San Francisco born 🌉 Fathering two boys, context engineering, and writing political poetry to inspire my neighbors.

@leslibless Keep it simple: paper ballots & Real IDs.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@ArmandDoma Or, just wanting to keep towers in downtown, not next to our homes?

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@Staroxvia Right wing NIMBYs are more honest: “please no more traffic and crime; that harms us. We don’t like being harmed!”

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@WatsonLadd I’m all about preserving our way of life, not displacing anyone.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

Most YIMBYs in San Francisco are transplants.

That's why they don't care about what locals want; they share no connection with us. They have no family here. Nobody they love lives here.

And since they've already uprooted themselves, they're unattached. So they might as well go where land is cheap, and they can build to their heart's desire!

[SirCrumpler, Ⓜ️©️ @Sircrumpler]

This guy really think you can just uproot and go anywhere with zero consequences

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@BayAreaNewLibs They probably didn’t have to leave, they likely wanted a family house with a backyard which is more accessible in other places.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@bil70435 Depends on how much they earn.

But they’re always welcomed home.

@0chraceus I’m native.

Ohlone colonized it, then my people liberated it and made it a great place to live!

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@sicknamebruhx Yet, people happily choose to live there!

California: Looking for affordable housing?

Check out these 4+ bedroom homes on large lots, all for under 400k.

Homes this large in San Francisco's foggy Sunset would cost millions.

But in Fresno, you'd get 300 days of sunshine a year and live close to the mountains!

Contrary to what YIMBYs tell you, nobody has to pay a lot for housing. It's a choice!

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@sanbrunamo Not what I said. I said people without roots here have less to lose by f’ing it up, because they can just move.

People like me have real skin in the game.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@CoffeehouseT No need to commute. Most tech jobs can be done from home.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@415_Admixture @RealSwoletariat 😆

@Gregster56 @dustingardiner @jrivanob Find me somebody who identifies as a right-winger who does not despise both Newsom and Wiener.

I've never met one!

In fact, right-wingers in SF are voting for Connie. They consider her the lesser of two evils.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@dwbudd @BayAreaNewLibs Yup!

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@Theonea05466744 I agree; I LOVE that I can walk to buy food, and my kids can take the bus to school.

But not having to drive is a luxury not everyone enjoys.

If you're a plumber, you're not taking all your tools on your bike or the bus.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

Vital Professions that rely on driving: Plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, appliance repair technicians, gardeners, house cleaners, delivery people, first responders, garbage collection, and countless others.

So if you're one of these YIMBY Urbanist Abundance bros trying to do away with roads, you're forgetting that even if you don't drive, your entire cushy lifestyle relies on people who drive.

Without these working-class drivers, your life would totally suck!

[Giacomo Volpe 🌹🤝🌐 @_giacomo_volpe_]

This makes sense

She is indisputably conservative on entrenching the NIMBYism and car dependency that is most important to SF Republicans

True of many self described “progs” in CA unfortunately

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@SingleTax I'm more about preserving quality of life, not destroying it. No intention of "destroying" anything; destruction is YIMBY business.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@clearSNR Agreed.

And if you have no family here, you can more easily uproot if SF is not to your liking.

And moving is a lot less stressful than trying to change SF to your liking, given that progress will be very slow.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@lst156 Yes, the lack of fare enforcement makes it hard for it to sustain itself.

Mass surveillance neither helps nor hurts unless it helps catch violent people.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@SingleTax Which means, for the majority, they can leave if they don't like it without much consequence. Those who have roots here have skin in the game, much more to lose if it's ruined.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@aiconsoomer I'm guessing here...but we probably have more cartel action in SF than in Fresno.

[Boom 💥 @LoveCodeTrade]

@gefahrlichx My understanding is that @GiffLasta is saying, "Be the man YOU want to be."

He's saying, don't do it for her; do it for you. And being more attractive is a side effect of that.
