LYRICS:
How could this family afford this facility?
Have you seen the cost of real estate? It's insanity!
A kitchen? Are you kidding me?
Who let them paint that door?
Did someone bribe a commissioner?
The loudest peeps that you've ever seen
And compliance costs balloon
But if you stop supply as demand rises
It's no wonder very soon
Everywhere you look, there's a tarp
A sheet to hold on to
Everywhere you look, there's a space
Look, some condos could go there
Everywhere you look
Changing our town's character is what I bemoan
There's a guy taking a crap outside a Cold Stone
And red tape
Everywhere you look

LOL at aunt Becky bribing the commissioner
Tom Hewitt I assume you’re an admissions officer for USC
Seems legit. She is a felon.
Lol, I forgot about that. That joke has layers.
I don't think she used _money_ if you catch my drift...
I did not make that connection until I saw this comment. Thank you.
Only Remy can make an affordable housing crisis into a catchy song
It's not an "affordable housing crisis." It's a "Government getting in the way of market requirements" crisis.
@@colin1818 You think that people wouldn't sell for as much as they could get away with if the government wasn't in the way?
If so you're an idiot.
@@AngelusNielson - clearly somebody has never taken even a basic economics course. Lol. Yes, people will try to get top dollar. But that’s why we have competition.
If you think gov’t keeps prices low when they get involved then I’ll just simply point to their role in financing college education and ask how that worked out.
@@colin1818 And that competition hasn't driven up the price of housing in San Franciso?
what I"m saying is that it's not the government that's the issue, it's basic supply and demand.
@@AngelusNielson - You are correct that the issue is related to supply. More specifically though, the issue is that supply has been artificially restricted by government.
This is not hard. Government is creating this problem. We see the same problems in many blue states with heavy government intervention. That’s not just a coincidence. It’s causative.
Changing the character of San Francisco is all they've done. Whatever they're trying to preserve died a long time ago.
Buff Awesome yes, preventing building residences means the more affluent will displace everyone else - artists, cops, teachers, butchers, whatever. Trying to stop change accelerates it.
Persevere some petrified turds 💩
Brooke King That is a foolish statement. Ma and Pa in a single family home are not displacing anyone. Just because rich young techies want to live in the same neighborhood does not give them the right to destroy it.
Save Marinwood, I agree Ma and Pa in a single-family residence don’t displace anyone and never stated anything to the contrary.
What I did was merely state an obvious economic effect: If housing supply is artificially restricted, only people with connections will build or redevelop and only the wealthy will be able to pay the high rents or high purchase prices that necessarily result from restricted supply in a desirable place.
I know people who grew up in SF and cannot afford to live there while their parents remain in SF. I also know people who grew up in SF and necessarily moved out of SF when they left home and who’s parents passed. Instead of moving back from where they’ve made their and their children’s lives, they rent out their parent’s homes for what are amazing, sky-high rents because they can because of the distorted market. Ma and Pa didn’t displace anyone, but unreasonable policies mean Ma and Pa’s children have a very strong incentive to rent to the only people who can afford the space: Rich techies.
Believe me, “rich techies” love SF or they would not live there while working on the Peninsula or in the South Bay. Unfortunately, current policies mean rich techies displace some of San Francisco’s wonderful, diverse cultural flavors.
Your statement added no information to refute my statement that you called foolish without any supporting facts or logic. Instead you said it was foolish and asserted that rich techies destroy neighborhoods. If you meant rich techies decrease a neighborhood’s diversity and flavor, I say look to city hall and SF voters for why that happens, for why SF is more than twice the size, has less than half the residents, and has far, far less than the daytime population of heavily regulated Manhattan, yet has more expensive housing. I don’t want SF to be Manhattan, and it never will be, but the ridiculous level of regulations distort the market even more than in Manhattan - quite a feat - consequently favoring the affluent and disfavoring the bulk of the population.
@@savemarinwood6678 Fuck off. Nobody is entitled to any outcome of property they do not own.
Remy: The Weird Al Yankovic of Libertarianism.
That's a great way to put it!
@@benjaminthvedt7923 Libertarians be angry about government regulations stopping the building of affordable houses. Governments are artificially reducing the supply of housing, which causes housing prices to be higher, and more homelessness.
@@samgeer3583 Apartment rental companies pay contractors to build the apartments.
Tenants pay rent, which will eventually cover the building cost of the aparments, after which the company will go with profit.
