ok, when you get the $2.6 trillion to socialize all residential real estate from SF down through San Jose and somehow voters are OK with having their life savings expropriated by the state -- since they seem fine with building addl housing at no financial cost to them -- call me.

you’re an incredibly intelligent person, but your entire MO online has been poo-poohing even incrementalist calls for change? if Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle on Twitter you’d tell him the pension of guys getting decapitated by meat grinders was dependent on blade production

I support different policies at different govt levels. Federal policy needs to be more progressive, which is why I'd side with AOC/Saikat etc. But city policy is *very* different because there is inherent leakiness to both public service provision & taxation at the city level.

also usually the socialist housing suggestion at solely the municipal level is usually a bad faith argument. If you say only non-market housing can be built going forward in SF, that actually perversely protects financial returns on all existing homes.

I went to a meeting of people you hate, and said that we need to rezone to have low-income senior housing, said that our subsidized funding is contingent upon MR feeouts which means we’re tied to cyclical MR booms and we must tax property for funding.

State & East Bay stuff. I can't really do neighborhood SF stuff anymore. I have too many family obligations. I am officially joining the sandwich generation with sandwich responsibilities supporting both seniors and babies.

East Bay is way more pragmatic and functional than SF, which is .... just long gone on all sides.

great, please note this is the first time I’m asking you a question that you all seem to need to ask every time I tweet about literally everything

I think we just show up on each other's tweets a lot bc the newsfeed algorithm changed and prioritizes engagement between accounts that already have engagement.
