    1. The bastards with money are moving to low tax low crime nice weather states like FL. There’s a reason my humble 500K house purchased less than 3 years ago in SWFL is now worth 1.5M.

      1. Remember “The Law of 72” also works with inflation –

        72 divided by rate of inflation = time for the value of your money to halve

        Seems the “current guess real rate of inflation” is around 30%

      2. West coast Canada experienced something similar. If you are not a doctor or a lawyer or a leftist government worker, you cannot afford to live on he west coast of Canada nor the beautiful Vancouver Island.

        That is the best weather area in the country. But of course it’s jam-packed with vapid liberals who vote for the demise of western modern culture where we can heat our homes in winter and enjoy long summers, and be certain of our gender.

        Oh well, I suppose everything has to end at some point. My run started in 1943 and it’s been a great ride. The shit is hitting the fan right as I near my departure. Good timing or what? My Vancouver Island home went from 200,000 in 1995 and I sold it last year for 1,025,000. Then I fled that nut house and moved to a more conservative area of BC.

    1. Allan,
      Did you really think the Democrats weren’t going to go green?

      Sometimes you get what you voted for!

    2. The goal is the forced reduction of human population and the accompanying enslavement of everyone, except the WEF elitists and their corporate allies. All kinds of pseudo-virtuous causes are enlisted to steer an unwitting population towards this end. In this case, eliminating fossil fuels of all types will reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, thus saving the planet from the unsubstantiated specter of global anthroprogenic climate change. In order to do this, Hochul will self righteously, and without any evidence, ban the use of natural gas, just like her Michigan counterpart, the wretched Gretchen Whitmer, wants to shut down the line 5 pipeline which supplies 75% of all homes in Michigan with propane (the main fuel for home heating), Joe Biden killed the XL pipeline and Justin Trudeau is preventing any pipelines from being constructed. There is no plan for what comes after that event in any of these cases.

      So if you eliminate natural gas heating and ban wood stoves (another coming attraction, like they did in Montreal), how do you heat your home? Electricity – not enough available grid infrastructure to pick up the slack and the Gaia worshippers won’t let it happen (with mandated electric vehicles adding to the pile in the next 10 years). Wood that we could, and we are back to CO2. Dung like in the third world – not enough local sources for demand.

      So what happens when you can’t heat your home in Ontario? You die from deprivation – you freeze to death. And that is the stated goal all along – Agenda 21, Agenda 2030 and the Club of Rome based upon the misguided works of Thomas Malthus. War on the human race has been publicly declared, the ideological political pincers are being elected and deployed and it is being done in the name of saving the planet so it is hiding its grisly agenda under the cloak of virtue. If you don’t believe me, read about the Great Reset, Building Back Better, any of the buzz phrases disguising evil.

      1. All what you write about stems from one evil entity that only has mankinds doom etched firmly across its forehead.
        The destruction of Gods Works is it’s main purpose.

  3. The left’s goal is to ban everything and anything that has made modern life better. Heat in the winter, A/C in the summer, plentiful food and water, and a way to enjoy them, and finally… their denial that a commonly understood truth and a shared sense of decency exists in the West.

    1. Just had the plumber in yesterday, to replace the gas driven hot water heater, by another gas driven hot water heater.
      The old one expired after 24 years of service, well outliving its stated 12 year warranty. I had the setting at 50% of BTUs as I didn’t need boiled tea water from the faucet. Also reduces metal fatigue on the boiler. I reduced the gallons from 60 down to 50 as the household is down to 4 now, so I’ll save a couple bucks there until the jackasses in government increases the carbon tax again.
      I’m keeping my gas stove as well, and my wood fireplace.

      I’m maintaining my carbon foot print, as I can’t change my shoe size without surgery.
      Moreover, I don’t feel like my family’s comfort should be reduced to a mere carbon chain calculations.

      I’m thankful I don’t live in Governor HotAir’s anti-carbon family jurisdiction.

  7. SDAers can correct me. Doesn’t a gas stove provide an emergency backup heat, if one’s electric heating goes of during an outage? We have a back-up wood stove insert at the house; a propane stove and heating stove at our cabin on the Miramichi. Banning glass stoves leaves people vulnerable to winter cold.

    I get the “let the Eastern bastards freeze!” remark. But I am worried about electric outages doing the same thing.

    2. Not enough heat to make much of a difference.
      Furnace went out in my 1 bedroom apt a few years ago when it was -27.
      All four stove burners on high didn’t help at all.
      Electric toaster oven made a decent handwarmer though.

    3. When I lost power for a few days after Hurricane Sandy, gas helped not as a direct heating source but in that my gas water heater still worked. It was easy to survive no electricity/heat in cool temperatures with the ability to take a hot shower once a day.

    4. A couple of times my barbecue came to the rescue when the power failed.
      Ban barbecues!!!!! (say the woke)

  8. When will someone, anyone tell these commies that they do not have the authority to do what they keep getting away with? Someone, anyone, start saying f*** no to these morons.

  9. Oh why not. It’s just the natural progression of things. She was talking about her green bona fides while campaigning so why is everyone acting surprised that the same state that elected Hillary Clinton to the Senate wants to eff up the lives of people who live in it?? It’s what they do.

    Y’know there’s a reason Ron DeSantis always refers to Florida as “…the free state of Florida”. He sees what’s going on elsewhere.

  10. For many people, natural gas is the cheapest, cleanest energy source that is dependently available.

    Of course it must be stopped, because the goal isn’t cleaner energy it is getting everyone under the boot.

    1. The goal is to leave fossil fuels in the ground to be used later for the few Overlords left after most of the useless eaters have departed this world.

  11. Many years ago new houses and converted ones went electric only, replacing gas units with electric ones here in Ontario. Fairly quickly the cost of electricity soared and these homes and businesses quickly returned to gas energy. Another lefty idea that failed.

    In a power shutdown that happened at Christmas 2013 due to trees being blown down here in Toronto and taking the wires with them we lost power for 5 days but still had gas heating, fireplace, hot water etc. and using just candles kept the house warm enough to avoid having our pipes freeze as it was bitter cold.

  12. We have over 500 years of known natural gas reserves right under our feet here in the Eastern US, and these morons want to ignore it and use other less efficient and idiotic energy schemes.

    It’s infuriating, and people are hoodwinked by it and keep voting for it.

  13. Aside from “normal” outages, has the Governor established a real grid capacity increase for the consequences of such climate salvation measures or are California, Texas, UK, German,…style brown-outs and rationing just part of the salvation.

  15. For the Hudson Valley and NYC, this move is almost mandatory on account of previous decisions to block upgrades and replacements to the pipelines supplying natural-gas to the region. I’m not entirely sure that Hochul is aware that the state extends past that region.
    There has been large investment in upgrades to high-voltage transmission lines for electrical power from upstate and from Canada.
    New England lacks both the gas capacity and the grid-links, and has been merrily de-commissioning the remaining coal and oil plants that had been supplying peaking power.