The rent would go down if the supply of apartments would drastically increase.
A lower rent would mean that it would take longer for the rental companies to go into the green after their initial investment.
As such, the rental companies are incentivised to keep the construction of new apartments lower then the demand.
The goverments role in this is mainly to make sure that the rental companies and the building contractors aren't cutting corners in order to profit at the expense of the future tenant.
This is not something artifical, regulations are there to uphold a safe standard of living. If you take away the regulations it won't take long before the city becomes known for its unsafe housing. Which in turn may cause people to move to another city or not move there in the first place. This can also have similar effects on companies.
If anything, a way to solve this would be for more goverment involvment, by subsidising part of the construction costs. This would make rental companies agree to lower their renting prices, as their initial investment will be much smaller.
And Magic the Gathering for some reason. That was how I found him
Remy cannot make a bad song
I insta liked 2 seconds in when I realised it was a Remy song..
And it turned out to be great. I loped, several times. Remy needs more love. If he had the opposite viewpoints he'd have his own late night show by now
Thats not an opinon. Thats a fact.
@@Seaby41 Agreed, his talent is on par with any of them, but he sticks to his freedom-loving views.
Imagine what the Manhattan skyline would look like today if people campaigned against “changing the character of the neighborhood” 100 years ago.
Beautiful
@@benjaminthvedt7923 mid-late 90s.
@@benjaminthvedt7923 it’s a crap hole now
@@gregthebaritone and for the ultra rich with no exception
If you want to experience the ridiculousness of SF regulations, try getting a permit to replace a street facing window on a home that is 50+ years old. The city requires wood clad aluminum windows to preserve the character. Those things are 3x the cost of even an aluminum frame window!
Thats crazy. How can your neighbors be allowed to take a vote that says unless you can afford pretty windows, you aren't allowed to stay warm (or cold?) And reduce you energy bills by purchasing new efficient window..... I bet they claim to care about global warming while they make energy efficient windows unaffordable.... SMH
@Friedrich No it is not. It creates an unnecessary hindrance to fixing broken windows or updating to double or triple panes to improve energy efficiency. People would rather paint over existing window sills than go through the expense and hassles. This is why so many homes here are still using the original single pane counterweight windows at the front while the side and back windows are brand new. The rest of us simply forgo the permit and replace the front facing windows ourselves discretely. Nobody gives a shit. That means the law is superfluous and bureaucratic while serving no purpose.
Friedrich more like: “keeping cities old”
I remember the shade kills kids thing, when they blocked an apartment building because at one part of the day it would shade a part of the school. So dumb. The funniest part was they had a big ole tree right in front of the school
That doesn't sound "dumb" at all. Ask somebody who has an interior-facing apartment. Permanently blocking off light from a place where people have to spend the day is kind of a big deal.
@@23wtb And that's how you get tens of thousands of homeless and people shitting in the streets.
@@ChrisPacia LOL Those people are not one affordable-housing unit away from being homeowners. These are mentally unwell burnouts who've flocked to San Fran for the gimmes and the criminally permissive environment. Stopping a land developer from enshrouding schoolchildren in perpetual twilight is not in any way the cause of San Franciscan homelessness.
But it wasn’t perpetual twilight. It was a part of the day.
Regardless doesn’t matter, the tax money lost wouldn’t be getting paid regardless now days.
@@DirtNastyCivilian The way shadows work is, they fall upon different areas as the Sun moves across the sky over time. When buildings (such as schools) are planned, part of the planning involves taking into account how sunlight falls upon the building throughout the day. It's quite likely just very unacceptable to put classrooms in shadow just so another low-income highrise can be erected. And more to the point, suggesting that a contest like this is in any way a contributing factor to what's driving homeless is, frankly, stupid as hell.
The city of San Clemente spent $5000 per month per homeless person to provide them with a....camp site! Big Government sucks
That sly grin at Aunt Becky.
LOL
She bribed the planning commission
Jake Thomas That’s the look you give when you think you’ve gotten away with bribing administrators to let your kids into college
0:23 ... and yeah, good eye LOL.
I wonder whatever happened to the j_ws, who took that money... and the money? 🤔
@@finnmacky7106 Antisemitism is not welcome
I believe Danny bought that house around when DJ was born so that would’ve been late 70s which is just before Housing became insane in San Francisco and Danny was a successful TV personality so he definitely Made millions throughout his career in broadcasting That’s how he was able to afford that house
That's some analysis, there!
