Engles saw workers in 19th century Manchester paying 25 percent of their income towards rent and was so aghast he invented communism.
25 percent of income going towards rent doesn’t even qualify as being rent-burdened in America today.

you think about scrooge and he basically gave cratchit reasonably stable long term employment and paid him more or less enough to raise a family on a single income and he's still a fucking villain. today's billionaires are like 10x worse

San Franciscans deserve housing security, not displacement. The Mayor’s Family Zoning Plan still leaves more than 20,000 rent-controlled homes vulnerable to demolition. Thank you to Supervisors Fielder, Chan, Chen, and Walton for standing with tenants and working families.

Conservative Chronicle editors strike again, burying the lede. In 2018, we taxed rich corporations to fund homeless services. SF voters approved that by over 60%. That's what the Chron and billionaires want to end. Corporations tied it up in court but lost, so money is now being spent.
S.F. has doubled spending on nonprofits since 2019. Is City Hall getting its money’s worth?
San Francisco now spends $1.6 billion on nonprofits annually — 10.2% of the total city budget. That’s compared with $809 million in 2019, or 6.6% of the budget at the time.

Do you support building waterfront housing at the Marina District Safeway site?
A developer has submitted plans for a 25-story apartment complex to replace the Safeway — a proposal that’s already drawing criticism from residents and city officials.

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
