Holy bulgogi!

I did NOT expect such a surge of followers. If you're just following me for the first time:

I skeet about housing, tech and identity. My biggest pet peeves are modern day segregation and opportunity hoarding along lines of race and class. Esp here in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Wow theocracy. What a pioneering concept! A real trailblazer.

Spending your time talking to someone who wants to relitigate slavery is definitely a choice you can make

For those who don't know #SB79 is one meaningful step away from a society that forces everyone into a car even if they can't or don't want to drive.

I hope you all like pro environmental ripple effects for centuries to come.

Jordan Grimes @cafedujord.bsky.social · 1d

Important to remember that not only did we pass #SB79, the biggest transit-oriented upzoning bill ever, we also passed a clean CEQA exemption for new multifamily infill housing.

This is, bar none, the biggest year in state action on housing policy reform in California history. Not even close.

SB f****ing 79!!!!

Senator Scott Wiener @scottwiener.bsky.social · 1d

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

Kick away the ladder in the name of teaching people personal responsibly. "Real change" as if they hadn't tried this tactic this decades.

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you'd agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing "dna" with "bits" doesn't make it ok

i'm completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron

if you're writing a sentence that sounds like eugenics but you go "oh that's fine to say because it's not a real person" (whatever that means) you may want to consider what made you okay with saying that

Every week is a #weekwithoutdriving for my husband & me, after we went car-free more then 5 years ago. It’s really not that hard in #SanFrancisco with MUNI, BART, our e-bikes & walking. And it’s good for us AND planet so I’m happy to see others trying it!

I will never own a garage. I'd rather bathe in acid than clean out these suburban nightmares.

Candidate's tag line is "protect the small town feel" but as any Seattlite, knows Mercer Island's "small town" feel is just a commodity reserved exclusively for people with "big city" jobs.

Davey Kim @dvyk.bsky.social · 13d

Visiting Mercer Island WA and boy do I hope this classic NIMBY archetype doesn't get elected.

I'm trying to understand your standard of "better" or "worse" we might be advocating for the same thing.

But so far, I only get an amorphous category of housing that I'm not sure even exists.

Is there a project you think exemplifies authentic rent stabilized housing?