Danny needled help with bills and childcare after his wife died. Hence why Uncle Jessie ( an exterminator in the beginning) and his couch surfing comic buddy Joey moved in. The my 3 dads vibe without San Fran gay undertones.
The fact that you are not a viral sensation is frustrating.
"There's a guy takin' a crap right outside a Cold Stone." - Stay classy, San Fran.
"There's a guy taking a crap outisde a Coldstone." Comedy gold.
They couldn't make this video and acknowledge San Fran's legions of homeless people (Thanks to the rising housing prices) without making a nod to the problem of them all crapping in streets and sidewalks.
Leftists: "Shadows kill kids!"
Judges: S E E M S L E G I T
🤣
Remy, you’re hilarious. I grew up in SF and watching Full House. Everything mentioned here is practically spot on, except there is no Cold Stone in San Francisco proper. (Wouldn’t be surprised if the regs and taxes were too onerous)
Plenty of supply being held off the market. No housing shortage, just a greed surplus. 5 empty homes for 1 homeless.
Not in San Francisco.
I mean that builder man DEFINITELY wasn't wearing a hi-vis jacket!
Honestly I say good, let San Francisco suffer. It is the only way some people learn. Anyone with sense should leave that heck hole.
I say yes and no. (Edit: about people "with sense leaving that heckhole") They're ruining the rest of America by moving on to nicer states.
Yea don’t let them ruin my beautiful state of Texas
@@humbughumbughumbug Exactly. Whatever stupid mentality is holding back the state with the best resources and climate in the country has infected their brains, and now they're moving on from their failing state and bringing that mentality with them. My stupid theory is that the weather there is too nice, and they've lost touch with reality and prudence as a result. A good hard freeze or heat wave that makes living hard for a few weeks knocks some sense into people, is my unscientific theory. It makes you realize you're not invincible. San Francisco and New York both vote Democrat, but you don't see New York routinely fail to invest in vital infrastructure and say no to progress because of sentimentality. Keeping your pretty Victorian houses isn't worth having thousands of homeless people who have to steal from your garbage cans just to survive. Something tells me tent cities kill the character of a place more than bland but functional modern apartment buildings.
@@TheSpecialJ11 it's not as prevalent across NY but it's interesting because there's houses in Central NY that were built in the early 1800s and the few people that come here fawn over "muh architecture" meanwhile those houses are the most difficult or expensive to repair or modernize properly. The historical society gets involved AFTER you buy a house and you'll find out that you're fined for painting with the wrong shade of brown.
HOWEVER the historical society has its place because it's the only thing defending businesses and home owners from losing their property to Cuomo as he executed Eminent Domain all over Upstate NY.
@@TheSpecialJ11 Yeah. The main problem is how spoiled and self- entitled they are, and a deep love of virtue- signaling with everything they do.
B R I L L I A N T, FUNNY, CRUEL, REAL, TRUTH!!
The best parody I seen in years.
New Remy the bestest Christmas present ever!
"did someone bribe the commissioner" 😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Zooming in on Laurie when he said “did someone bribe a commissioner” 😂
The show aired from 1987 to 1995. So back then, with a "full house" (hence the name of the TV show, the combined incomes of all the adults-in their roles as "jobs" within their "roles played as actors") could have at least afforded the rent back then! Nevertheless, it's a great song!
Naw. You missed an episode or two. The cousins thing was just what they told the kids.
Danny Tanner had a coke addiction. ua-cam.com/video/LEberTUvrsE/v-deo.html
It was the 80s and he was on tv and what not. Just habbit til his wife's death then he went off the rails tooting a ball a day. That's why he was always cleaning shit that didn't need to be cleaned.
Being out his mind 24/7 naturally affected his ability to focus freed all inhibitions.
