@GDCAndrew @mnolangray Where could we find out more about what is cooking for number 10?

@DrhcMF To be fair, the machine was always gonna gaurentee a corporate candidate.

I don’t get what the anti-bicycle people want. Drive instead? And add to traffic / parking woes?

[Luke Jaywalker @LukeJaywalker28]

@wholemars @spencerpratt Thanks for sharing. LA mayoral race is a fascinating one! What’s the Whole Mars Catalog take on the governor race tho?!

[Luke Jaywalker @LukeJaywalker28]

And California cities should be making this a priority.

@smo841603557184 @LukeJaywalker28 @YIMBYLAND There is only an oversupply once prices are below the cost to build

@TomSteyer Must. Increase. Shareholder. Value. 🇺🇸🫡 #beccera #californiansbedamned 🤣

@ironchefbuu @Kazanjy @griddr @YIMBYLAND There are more to cities than their downtowns. Many in California have historic streetcar suburbs that are prime real estate, and massively underdeveloped by modern and even more traditional standards.

@spacehand2002 @Kazanjy @griddr @YIMBYLAND Really curious to see how measure A pans out.

[Luke Jaywalker @LukeJaywalker28]

@daniel_w_owens @Kazanjy @YIMBYLAND Faster permitting was a piece of it. The regulation and bureaucracy will drive away even the most altruistic and best intentioned of developers.

[Luke Jaywalker @LukeJaywalker28]

They leaned into state laws, provided their own program “complete communities,” and despite the mayor being unpopular, he passed an executive order to get all affordable housing permitted within 30 days.

If a project meets the criteria, no further community review and project is approved.

[Luke Jaywalker @LukeJaywalker28]

@Kazanjy @griddr @YIMBYLAND Yeah a mix, but quite a few 5 over 1s as well. Opinions about those aside, their purpose is being served.

[Luke Jaywalker @LukeJaywalker28]

@griddr @Kazanjy @YIMBYLAND SF has the luxury, and the money, just not the willpower. Imagine if those 3 dozen people were just allowed to share a lot? Something they legally cannot do now.

[Luke Jaywalker @LukeJaywalker28]

@Kazanjy @griddr @YIMBYLAND A large chunk of the new development is infill. You see cranes all over the city proper.

[Luke Jaywalker @LukeJaywalker28]

@PorcDalmatian @cayimby Is it fair to say, if it were not for Covid, that demand never would have went down?

The answer is likely yes. And the lack of demand causes what to happen? Please re-read the last sentence of your first paragraph. You perfectly explained how supply and demand work.

[Luke Jaywalker @LukeJaywalker28]

@PorcDalmatian @cayimby Supply and demand still driving force there. Why did demand go down before?

[Luke Jaywalker @LukeJaywalker28]

@Kazanjy @YIMBYLAND Political will and the city.

[Luke Jaywalker @LukeJaywalker28]

@PorcDalmatian @cayimby When is the last time you saw rent in a major metro go down in the last few decades? It’s baby steps.
