@doomloopdisp Third world. These people are so detached from reality.

Oh no, won't somebody think of the couples paying $14,000 in rent.

[The San Francisco Standard @sfstandard]

Sabah and Goksal Oney loved their Marina home. When they texted their landlords they were expecting a baby and wanted to stay, the owners raised the rent from $14,000 to $24,000.

@BrandonHarami @MylesPynchon Ooo ooo ooo. I have a screencap for this.

[Crow T. Potkin @CrowTPotkin]

@BrandonHarami @MylesPynchon Mods have always dominated. The idea that the city was ever run by progressives is a weaponized myth.

@EricFeurer @stoolpresidente See this pop in my feed and now I'm haunted again by that horrific Labubu. 😭💀

Quote from today’s Supreme Court decision in US v. Hemani:

“Affording the government broad power to designate any group as dangerous and thereby disqualify its members from having a gun' would risk allowing it to 'quickly swallow' the Second Amendment.”

@barakgila @uhshanti Less billionaires in California? Why are you threatening me with my actual dream?

[Crow T. Potkin @CrowTPotkin]

@uhshanti But Max Dubler has explicitly told me in past discussions he supports Vienna's system.

Max wouldn't lie, would he?
/joking, obviously. He likes like an old rug.

@barakgila @Scott_Wiener He's almost entirely funded by the same tech money that funds the Yimby movement in SF, wtf are you talking about.

@scarlettactual @Jasbuggy Woof.

@fishmoding @frogs4girls Don't blame San Francisco itself for the tech assholes who colonized it. 😭

[Crow T. Potkin @CrowTPotkin]

@RecallFife Jesus fucking Christ Seneca, go back to Ohio already.

[Crow T. Potkin @CrowTPotkin]

@BrandonHarami If every progressive politician has to face a recall because wealthy landlords and techbros don't like them, then we don't have much of a democracy left.

[Crow T. Potkin @CrowTPotkin]

@littlefoxnev This is not the case in Wyoming statute.

San Francisco is already one of the most urbanized, dense, and internationally recognized cities in the United States.

You don't look for Hong Kong in San Francisco. That's disrespectful.

The assumption that SF needs to "urbanize itself" shows you don't understand this beautiful city.

San Francisco's character, neighborhoods, and quality of life were built over generations by the people who live here. SF was thriving before the pandemic and it will be back, better than ever.

A city is more than a housing production target. It's more than just tech ppl here.

It's also schools, parks, transit, culture, small businesses, historic neighborhoods, and communities that have invested decades into making the city desirable in the first place.

History is an important part of San Francisco's economy. It's a world famous city that has thrived on tourism for generations. Acknowledge that, respect it, and don't dismiss or criticize it without first understanding what makes San Francisco special.

Too often, the debate assumes there is only one correct model of urbanism. More density everywhere, more development everywhere, and fewer local considerations.

That kind of ignorance will destroy San Francisco.

Cities are not interchangeable products.

The goal shouldn't be to turn every neighborhood into the same copy and paste version of urban living.

If your preferred vision is a different type of city, there is plenty of land throughout California where new communities can be built around that vision.

The question is why some people insist that existing cities and established neighborhoods must conform to a single model, regardless of what current residents want.

Greed has a lot to do with the decisions.

Before lamenting that San Francisco doesn't want to "urbanize itself" enough, ask a different question.

Have you listened to the people who already live here? Have you considered why they value the city as it is? Do you respect the needs of existing residents, or are you simply frustrated that they don't share your preferences?

Good urban planning starts with understanding communities, not dismissing them.

Start by listening with respect.

@KillianGabe @MidwestHedgie The law in Wyoming is unambiguous that the threat is as protected as the use.