Often saying random or inappropriate statements on air. In order to suppress suspicions
And protect his public image. He filed to operate a sober living home. Which to the general public can be presented as a self sacrificing charitable effort and moral character, but in reality is more often a manner in which to legally operate a flop house charging premium rent to people on whatever conditional terms you wish and can legally evict them with just 24 hours notice just by saying they were using or not meeting conditional terms. Danny was so high though he never bothered to worry about the sobriety of his tenets. Jesse was hooked on heroin and his parents paid his rent to fell good about themselves and get him out their hair. He ended up getting clean on his on to marry that fine ass Becky. Sadly it turned out he was actually quite lame sober and started packing on a gut quick like. Joey was just an all round junky and little bit of a boozer. Though he was very fond of mdma, mushrooms , and from time to time Lsd or mesclun, but smoked Weed habitually. He and danny had known each other as kids, but joey got way into drugs in college and dropped out, way out. His parents tried committing him and eventually disowned him. The state diagnosed him as mentally disabled and paid him a monthly welfare payment. Danny let him slide from time to time
As long as he changed diapers and dealt with those bratty kids so they didn't blow Danny's high or he was just to f'd up till deal with them. After a few years Danny's tolerance got so high and likely blown all his saratonian receptors that he wasn't even able to get off anymore so chilled back to reality. But was full blown addicted and had to use daily to function. Often would still ocd spaz out with a mop or vacuums, but long gone were the days cleaning the whole house while cheezing or getting a hard on when michelle dropped cookie crumbs. His jaded demeanor eventually soured his on air appeal. Jesse family's money stopped after he moved out. Joey had held a resentment Against danny the whole time and totally got off on the fact danny was facing financial troubles and joey had actually become financially secure. Having pretty much raised michelle and stephanie. He offered to support them and assume guardianship on condition danny got out of their lives completely till he was sober and clean. Took a couple years but danny finaly hit his bottom and started going to meetings and working steps program. After a while the girls forgave him enough to let him around their kids from time to time.
As someone who lives in LA, I think most homeless people I run into are that by choice; the tent folk aren’t the same victims as high rent
tropicAces LA is a unique case in that I agree that most of the people who come there live out of their car to “make it” in the entertainment industry. Doesn’t change the fact that Cali does have a problem with mentally ill and drug addicted chronically homeless persons.
Christian Allinson Fischer haha I came out here to work in film (I do) but other states literally will put their homeless on trains and busses and dump in Cali
They did a survey of homeless people here in Seattle, only 5% said they were on the streets from not being able to afford rent, and/or couldn't find cheap enough rent.... only 5%
@Sparka Many are so mentally ill they don't like being inside anywhere.
One of your best videos yet!
Was waiting for another Remy hit!
Didn't imagine SF downgrading this low.
The housing issues in California are one of the most shocking things this country allows. How people don't have an ounce of common sense about it bewilders me.
I feel your pain San Francisco... Here in Australia we have endless baron land the stretches the entire continent, we are the most unpopulated continent on earth... Meanwhile I make about 60K a year, have no debts and have a pretty large amount saved up - I couldn't afford to buy a 1 bedroom crack house in a neighborhood that is unsafe to walk down the street during the daylight.
"There's a guy taking a crap, right outside of Cold Stone!" 😂
Another home run for Remy...
Brilliant (and sad) as always Remy
Also works for Seattle
and Portland
San Francisco.
Los Angeles.
Sacramento.
The problem is everywhere in California. Except for the Republican counties. But we don't talk about those. Not since the fires.
Trygve Plaustrum Not since the Fire Nation attacked?
"Poop-a-roni: On San Fransisco's Streets!"
San Francisco needs to develop the closed ports. The issue is that some people think that new development only creates more space for the rich. It’s stupid because having more supply means the demand will decrease.
Now you know why so many people had to live there.
I love Remy
I’m not a huge fan of Reason but I want more Remy!!!!!
I unironically wonder how Bob Saget's character was able to afford his house in SF.
Growing up watching these type of family shows, I can't help but feel disappointed about how things in real life really are.
I actually believed as a kid, that if you have a job and work hard, anyone can afford a house like that! lol
If you avoid places like SF you can!
Yea whit the money one uses in a house in ca you can buy a mansion in Houston
Ur kids need to start their own sitcom show on UA-cam, and do it in the SF house you bought. Once they get as many views as Full Haus did, then you can afford the mortgage payments. Hopefully, the bank will let you use the show as proof of income
Yep, if you want to solve the price of housing allow builders to build. Instead people want banana (build absolutely nothing anywhere near anything).
I can't stop watching this!
Living in a cold climate has its perks.
Thank God I live in rural Arkansas 350 a month for 2 bedroom house
Damn. But what is your income?
@Frank Arrietta lol. It comes with drawbacks.
Every liberal will assume that you're ignorant and inbred. Coastal elites will refer to you as a deplorable.
