my 2015 experience with SFBARF centered around them campaigning for my then-supe, Julie "Evictions Are Exaggerated" Christensen, and me going to work for the dude who tried to fight the Ellis eviction of an HIV-positive vet near me. wasn't as familiar with their other work then

Well
@MattHaneySF is trying to update the jobs-housing linkage fee to solve this problem. So maybe support that? As it is, I believe SF and Oakland do most of the housing construction in the Bay, so I’m not sure why you’d focus on SF instead of the entire two counties south.3 replies 0 retweets 4 likes
doesn't solve that problem if SF literally just passed a plan to have 4 times as many jobs as housing units in his district.
