We have been freeloading off the eras where we were allowed to build things easily and it is all catching up to us

[sam @sam_d_1995]

NYC literally just approved more homes *today* than San Francisco built all of last year lmao

[Hunter📈🌈📊 @StatisticUrban]

We should place California in a conservatorship.

Craziest thing about the Scott Wiener saga is people going “oh well he only called it a genocide recently, after being pressured, he’s not a true believer”

Do you KNOW how to take a political W??!

“We successfully persuaded a politician to our side! Now let’s kill him” HELLO

[Noah Riffe @NoahRiffe]

You losers called the city you’re showing a burned down, empty, shithole.

You don’t get to claim ANY part of Seattle’s shine.

Republicans: We are the pro-life party

Zohran just cited Minneapolis, Austin, and Auckland as cities that lowered housing costs via upzoning

certified ball knowledge, Auckland is a deep YIMBY cut

[Mike Bird @Birdyword]

The American business community was, even by the standards of amoral profit-oriented people, astoundingly quickly to accept and adopt the Banana Republic logic that the US government is now a vindictive force that you can't criticise openly

Before I lived here I used to think CA was a progressive state

Now I know that ideas like “build enough housing to keep prices remotely affordable” and “old rich people should pay property taxes” are considered too wildly fringe for nearly every pol in the state

Retail theft is the Platonically ideal form of contemporary activism, because it’s completely self-serving, justified by vaguely anti-capitalist post-hoc moralism, and does absolutely nothing to make the world a better place

New hospital proposed on Geary; NIMBY neighbor prefers to optimize for street trees over expanded capacity to save lives.

[Cory in San Francisco @coryfromphilly]

San Francisco is not a NIMBY city. Reason? Around 3 square blocks of vacant land were allowed to be developed at densities lower than Houston suburbs back in 2015.

[Max Dubler 🏳️‍🌈 @maxdubler]

Commercial rent control is a terrible idea. Businesses are not human beings and they do not have a right to housing. If your business cannot afford rent, you should close up shop and go work for someone who is better at capitalism.

[sam @sam_d_1995]

turns out that electing a ton of NIMBYs and building no housing doesn’t actually make your city affordable, no matter how many times they declare that “housing is a human right”

[YIMBYLAND @YIMBYLAND]

This entire video is a policy failure.

[James Medlock @jdcmedlock]

When you're so used to reflexively punching left that you don't check to see if the candidate is trying to solve the issue you're complaining about (Nithya has been leading the charge to fix this)

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

@BigFish3000 Nice try. I took the Amtrak home.

We tried to pay TSA almost a dozen times and Republicans said no every time. Then the GOP Speaker closed session last night and sent everyone home.

Please Google what party is in charge of Congress right now. The answer may surprise you!

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

Everything that's great about California is baked in, and everything that sucks about California is fixable. It's just one of those spots on Earth where a "main character" civilization is inevitable.
