How many market rate units does the #yimby bro crowd think SF needs to create in order to magically make housing affordable for janitors and teachers? The truth is we need to set aside or convert space for housing that is affordable from the get go. We don’t have time to wait on… Show more

No 82k new homes won’t instantly make SF affordable but it’s a specific goal that if met will significantly impact prices moving forward

"Magically make housing more affordable" Ah yes, the crazy woo theory known as supply & demand, only believed by people who frequent crystal shops and fortune tellers.

Seeing apartments in Chinatown right now Me: “Broker’s fee is 15% right?” Landlord: “10% for you because you’re Asian. Also there are four applications ahead of you but it’s yours if you want it because you remind me of my oldest son.” God I love racism

The era of “tier 1 city has falling population & you can live in Manhattan on a part time salary” is over A bunch of ppl mistook an anomalous period of urban life that lasted abt 40 yrs for the norm. A lot of NIMBYism is about arguing it’s unfair cities aren’t like that anymore

It is very unlikely that any American city will ever be affordable like it was in the 70s-90s ever again because that era of urban housing affordability without development was a consequence of white flight and suburban sprawl.

BREAKING: June 2023 has blown away all prior records for the month of June, coming in at a staggering 0.16C above the prior record set in 2019. It was around 1.46C above the typical temperatures we saw in June in the preindustrial era (1850-1899).

The weirdest thing about these posts is the insistence that public school should teach stuff that is, by definition, ephemeral. There is no "taxes" skill you can learn at 15 and apply at 30 (that isn't just "literacy").

I was in Manteca for lunch yesterday and it was 107F. Today in San Francisco it is 57F. It's completely mad that the state allows the wealthy temperate coast to export housing demand to the boiling interior.

Lol I love how blue checks are so unwilling to admit that inflation is coming down that not only do they believe the official CPI data is being manipulated by Joe Biden but also the private sector alternative data is being manipulated by Joe Biden.

It’s funny. Tech people and gold people love to talk about how the government manipulates CPI data, and that some private company with modern techniques could do a better job characterizing the real numbers. And then a company does it and says inflation is just over 2% twitter.com/truflation/sta…

I admire Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and can empathize with the fact that the same personality traits that made her a ceiling breaker also made it hard for her to retire, but her actions were objectively horrendous. In the end she annihilated her own legacy.

A bunch of reactionaries with agrarian aesthetic preferences moved into hollowed-out urban areas in the 1970s and seized control of the local organs of political control and now we all pay half our income in rent

one last thing about the insane DeSantis ad: it shows the hard limits of the nihilistic, always vaguely ironic, “haha you can’t take a joke” mindset of the extremely online when it comes to actual political practice.

It's difficult to overstate the damage this ad is causing Ron DeSantis right now. His team is frantically working the phones as @GOP groups like LCR condemn DeSantis as a raging homophobe. What a massive, inexplicable misfire. twitter.com/DeSantisWarRoo…

Every year, North American communities spend, on average, per person: $50 on sidewalks and crosswalks $180 on public transit subsidies $1,000 on public roads and traffic services More than $2,000 per capita on government-mandated parking facilities

Justice Clarence Thomas is 75. Justice Alito is 73. They are getting older and will retire soon. If Biden is re-elected and they retire, he gets to select their successors meaning a liberal Supreme Court. That’s a good reason to vote for Biden in 2024.

I really need San Franciscans to understand that LA has exactly the same quality of public transit that SF has. That quality is mediocrity; you can generally get to major destinations near you slowly, and if you’re traveling more than 5 miles, set aside 1.5 hours
