Australia literally closed borders for years due to COVID (with bugger all disease internally). Immigration was effectively halted. Australia had the perfect opportunity to do exactly what you are saying... And did not.
The average increase in house purchase price, in all states, between 2020 and 2022 (i.e. while immigration pauses were effectively in place) immediately discredits your talking points.
Stop conflating immigration with the problem, which was, is, and remains, housing speculation.
Semantics.Your point - that immigration excerbates existing underlying problems - specifically ignores the underlying problem, which in OPs post, describes that housing is a locked / controlled asset (due to it being a speculative asset) , which has itself created an artificial shortage.
Maybe spend less time confusing the issue, and take up a pitchfork against speculative home ownership.
With that attitude, writ large across different minorites (with competing values), we are condemned to suffer under the boot.
It is interesting to note that you have projected certain perspectives (e.g. abandoning trans) into my position. These words are not found, nor implied, in anything I've stated.
I will continue to rail against authoritarianism and fascism. You may blame me as much as you wish, and I hope you find some measure of fulfillment.
Trump is as likely to change on the issue as Newsom is.
Hahahahaha k
Sorry, but fuck you and your fascist collaboration. And specifically, fuck your lack of morals. The amorality of liberals like yourself is precisely why fascists are advancing. You're a fascist enabler and collaborator.
Don't be sorry, you have an opinion. It's a stupid fucking opinion, but it's one nonetheless.
Fascists are advancing because of vote abstainers and the consistency of those on the right. I'll continue to vote left, just as I'll continue to abuse those on the right. If you're not voting Democrat in the US system, you're enabling right. Pretty cut and dried.
You refuse to acknowledge my underlying point, that although Newsom (Democrat party by extension) is a threat, Trump and the GOP will / actively ARE displacing minorities (including trans).
But go on, continue attacking the less-worse outcome. Hope that helps when ICE comes knocking.

I agree! I so agree. But, and here's the rub, I'll vote for him even if he doesn't change his position. Because he is not the existential threat posed by the GOP.
Fuck off with that virtue signalling. The point above remains valid. Vote out the one that WANTS TO ERADICATE MARGINALISED PEOPLE then focus on improving the less-bad candidate.
Wow what another hot take. Still garbage.
