@rohindhar I mean it was pretty apparent SFPD was phoning it in after Chesa election. I wish I could not do my job and still get paid bc I don't like who the company hired.
@leighbeadon@mccauley_rorke@BigMeanInternet I don't understand why you are trying to push me away from supporting PH.
I want more housing in the SFBA. I'll support any initiative that is adding to housing without displacing anyone. Good luck to whatever cause you are advocating for.
@leighbeadon@mccauley_rorke@BigMeanInternet Sure but there is no current funding apparatus to create 300 public housing units here. So it's either 100/300 or none.
From my POV you are letting perfect be the enemy of good. I'm happy 300 people will soon be able to live in my district. 100 of them low income.
@leighbeadon@mccauley_rorke@BigMeanInternet I don't think it's an impossibly high standard to ask how we are going to pay the workers to build the homes.

This is a great example of something I support. 300 new homes 100 of which will be BMR. No one displaced. Seems like an upzoning success?
@leighbeadon@mccauley_rorke@BigMeanInternet Re: zoning - I think the gov't restricting density in a transit/job rich region like SF is furthering the high cost of living.
I'm pro more people being able to live in the SFBA. Whatever tools we can use to make that happen I'm in support of.
@leighbeadon@mccauley_rorke@BigMeanInternet I live in SF so I think about the housing here. I'm also an accountant so numbers do matter to me.
I want PH in my community. I want it to have more support which is why I ask Q's. If the numbers make sense I can make a stronger argument in support of them to my fellow voters
@leighbeadon@mccauley_rorke@BigMeanInternet I mean I support public housing and YIMBY/upzoning. I think we need both in the SFBA. The region should be 10M+ people.
I just personally find it odd/discouraging that advocates of PH and YIMBY fight so much while the status quo persists.
@mccauley_rorke@BigMeanInternet I live in the SFBA and public housing here is pretty unpopular. Trying to expand it is met with majority resistance from voters. How do you suggest we proceed?
@warriorsworld Used to live a few blocks away. Tough location. Feel like 2-3 people have tried to open a spot there and closed quick. Hopefully Dray name recognition can carry them to success.
@jrivanob I can't speak for other neighborhoods but in D3 the conservative/car culture folks and progressives are pretty friendly and align on a lot of issues locally.
This is why housing is so expensive. Not Blackrock, landlord greed, or avocado toast...just your neighbors & parents who bought a house, then used local government regulations to make it impossible to build more
The result: Their housing prices go up. Young people locked out
