Beautiful evening joining the Consulate of the Netherlands for a discussion on waterfront resilience and climate adaptation with experts from both sides of the Atlantic. As the Bay Area prepares for the impacts of sea level rise, we have so much to learn from the Dutch 🌊🌊🌊

Kamala gives a full throated YIMBY message on ending the housing shortage tonight, to thunderous applause: “For years we have heard excuses about why America can’t build enough housing. Enough with the excuses, I’m gonna cut the red tape…to speed up building and get it done!"

Thank you to Consul General Lim Jung-taek for the invitation to join in Korean Foundation Day celebrations! I'm pretty enthusiastic about Korean-American relations, seeing as I'm a product of them. 🇰🇷🤝🇺🇸

There's a chaos caucus in our politics. The seriousness of our elected leaders can be measured by whether they think these people need to be defeated or pandered to. @RashiKesarwani, you're a warrior. Keep at it. https://t.co/oGX3hbzNdB

ICYMI: An audience member attempted to assault @RashiKesarwani last night, furious over modest neighborhood changes. Anti-housing anger has reached an absurd level—why the irrational resistance to these common sense housing solutions?

Great and hilarious story from @hknightsf and @AlexandraBerzon on Kamala Harris's subtle erasure of her hometown of Berkeley, which gets traded for Oakland and the East Bay in her speeches. (Just imagine how the Canadians feel.)

The vice president has virtually erased Berkeley, Calif., her hometown, from her campaign biography. The residents of “the People’s Republic” say they get it.

Glad Kamala is talking about her childhood and her mother but the gymnastics to avoid the word ‘Berkeley’ here is hilarious. feels like the line I set that she would not say ‘Berkeley’ until the election needed to actually be lower lol.
