The ‘Single Family or Bust’ People Will Probably Leave Southern California, No Matter What Land Use Policy We Now Follow

  • California
September 15, 2016August 27, 2018
Author: Howard Ahmanson

A lot of people, especially families with children, would prefer a single-family home.  Of course they would, and I’m not going to find fault with that lifestyle as long as it’s not forced on everyone.  Perhaps they should be required […]

The Religious Right Failed to See What Was Coming

  • Culture
August 29, 2016May 8, 2020
Author: Howard Ahmanson

We have repeated Francis Schaeffer’s warning about ‘personal peace and affluence’ often at Blue Kennel, but it’s time to do it again.  He declared, back about 1970, that the ‘Silent Majority’, a term Nixon had begun to use, was composed […]
