Scroll through Connie Chan’s extensive record of blocking housing.

I've followed pedestrian safety topics for a while, and the "hood height" issue was familiar (and horrifying) to me, but the A-pillar and mirror blind spots were new- terrible how modern trucks/SUVs block sight lines and put us all at risk www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Opinion | One City Might Have Just Cracked the Housing Crisis

nytimes.com

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

I was recently introduced to the concept of ‘POSIWID’ (the purpose of a system is what it does), and I think we can say that San Francisco’s old land use regulations were designed to send housing prices skyrocketing www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

How did Oakland’s favorite movie theater survive for a century? The answer includes Ryan Coogler, real butter and a theater operator who fell in love with a money pit.

Ossoff: "There are some folks who are doomscrolling in the fetal position. Every day there is a new outrage. It's easy I know to fear that maybe we could lose our republic. I think what John Lewis would tell us is it's up to us. We have the power to right the ship. Nobody is gonna do it for us."

Thank you @jkdineen.bsky.social for shining a light on this Potrero/Dogpatch stairway slog! I lived on the west side of the hill and commuted via the 22nd Street Caltrain station for many years, and this stair would have been very helpful [gift link] www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s...

Why this stairway that would connect S.F. neighborhoods has been unfinished for 10 years

Residents blame the developer that promised the stairway that would connect Dogpatch and Potrero Hill neighborhoods. But the developer says the city’s permitting woes are the culprit.

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

When they decided to teach the kids (such as my 11yo) a lesson I don't think they understood the lesson was fuck ICE

“8 to 80”: If you design a city that works for 8-year-olds as well as 80-year-olds, you’ll likely serve everyone in between. Let’s do it, @lukebornheimer.com! @aarieff.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/arti...

S.F. has the infrastructure to be a transit utopia. What’s holding it back? Something small

Urban planners call it the “8 to 80” framework: If you design a city that works for 8-year-olds as well as 80-year-olds, you serve everyone in between.

How To Delay Affordable Senior Housing in SF, Despite a Law That Blocks Appeals

Bernal Heights neighbors demanded and got a smaller building. Now they say it shouldn’t cut a private park in half. This wasn’t meant to happen.

hey Square, shutting off a block of the primary N-S bike commute path, just as hundreds of parents are bringing their kids home after school, with zero indication of alternate routes, is a shitty thing to do and a great way to piss off thousands of people! @sfmta.com : just keep the bike lanes open

The Twins have a number of existing t-shirts that inadvertently work as "Minnesota solidarity" gear, but you really have to dig for them! Missing an opportunity here, guys 😄

i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.