And good luck getting a decent internet speed.
Paladin_BR People have survived for over 100,000 years without internet. I think we can be okay
@@Dan16673 I make approximately 14 an hour delivering pizza, and doing door dash with my back the way it is I can't do much else, just got lucky with finding a landlord that believes in providing affordable rent to people that are disabled without the government gun to his head ( he refuses all section 8/ HUD vouchers)
sean o'leary I paid $400 a month for my very on single wide with 20 acres I could hunt on in Va.
Remy nailed it
Remy really has it down to make you feel depressed while listening to a happy song.
I love Remy!
In San Diego as part of the high prices and low supply of housing we have people living on boats that are choking up harbors.
Seasteaders.
I loved the "shadows kill kids" shout out. I hope that guy won his lawsuit.
Outside a Cold Stone
This is really well done!
Anti-growth restrictions do raise housing prices, but that doesn't cause "homelessness". Those people aren't San Franciscans priced out of the market; they've flocked to SF from all over the country because the weather's nicer in SF and they know they can do whatever they want in SF and get away with it.
In a way, San Fran has preserved its heritage. It was founded on finding nuggets...
Now you can still find nuggets...
Just a different kind 💩
Love how it's more important that you maintain your neighborhood's character then the homeless in the street.
I liked the juxtaposition of the next line, a guy crapping on the street. Character worth preserving.
Crappin' outside the Cold Stone......classic!
The Funny Because it's true part of the Internet is the best part for when you're needing a good laugh.
I don't live there anymore.
Remy is an incomparable genius
I went to San Fransisco to visit some schools and I've never seen so many homeless people
Aunt Becky is hot.
RIP Bob Saget. I hope he saw this and enjoyed it.
In the series premiere of the fuller house reboot there was a joke about the SF housing market. Danny says that rather than selling the house he’s gonna pass it down to DJ and uncle Jesse says “are you sure about that? Have you seen the home prices in this area?”
U still can't have his home
Who would have thought that dramatically increasing the demand (with foreigners no less) would increase prices?! My mind is boggled I don't know about you guys
I bow at the altar of Remy.
This was pure gold! A++++ 😂
I would love go to San Francisco if it was not for the violent crime, drug craze people dropping their drug needles, and the homeless that dedicate all over the place.... nah I am not going there. I am doing just fine here in the FREE State of Nevada.
California is going to come to you.
1:08, as a fascist I resent this. HOAs, including all condos will be strictly prohibited in Fascist America.
Remy, Honestly You need to keep this content up lol, Its made me laugh so hard and replay so much, I agree with Watchdealer11 "Remy cannot make a bad song." Keep it up Remy!!!!(Bitcoin Billionaire) I find funny...
Top ten!
Did someone bribe a commissioner? That was a nasty line by you.
longanddeadly straight savage
Imagine having your HOA come down on you for the color of your front door with a park full of tents across the street.

Look at Jerry Seinfeld that guy just does some stand-up comedy here and there and can afford his apartment with no stress I work 9-6 but I'm not struggling doing all right but I can still complain though LOL
Just got unnotified.
I used to think San Francisco used to be a cool looking place.
The "Lon Commute" byline lol
Maybe not 6mil...but that house was def north of 2mil in the 90s...
Yeah but on the show he bought it when his oldest daughter was a baby. Also he was a tv personality i think so he was loaded
Its not like anyone pays full price up front either.
As per usual, brilliant!
the dad was a morning tv show host. He probably made enough money.
Most underrated cultural figure on social media.
0:27 damn Lori was so gorgeous. Not so wise though.
No amount of housing supply would have met demand in San Francisco with the rate at which the city was growing. Ironically, that was caused by artificially low taxes for tech companies. Cute song tho.
Um, yeah, except that space is finite and demand vastly outstrips the physical carrying capacity. People act like "if you would just build enough housing..." as if space in SF were infinite. Except that it is not and it is physically impossible to build enough capacity in SF to satisfy demand.
No there actually is, its that the people who create these "restrictions" is the problem. There are literally vacant buildings that can easily house a multitude of people, but "restrictions" don't allow for any changes. The very reason housing is so expensive is because there is a LACK of housing.
Wow this is absolutely amazing! Haha
Slaps.
This might explain why so many residents are leaving California and moving here to the Midwest.
By 2030 I'm willing to bet that most of California will be a full-blown dystopian state.
