    Wow, TIL. I’ll hold onto that fun fact. I was there against my preferences to go to grad school, which ironically has a fairly good critical class consciousness.

        Yup. In recent years the wealthy immigrant families turned it blue, though. My comment is more that UCI houses a surprising number of marxists (which I guess anything more than one is surprising, lol).

          I was really glad to hear about them getting rent control in Santa Ana, wish I’d gotten in on that lol.

          My landlord at the time was talking about it in a panic when it passed, as if barbarians were at the gates 😂

            Santa Ana is kind of interesting, they’re one of the few places trying to let undocumented people vote in local elections, too. Unfortunatly I don’t know if they were able to, especially now.
