My letter of resignation.
It's literally in Rockridge. SF-centric Bay Area media always generalize Oakland but always make sure to emphasize whether its Rockridge or not. Except when its a new development, then Rockridge is just "Oakland" again.

the Assembly just passed #SB828 by @Scott_Wiener sponsored by the @BayAreaCouncil @SVLeadershipGrp the RHNA process is broken. This bill will make it function and hold cities accountable for their failure to build homes! TY supporters and @anniefryman and @RacheleSophia !
I have wondered where this comes from for so long...

🎉 AB 2923 passed! 🎉 More homes will be coming to BART stations if @JerryBrownGov signs the bill! Thank you to everyone who wrote or called their state Senator.
🚨🚨🚨 The League of Cities is directing local electeds to call their state Senator in opposition to AB 2923, the bill to permit homes on BART-owned land. Please call in support! cayimby.org/call/
Mayor @LondonBreed endorsed @SonjaTrauss and @johnson_d6 for District 6 Supervisor! Congrats!!!
NICE
WAT?
This feels like calling some crazy old legacy function everyone forgot about, but is still has a description buried in the docs somewhere.
By far my favorite spinoff group
The notion that students, notably low income, should be barred from UC Berkeley enrollment to protect the views of multi-million dollar property owners is anti-education. Berkeley has been a college town since Lacey got here. Everyone should have the opportunity to an education.

This x100. Cities should also repeal rules that make it difficult to provide housing affordable to low-income people. Chopping up large units into smaller ones was a big source of low-income housing historically that's impossible to do in many places today.

Middle-income renters zoned out of neighborhoods? Until you're literally homeless or generating renewable energy, there is no sympathy currentaffairs.org/2021/01/the-on…
@TribTowerViews @SFyimby Like most YIMBYs, I totally agree. Instead of funding this by taxing new housing construction, we should fund it with general taxes on property owners.
Only in San Francisco could leftists interpret advocacy for direct funding of affordable housing—rather than impact fees or inclusionary zoning—as neoliberalism.
🎉 AB 2923 passed! 🎉 More homes will be coming to BART stations if @JerryBrownGov signs the bill! Thank you to everyone who wrote or called their state Senator.

I love this weird game leftist nimbys play where they throw shade at yimbys blatantly as a whole, then get mad that yimbys like, respond or something. Them: All Yimbys are Skyscraper Nazis. Yimbys: You're wrong Them: They always flood me when I publicly talk shit about them!
#SB828, a bill to modernize #RHNA and produce more homes, by @Scott_Wiener and sponsored by the @BayAreaCouncil cleared a major hurdle today in Appropriations. ONWARDS!
I'm too much of an old to drink until 4, but I applaud @Scott_Wiener for championing the interests of the youth.
The fight over your right to party past 2 a.m. in California will continue as #SB905 advances further than it did last year. Bars in select cities could be open to 4 a.m.
Seriously everybody what made YIMBYtown so awesome last year is how there were real discussions between people with very different political leanings that would never talk otherwise. It's not too late to stop the circular firing squad.
In light of yesterday's Twitter discussion re: keynote speakers, the #YIMBYtown Organizers would like to share this message:
I'll say this: SF yimbys better knock down Breed's door on any sweep. EB4E would certainly do the same of a candidate we supported. Espesially the ones who raged about Farrell's sweeps and prog's complicity.
@IDoTheThinking This is related to why SNAP recipients cannot buy rotisserie chickens. As long as we conflate wealth with virtue, we will demand penitence for charity.
Spoke to an old west-side homeowner today. He said "We can't just build our way out of this crisis." So we asked "the population is increasing, where will all these people live?" He responded, deadpan: "Fresno." NIMBYs want San Francisco for themselves, not for everyone.
TFW you can perfectly envision an affordable, constructable transit expansion that would massively improve both local access and systemwide reliability and are haunted by it every waking moment of your life
My apartment is an investment property: it's owned by a multi-billion dollar real estate trust to which I begrudgingly pay rent. It doesn't make my house any less of a home. I'm fine with anything -- a homeless shelter, social housing or market rate home -- going up next to me.
I feel like this phrase: "It's not a housing shortage, its an affordability crisis" as @JovankaBeckles said, and many others I've talked to in recent months, is just a way to critique the crisis while remaining in your comfort zone of no actual visual or lifestyle change.
"I've just been to America, and I didn't see many new things at all," said Xie Aijuan, a retiree in her 50s. Evidently, Xie wasn't impressed with California's historic gas stations or historic ranch home suburbs. nytimes.com/2018/07/21/tec…
My sister--who is a housing normie--mentioned that while shopping at Monterey Market in Northbrae, she heard old white guys behind her remark on how the city needed to stop building housing to keep people out of Berkeley. 99% or 100% chance they have "Refugees Welcome" signs?
