i was happy to vote for Scott. I don’t agree with him on a number of issues that are important to me, but on the most salient issues facing Californians he has been the most effective legislator we have had in the decade+ I have lived here.

[Ian Connolly @IanConnolly]

i for one am shocked that the affably popular, tall (!!), hardworking legislator who has spent decades building a constituency that values his work smoked the carpetbagger who even pissed off the local organizers he’s aligned with politically

@JorgeO yeah everyone thought we were nuts and rates would make prices plummet — and yet here we are, two years later, and it’s already up at least 25% 🤷‍♂️

[Ian Connolly @IanConnolly]

buying a house in san francisco in 2024 despite rates being at like 6.7% was my greatest ever financial move apparently

@pitdesi counter-example within England: the Duchy of Lancaster is older but more modest. (1351 at the earliest, but certainly in its modern iteration as an independent property of the crown by the end of the wars of the roses c. ~1460).

Every time I spend an hour talking to a group of young engineering students about what they’re excited to study and work on, it creates a tectonic vibe shift in my mood.

Smart, motivated 20 year olds with access to mentorship and tools feel completely unstoppable.

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

The Board of Supervisors decision to block 10 new homes in Nob Hill based on a frivolous CEQA argument raises serious doubts about the viability of SF’s housing element.

SF’s housing element — if it’s effectively fake due to CEQA obstruction — is subject to decertification.
