    "Santa Monica has high class building and race restrictions which preclude from the residential district the undesirable classes."

    Counter programming: 2/3rds of founders via 's industry survey think big tech (Facebook, Google) should *not* be broken up. This squares with my experience. (cc )

    “The American story is one of making sure that each generation is better off than the last. I don’t want my generation to be the first not to enjoy that. But I also think older generations don’t want to be the ones to cause that.” -Pete Buttigieg

    Impressively grinch: Guy with a chateau on Nantucket successfully torpedoed a housing project for seasonal workers of the golf course next door who currently sleep in basements and in lean-tos for want of housing.

    Could be worse. BART maintenance requires engineers scrounging eBay for out of production replacement parts and running a machine shop to hand build what they can't find.

    This article is an amazing time-capsule of the San Francisco land-use fight in the 80s when the slow growth movement was coming to power. Prop M passed the next year, which halted most development in the city.

    The most powerful political leader in SF, , has a decades-long pattern of berating and bullying female leaders while drunk at work. These articles are a decade apart. How could SF possibly the "home of the resistance"?

    A great example of this is Tesla, America's first car company to go public in over 50 years. They are years, maybe decades ahead of the car industry on product design, powertrains, electronics, and software. But they somehow suck at assembling a car:

    I somehow missed this: Apparently, NIMBYism could explain the entirety of Picketty's wealth inequality thesis. That means if you care about growing inequality in the US, California NIMBYs are essentially enemy #1. This fight is going to get even bigger.

    This is exactly what we're seeing California wide. Making home construction illegal is a huge driver of accelerating inequality.

    I think we'll have to agree to disagree here Joe. There are endless reporting and research that shows that making home construction illegal and hollows out the middle class and displaces working-class Americans.

    There is *plenty* of evidence Joe. Building market rate housing alone is not a solution to all affordable housing problems, but it is a huge help. *Not* building market-rate housing = hollowing out your middle class (see Bay Area).

    By far, the calmest voice on this recording is the pilot, Tammie Jo Shults, who is landing a 737 with an engine that just exploded with 149 passengers on board. Before Southwest, she flew F-18s for the Navy.

    Our second bill, SB-827, was just voted down in its first committee. Unfortunately, our state leaders are not yet serious about solving the California Housing Crisis. But, we're back at the table bright and early tomorrow morning. This is a 10-20 year fight.
