This article quotes a sociology professor, a lawyer, and an architect who reject the notion that housing prices are set by supply and demand and do not believe that building more homes reduces rents. It is the housing policy equivalent of platforming climate change deniers.

Since 2020, electricity bills have risen 34% for customers of investor-owned utilities, but only 19% for customers of publicly owned utilities. Nuking the IOU model & making all distribution utilities publicly owned: people are saying.

As someone who has been doing advocacy in this space for a while, I really find the implied idea of some all powerful bike lobby obnoxious. If we were that powerful, a lot more people would still be alive! Why is that the strange thing to value over free parking?

Clarifying article on how the single stair reform in SF is actually anything but that www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Mayor Daniel Lurie touted a key housing reform. Critics say it changes almost nothing

The only way you can build a small 5-6 story apartment building under these rules is if you add a second (exterior) stair that fully complies with the regular building code. This is the case of doing nothing and trying to get a headline out of it. #sanfrancisco www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...
