"...since San Francisco has added little housing since the pandemic began, the city seems to be exemplifying a common warning of housing advocates: when demand comes back, so do the prices."

I'm shocked. This is my shocked face: 🤦🏽‍♂️

S.F. rent surge is outpacing every big U.S. city. Here’s what’s driving the increase

San Francisco rentals are leasing faster and pricing higher than they have at any point since the pandemic.

Our rents are spiking because it turns out people leaving during COVID was not a durable strategy for long-term affordability. Who knew? If we want our rents to stay flat (or, dare to dream, fall), we need to build more homes www.sfchronicle.com/realestate/a...

Tired: we must build more housing to defeat fascism

Wired: we must repeal Prop 13 to defeat fascism

Trump 2.0 has really exposed how brittle and broken the West Coast states' tax systems are. WA, OR, and CA all have a 1% property tax cap. WA has a sales tax but no income tax; OR has an income tax but no sales tax. It is not possible to effectively resist Trump without fixing these tax systems.

The news has sent counties throughout California into a panic. The state is bracing to lose hundreds of millions of dollars for permanent housing, which is the one thing experts agree on as the most effective way to solve homelessness. https://cal.news/4nBKuZI

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

There are some good breweries that don’t have that vibe at all (Private Press in Santa Cruz for example) but they are too few and far between unfortunately :(

Look, I appreciate this. TV needs more of this. Let’s have fun again. Seriously things are so bad in the industry and everywhere. Let’s all turn on stuff at night together and go “that was insane” and then surprise there are 20 more episodes and the characters don’t remember being in orbit.

Community’s perfect fake clip show episode wouldn’t exist without the work of many long seasons of television giving us real clip shows to make fun of

Jane Coaston @janecoaston.bsky.social · 1d

Bring back 22 episode season orders where there’s at least one clip episode for no reason

Not long ago -- in my lifetime -- all trans people faced unspeakable violence, including state-sponsored violence, for simply existing

And self-appointed gatekeepers made it as tough as possible for a person to transition.

Anyone who wants to bring back the gatekeeping also wants the violence back
