@TaupeAvenger El Cerrito also handily rejecting a new library parcel tax.

BART sales tax increase in trouble in November…?

@mnolangray He seems to derive all his opinions from scorn/contempt

The US population doubled from 76 million in 1900 to 151 million in 1950. And yet, housing was abundant and affordable in 1950 in the US. Why?

The fact that the Bay Area--a place Lucas has called home and created thousands of jobs in for over 50 years now--put so many conditions on him building them a new museum that he finally threw up his hands and left really doesn't reflect well on the region.

@johnamonaco @shagbark_hick Same feeling growing up in upstate ny.

And I thought every christian was catholic and genuinely didn’t learn there were other denominations of Christianity until I moved to the South. And that’s where I learned that some people had real problems with Catholics!

@JeffersonEagley Hah! To order a 'kid size' to avoid the 'short stack's' wrath? A wise retreat, warrior!

Think of how expensive it is to live in California.

Now imagine how bad it would be if they cut taxes, and people had even more money to spend on buying homes.

tbh i don’t think American elites and leaders today actually understand what made America successful in the first place

they’ll say the free market and entrepreneurship, which are important

but those don’t exist ex nihilo

they emerge from a well governed society

I'm sorry, if you had pitched "Donald Trump will get Milli Vanilli to play in honor of America's 250th birthday" as a joke on Weekend Update they would have laughed you out of the room.

Dennis Rodman would go party in Vegas, take enough cocaine to kill a bear, drink copious amounts of alcohol and them fly back to an nba finals game and lock up Karl Malone.

This guy drinks a glass of wine and can't podcast for 3 days

@Noahpinion It’s sad that Silicon Valley seemed to spend a decade on blockchain and crypto which was totally useless outside of crime facilitation

@LaBeck81 @TommyBeer Buddy that is an amazing experience!

[Kim-Mai Cutler @kimmaicutler]

I don’t understand this mindset. I’m third generation Bay Area.

Every day, I wake up and think the Bay Area is so great.

How can we build more houses here? How can families have more kids? How can more people move here from all over America and the world to build more cool, world-changing shit?

@mattyglesias There were buyers/buying groups ready to take the A’s off John Fisher’s hands but the MLB and Giants simply wanted the A’s somewhere else

Tech elite are not really invested in Oakland. They're all in SF and on the peninsula. Joe Lacob is that guy for the Warriors (and now Valkyries).

Oakland has white collar workers for tech companies and a few CEOs but it's just not like that.

It's amusing that the GenZ frontier lab/startup talent are complaining about housing but the most important thing that could happen for immediately relieving housing pressure in SF is getting signatures for the November ballot initiative to not let BART fail.

[Josh Barro @jbarro]

this is another point in favor of electing reliable Tracy Flick types to office instead of interesting weirdos

@johnarnold Term limits in CA at the state level only makes “pressure from party leadership, donors, activists and influencers” worse for outcomes

[Dan Amira @DanAmira]

It's actually a very bad sign that this entire thing is now being framed as a controversy about whether money should go to J6ers who assaulted police. The entire fund is bad and corrupt! Carving out violent J6ers does not make the $1.8 billion slush fund okay!

@hammer_utc @JonahDispatch We would be fine but maybe a touch less rich
