I’m sure this experience with a bottom-up, community-led approach to neighborhood change and public infrastructure will inform Mr. Marohn’s future writing on housing.

The most important thing about science the public needs to remember is that the set of experimental and theoretical methods we refer to as "science" is the best, most reliable way of knowing we currently have. It's rough around the edges but it works way better than anything else.

this is an insane, bizarre state of affairs in which no one knows who's at war with whom, all stemming from the fact that the president is a brain-damaged moron who doesn't know how anything works and lies constantly, which the news refuses to relay and must somehow write around

because at no point in his presidency did he have a majority capable of doing that.

I strongly believe that almost everybody who works in housing and objects to upzoning bills because of displacement is using it as cover for another concern – either an ideological aversion to market-rate housing, or typical NIMBY things like parking

The force that is currently displacing more Californians than anything else is the powerful anti-housing coalition that likes to toss around bad faith displacement concerns whenever it suits them.

The "complaint of the day" on SB 79—our bill to legalize apartments around the state's best transit stations—is that it doesn't go far enough to address displacement. Nonsense: SB 79 uses SB 330 anti-displacement standards, arguably the strongest adopted in the US. www.mv-voice.com/news/2022/10...

Connecticut Gov Ned Lamont just announced that he will veto HB5002 because he wants local governments to take the lead. Expecting the local governments that have created the housing shortage by reserving 80% of their land for McMansions on one-acre lots to lead on zoning reform is a fool’s errand.

people say they like Fahrenheit because 0-100 is kind of the full range of outdoor temperatures you can experience, so I'm creating a new bespoke scale that's based on the range of possible temps in my specific location (San Diego), so 0° = 62°F and 100° = 78°F

Zohran campaign seems like a pretty big vindication of RCV tbh: the more left candidate has clearly felt substantial incentive to reach out to center, and multiple other candidates have felt incentive to not alienate his supporters either.

The high in the East Bay today is 70°. The fact that we don't have Manhattan-level density is a climate resilience planning failure.

> Zohran puts out a housing platform that downplays supply. > Abundanceworld raises concerns. > Zohran agrees we need to build a lot more housing, says he has changed his mind on the issue. > Abundanceworld praises Zohran. Yeah, this isn't bending the knee. This is power.

Elected officials need to grow a backbone and stop listening to these goalpost-shifting NIMBY groups. Their goal isn't to make projects better—it's to kill projects altogether and/or squeeze cash out of anyone who wants to build, even nonprofit housing developers. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/m...

Three of the best journalistic entities that are covering all this nonsense right are a parody newspaper, a teen mag, and a magazine for nerds, and I am grateful for them (The Onion, Teen Vogue, and Wired)

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

I get annoyed at the narrative that all the awareness and work on climate change hasn't done anything. Yes, global CO₂ emissions indeed continue to climb, but we don't know the counterfactual. When I was in grad school, we were on track for 5°C of warming. Now it's below 3°C. That's progress.

If only - Dean Preston’s staff replied to this data by saying that a plurality of public comments on the MTA budget were asking for lower fares (after Preston had posted on Twitter that people should write in and ask for lower fares.)

no energy is 100% clean if you look into the manufacturing process and components needed to build it but nuclear power has no direct carbon emissions and is on net one of the cleanest sources of energy. that’s just a simple fact

This really isn’t a hard message. Obama neutralized the Iran nuclear program through the hard work of diplomacy, but Trump tore up the deal in his first term out of spite and chose war instead.

There is a very serious problem amongst a significant chunk of the left of center (both liberals and leftists) where they treat a lot of the right-coded topics like military theory/history and weapons capabilities basically the same way right wingers treat sex ed

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

One thing the Dem establishment never really got over was the fact that Hillary Clinton lost the 2008 nomination because she supported the Iraq War. Denial and anger followed rather than learning from that decision.

the political lesson everyone should take from Iraq is that you will regret being in favor of this sooner or later and the earlier you were against it the better off you’ll be ignore the media frenzy and stake your position now, it’s the right thing to do and it’s the ambitious thing to do too

If it's market rate, it's just housing for rich people and must be opposed. If it's affordable housing, it's not affordable enough. If it's deeply affordable housing, then "street conditions and neighborhood safety will get worse." Also, what about parking??

Certain activists fought market-rate housing in the Mission, arguing 100% affordable housing was the only option. 2 Mission orgs then proposed 100% affordable housing & the same activists are now fighting it. It’s never been about “affordable housing.” It’s always been about straight-up NIMBYism.
