we need a shorthand/heuristic for "thoughts and prayers but for coddled rich NIMBYs who may have to slow their Teslas in a school zone and whose nannies may have a chance to live in the same zip code"
Which oppressed group are you more concerned about?
Yellow: Palo Alto residents who will see a tall building
Blue: Atherton residents dealing with speed bump cause loud sounds

Pretty sus when this person talks about cars driven in Silicon Valley and doesn’t mention Tesla, Rivian, or Porsche.

the Thai-Cambodian conflict is at least partially about control of the scam/gambling/prostitution compounds along the border.

Even accepting his premise that the real shortage is in larger units (I think @ebwhamilton.bsky.social has made a strong case in the past that this is not true), this analysis just seems incorrect. Many of the policies in the first paragraph *would* promote family-sized units!

Hands down least “masculine” person I met covering tech. One lunch I had with him in Palo Alto (he was urging me to run for mayor and wanted to give me $) I recall thinking what an incredibly whiny boy (I think I told someone at the time: what a limp dick) and could not get away fast enough.

If you ever want to start a surprisingly vicious war on Silicon Valley Suburban NextDoor, post about how people should stop using their fireplaces in December for health reasons.
Someone in my neighborhood has started lighting a fire every night, and for some reason this year the smoke is collecting right in my front walk, where the laundry room has vents into the open air (thanks California home builders of the 1970s). We have to run an IQ air to keep my wife from asthma
