She’s lame but it would be useful to have examples other than an Assemblywoman representing southern San Diego.

i didn’t realize lorena gonzalez was a dictator capable of passing AB5 without tremendous legislative support and the signature of gavin newsom

Fair. But to reduce the bill to hatred of tech by others is disingenuous.

I’m curious what Mayor Breed would want from tech industry now. In 2019 she wanted tech companies to contribute to affordable housing and think about where additional employees will live. With rents plummeting, and remote work increasing, what’s the ask?

if the government of san francisco gave a fuck about homelessness or where tech employees were going to live they would LET US BUILD HOUSING. also, tech doesn't need to beg to live somewhere. almost every other city in the country wants the economic benefit our industry brings.

Hard agree. The fact business is held to account for difficulty of building more housing is insanity.

I’d like to understand why our problems haven’t been solved with rents are down 30%, hundreds (thousands?) of vacant apartments, and tech workers fleeing. Policy makers would have us believe those were the root causes of SF’s problems.

Folks were certainly struggling here prior to covid. A sale in rent prices doesn't matter much if you don't have 2 months runway to pay the deposit. Also, so many commercial properties (not offices) have been vacant for years. No work, No people.
