am I criticizing the decision or pointing out some later hypocritical positioning on her part? They had the information they had at the time, which is the US economy was in its sharpest recession since potentially the 1930s, and they made a decision based on that information.

with all due respect, you’re constantly suggesting that we can’t be too demanding of for-profit developers because of pension liabilities; I think the nuance-about-incentives is a bit selective

I think boiling Jane Kim’s entire legislative record down to the Twitter tax break because she did a neat video with Barry Jenkins god knows 8 years ago is an enormous oversimplification

rethreading this and saying it more nicely: I’m to the left of every politician in SF, but things like free CCSF, free childcare, Our City Our Home, actually mean something materially significant to this city’s working class, and we all know who supported it and who didn’t. so

you said you disagreed with Jane voting for the Mid-market tax exemption but you understand why she did it. I disagreed w/ London on C but I understand why she did it.

I happen to think one of those things is a more unforgivable decision by several orders of magnitude, but sure

caveating that I supported C, but if you were only on the job for only a few weeks and you became responsible for the long-term employment of 30,000+ people working for the city, the city's long-term solvency and depts start going around you to get addl $300M/yr for themselves...

there was a lengthy stakeholder process around the creation of this ballot measure, and it was reported from sources close to her that she was upset Benioff supported it, because if she had known he did she would have maybe changed her mind because he’s a Big Important Dude

ppl can’t kvetch about how subsidized housing costs $600K/unit and speechify about building more housing and then complain “how am I gonna do my job with $350 million extra dollars a year”

again, I don't know why you're yelling at me for this, because I support that level of spending. But like I said, she was on the job for a few weeks and she wasn't leading that stakeholder process and she has a different job & incentives than advocates/dept people do.

executive branch is *always* more fiscally conservative than legislative/advocacy, because they have to make sure the ship is still running when the economy tanks.
