    Here is the research that proves that YIMBYs are right. Also stop saying that the point of new housing is so it filters in 30 years. The point of it is that it creates vacancies NOW in the existing buildings that people move Out of in order to move Into the new building.

    Non-profit affordable housing is effectively illegal in almost 80% of San Francisco. If I’m elected, I will introduce legislation to legalize deeply affordable housing everywhere in San Francisco.

    Woah. I’m only a few sentences in but the thesis seems to be “I was a YIMBY when I thought their goal was to build housing [somewhere else] but I recently found out they want to build housing in my single family neighborhood.” 😂

    This was me, and these weren’t even the comments I made that hurt Dean the most. When I said the Bay Area’s population should be 40 million, he looked like he had been punched in the dick.

    “Without any previous notice to the public or input from the neighborhood, they announced the building was going up to eight stories, … People were shocked and asked how this new plan came about. The answer was that it came from the mayor’s office.” 😂 sfrichmondreview.com/2023/02/08/eig…

    Here is a clear articulation of the ideological opposition to building housing. The person that wrote this lives and works in Berkeley and considers himself an environmentalist.

    I met a Republican that is running for public office on the peninsula today. After talking about why the free market is good and regulation is bad he complained that SB 50 was more regulation, from the state, on the cities. So, there you go.
