“Hilton also isn't perfect, which is to say: he's British. But on policies, he is in favor of human civilization. He would cap building permits / government fees on new homes at $50,000, he is promising to gut CEQA (state environmental law that hamstrings building), and he says he'll lower taxes for those making under $150,000 a year. He's tough on crime, great on housing … and sane on immigration.”
