My opinion?

Scott Wiener is the only sensible choice for San Francisco’s Congressional race in November.

I don’t agree with him on everything—probably about 70% of his positions. But that’s WAY better than agreeing with essentially none of Connie Chan’s.

Wiener is a policy wonk and a GSD Democrat: he gets shit done. He is smart, effective and has a long record of turning ideas into actual legislation. And enough with the BS sexual-predator and “groomer” tropes. Debate his policies, but stop recycling demonstrably false anti-gay smears.

Chan, by contrast, strikes me as a GND Democrat: gets nothing done. After years representing District 1, she has remarkably little to show for it. She repeatedly opposed the housing, public-safety and government-reform efforts that have helped San Francisco begin recovering. Her tired ideological worldview helped drive the city into the ditch.

Pelosi’s endorsement doesn’t impress me. It looks like old-fashioned machine politics: back Chan now while cultivating labor support for her daughter’s future ambitions. That makes the endorsement somewhat meaningless.

Look at the people and organizations most loudly supporting Chan and ask yourself: Did they help drive San Francisco into the ditch, or did they help pull it back out?

The answer isn’t difficult to see.

Wiener isn’t perfect, but he is serious, knowledgeable and effective. I’ll take a GSD Democrat over a GND Democrat any day of the week.

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

My legislation to close two loopholes used to stop new housing — especially affordable housing — just received final approval from the Senate and is on its way to the Governor.

SB 677 closes two loopholes used to obstruct/delay new housing:

1. Frivolous subdivision mapping appeals for projects that have already received their permits. These appeals have been used to delay affordable housing in San Francisco, in the Mission and Bernal Heights (articles about these projects attached below and in the second threaded tweet). They serve no purpose other than delay, and SB 677 puts a stop to these appeals.

2. Abuse of required city council hearings on tax exempt affordable housing bonds: Certain kinds of federal affordable housing bonds — essential for financing of these projects — require a city council hearing. While this is a pro forma procedural step, a city council can simply not hold the hearing and effectively delay or even kill the project. SB 677 empowers the California Treasurer to set up an alternative process to ensure this financing can occur.

Neither one of these changes in the law is sexy or headline grabbing. But they close loopholes that are undermining our ability to build the housing we so desperately need. https://t.co/PoQrwms6tT

There is a category of tech guy who is so brain-wormed that they will insist that no AI safety incidents are real, that it’s all a conspiracy to shut down open-source or promote lab IPOs or whatever, and it’s very important to understand that these people have been wrong about everything.
