Between multi-hour car/plane commutes, the Tent City Shuffle, the worst property crime rates in the US, and streets unsafe for cyclists + pedestrians, SF is a human welfare & environmental *disaster.* It's a city that plays at an identity it absolutely does not deserve to claim.

The whole region needs to wake up; the idea of the SFBA as a green, diverse, or immigrant-friendly area is a social aesthetic — often a frustratingly self-righteous one — and not a defensible frame on present reality. It's all too often delusional rather than aspirational.

The housing crisis remains largely siloed, but it's *central* to individual and community health and welfare. It's *central* to controlling environmental impact. It's *central* to workable immigration. It's a systemic disease with severe symptoms across our most important values

The fact that this happens is not a failure of SF Bay Area policies, it's a failure to price externalities. In fact, I'd argue that anecdotes like these suggest the problem is less with the Bay and more with California and America in general.

0/ I have lived in MV for all the 6 yrs I haven been in the Bay Area. Almost every year I consider moving to SF (given so much time I spend there for various reasons) and every year I reject the plan. SF keeps getting creative with reasons after another to push people away.

So he flies in and out every day? Also, 'greenwashing' might be more widely recognized a term.

Yes, though greenwashing suggests intentionally superficial actions. It's possible for someone to engage in theatrical behaviour while thinking they're being serious. (That's my feeling on the terms, anyway.)
