Replacing single family homes with apartments does not make a neighborhood less nice or desirable, in fact it makes it more so

My SIL offered to drive me to Trader Joe's because of the lengthy shopping list. I told her it would fit. TJ Checkers were impressed, one accompanied me to bike to take pictures to send his manager to show why they need better bike racks. Eggs sitting on bubble wrap under purse
"Farm workers can't have affordable housing because it would modestly inconvenience me when I'm looking for parking" should be a view people are embarrassed to share publicly

@_michaelmay_ @JacobPritchett Direct violence and the implied violence of the state coercing people into selling their properties are both forms of violence, bud. We understand YIMBYs are ok with the latter one, obviously. Liberals gonna liberal.
@vortmax79 @cafedujord What kind of people do you think live in apartments?
@pmcondon2 why is the real estate cycle in Austin (which built lots of housing) driving rents down and in NYC (which has not) been driving rents up?
building new housing provided no benefit to renters, huh?
@cafedujord @ruffdrawn The issue: upzoning leads to cash grab for land speculators. Not much benefit to renters or ftb folks. Non market housing would fix this.
@MikeJazzpenis @snarkmawchuk @cafedujord You literally said it would no longer be a "nice neighborhood." But it would be.
@11thJeff @cafedujord Apartments and condos are real homes. Did you inherit some property with a 1980 Prop 13 tax basis?
@johnnowicki @cafedujord @cruickshank The noise comes from cars. Not from people. The neighbourhoods in San Francisco Jordan is talking about are decidedly not middle class, anyway.
@MikeJazzpenis @cafedujord I don’t like San Francisco’s west side. Shitty, falling apart, hideous, cheap stucco houses built in 1950 all over the Sunset and Richmond districts. Hope that clarifies.
@KyrstensCloset Using violence to steal someone's land and offering them a wheelbarrow full of cash in exchange for their land are very different.
@KyrstensCloset You're doing the thing x.com/yhdistyminen/s…
People are really on here referring to development as "colonization" like Columbus was just some guy who wanted to build apartments
@MikeJazzpenis @cafedujord Are neighborhoods supposed to be museums that never change?
@MikeJazzpenis @cafedujord Different? Yes. Worse? No. Neighborhoods change with the people who live there, of course. Imagining people who live in multifamily housing are worse is just classist (at best)
@MikeJazzpenis @cafedujord Waaaaah the apartments waaaaah
@MikeJazzpenis @cafedujord Your framing is that apartments are fundamentally undesirable and many of us firmly reject that idea.
Thanks for supporting the YIMBY candidate, Kate.
This is one person who is running against Stancil. I’ve donated to her. I’m begging Minnesotans to not enable the next Fetterman. Someone like Stancil whose sole motivator is being anti socialist will enact horrors if allowed to have a career.
i don't think building apartment buildings on the west side of san francisco is comparable to colonialism
"We should tear down other people's homes so that me and people like me can live there. We know what's best for that land." Y'all realize how incredibly colonialist this mindset sounds, right?
it is, i think, a problem that the right wing has so few serious people that it’s easy to dismiss them as just mob of hokey provincial car dealers and ignore the parallel centers of power that they’ve built up which now rival the liberal society it wants to compete against
Traffic deaths in CA are spiking & speed is a big factor. We need new approaches to help people drive safely. Our bill to require new cars to deploy technology alerting drivers when they’re driving >10 MPH above the speed limit passed its 1st committee. SB 961 will save lives.
@cafedujord Yeah but how would that enrich Aaron Peskin?
@cafedujord it’s wild to see the Peninsula from above when approaching SFO from the south, it looks mostly uninhabited
