The CA Department of Housing and Community Development (@California_HCD) has mandated San Francisco to build 82k new homes by 2031. Uh oh 😳 I have an idea that will help: Tear down the Central Freeway. Its presence currently blocks tens of thousands of potential homes.

Notice how my decibel reader app can’t tell the difference between the beautiful, harmonious sounds of BART and a “civil defense siren” lol 🫠

The decibel levels for BART rides are perpetually hovering around the Danger Zone for the human ear, and they regularly surpass it. Most people don’t know. Our local leadership doesn’t seem to care. The SF laissez-faire attitude towards, well – everything – is our biggest flaw.

Nonprofit developers in the Mission have been shaking down private developers for years. Extracting funds and taking over housing sites, all in the name of "community" and "equity." This private developer is refusing to pay the protection money. https://t.co/Mtd9s8TfBb

San Francisco: Making housing illegal since the 70’s. But I’m proud to live in a city where “community” means funneling tax dollars to shadowy nonprofits that kill mixed-income housing, and then shake down City Hall to take over the site and collect more public cash 👍

Trump is making trade policy based on whether a TV ad gets under his skin. Meanwhile, the House is indefinitely shut down — Congress incapacitated — & Trump is ordering extrajudicial assassinations in the Caribbean & elsewhere. All to distract from inflation & the Epstein Files.

Watching this race closely. Minneapolis has been a national exemplar in how to appropriately build housing, and keep costs/rents down. Jacob Frey is right, and every major city in the US should follow Minneapolis’ example ⬇️⬇️⬇️

This is all downstream of Chinese “companies” manufacturing the precursor materials for fentanyl, shipping it to Mexico, and Mexican cartels funneling the final product across the border. We still have a very porous border when it comes to deadly drugs. America’s Opium War.

Yes. And I saw it last weekend in Berkeley CA. It’s 2-3 story buildings where the market would build to at least 10-12 stories if allowed. Nothing is uglier than scarcity.

Y’all, Donald Trump is scoffing at term limits. He doesn’t plan to leave quietly because he’s an aspiring dictator. You are not overreacting. The country is not guaranteed to be okay. The Constitution is not guaranteed to be okay.

Much of the abundant crowd in SF 1) refuse to admit these facts to themselves, or 2) they’re aware of obstacles, but are afraid to piss off labor. Either way – weak. Very weak. Meanwhile, Trump just bulldozed the East Wing for his own private ballroom, without consequence.

SF isn’t building any homes right now unless it’s tax-funded affordable housing projects. Absurd labor rules + inflated materials costs + outdated impact fees + still-significant amounts of bureaucratic processes = no housing. Recently passed state legislation doesn’t fix that.

U.S. cars are parked for approximately 95% of their total time in use. And this is the mode of travel we let dictate our land use and urban design policies for almost every American city.

Attn: San Francisco The Phoenix Project trusts Donald Trump over Daniel Lurie. Oh - just an fyi - the President of the Phoenix Project, Julie Pitta, stole campaign materials and was caught on surveillance cameras. Then, she was fired: https://t.co/91m0sh0KU4

It’s official: I’m running for Congress to represent San Francisco! I’ll fight Trump’s takeover, for our values, & for real progress. I’ve delivered on housing, healthcare, clean energy, and civil rights – and I’ll do it again. Let’s build the future our city & country deserve.

For those who don’t live in SD, it’s important to know that this area has been desperate for redevelopment going back decades. Just a large ghost town parking lot that’s been waiting, and waiting, and waiting…

Wow this is insane. A “small community group” is working to stop a redevelopment dream in San Diego, which plans for roughly 4500 new homes (half BMR), commercial space, parks and open space, new and modernized transit, and a new arena/entertainment venue.

Trump has already committed like a dozen impeachable offenses in his second term. We were through the looking glass back in 2016 when millions of leftists decided to *not vote* for Hillary Clinton. Here we are.

If he was compromised and intentionally working to see the nation implode, we’d experience the same thing. This is what it looks like. I don’t care how large the No Kings protests were – we’re sleepwalking into authoritarianism. Not enough people care (yet).

Trump is literally suing his own Justice Department for $230 million – OUR TAX DOLLARS – and Republicans don’t care. Republicans in Congress have surrendered every shred of dignity. On their knees, groveling and worshiping the con man who robs us all.
