local leaders with people above replacement level would solve at least half of our country’s major problems https://t.co/PxRRyxEzkG

Picking random people from the phone book would solve a lot of our problems.

Progressive economics.

Less of something makes it cheaper. 🥴 https://t.co/0jeKAIm4id

If you legalize everything, crime goes down, after all.

Finally watched this, it's as wild as anyone says. These people are as retarded as they're malevolent. https://t.co/cK2IEFW7HN
