@TheUnsaid11 @RichardK4 @supermarke That building is objectively cool and the marina won’t be any worse with it in the skyline. Stop the pearl clutching

All Safeways should become 20 story hi-rises for people who earn less than 70k but the hilarious thing about the YIMBY ageism that greeted this pic is that literally across the street is “Frat Mason” where 100s of rich young people get together for frisbee volleyball or whatever.

Hundreds of #SanFrancisco Marina residents turned out this evening for townhall on controversial @Safeway housing plan, which would place what for many is an uncomfortably tall, 22 & 18 story project at the low-slung neighborhood’s waterfront. @sfchronicle

@coryfromphilly You ever thought about why that might be the case?
English
@KingKayrho It is illegal to build dense housing in the Marina, with or without rent control.
English
How do you puts roots down if there are four available 2beds available, as is the case in the Marina?
I hate these real estate people who dont understand economics.
Real Estate Lawyer@SinaiLawFirm
How many people who want this project in the Marina are going to sign a 10-year lease with the building? Here is the thing - I have no love for the people in the picture, nothing in common with them. But they have roots in the city. Those who scream about affordable housing are not staying long term. They are transients.

The marina needs like 10 more of these ASAP

The controversial SF Marina Safeway redevelopment got an update: The towers got shorter… but the project got bigger. New plans increase the project from 790 to 848 homes while reducing the height and improving efficiency. The site will replace an old (but loved) grocery store + surface parking with: • 848 apartments • 86 affordable homes • A new Safeway • A mixed-use neighborhood on 2.6 acres 📍San Francisco

@donatelli2026 >just moved here in January
Tell me more about how you know what's best for our city? Why not go home and fix where you are from instead of leaving it?

can we get rid of these boomers and finally enjoy the NYC-fication of San Francisco?

@BrianSteel1mn @keithkman @rjrcapital @donatelli2026 Ever heard of sharing a place until you can afford rent?

@dhdjendhdh89834 @keithkman Imagine thinking we don't already have the talent in the US. Silicon Valley started well before the temp workers.
English
Instead of attacking these people the real problem is 25% of the people living in SF are temporary workers. Send the ~64,000 living in SF back to their countries and watch what happens to housing prices in the city. 🙃

@charliemktplace @TheStalwart Bug person wants to turn a beautiful city into a bug person city, color me surprised. It's a 7x7 mile city, not everyone can live here.
English
It's the cultural center of the tech-software world. But the design work and major companies have sprawled south throughout the valley. The sprawl is super inefficient.
SF with Guangzhou level density and like $1500/mo rent would make it a world city of art and culture. Usurping LA and NYC.

Tech CEO says old people are the reason rent is so high in San Francisco.
evan conrad@evanjconrad
when rent is $8k for a one bedroom, please remember that the fault is in the people who, for 50 years, showed up to argue against nearly every unit of housing proposed these people are no san franciscans
English
@keithkman @bilalmahmood How dare you press the "fix everything" button
English
@bilalmahmood Temporary workers make up 25% of the population of SF. Send them back to their countries and housing prices will be affordable for American citizens.

Why is this photo so maddening?
Because it exposes the generational divide in our housing debate. Between those who find a reason to say no - instead of yes - to housing.
Over the last year on the Board of Supervisors, I've seen NIMBYs say no to housing because it's not affordable enough (eventhough it could include nearly 100 affordable units), because it will change neighborhood character (even if its just on an empty parking lot), or because it casts a shadow (serious! though I do have a law to fix that)
We have a deep affordability crisis right now, and younger generations are calling BS now both on NIMBYs who will find any excuse to oppose housing, as wells as on our city's lack of action. We have been doing just the amount necessary to be in compliance with the law, but not the amount sufficient to actually break ground on new housing.
In a 7x7 city, we must build housing wherever we can, faster and bolder, if we are to live up to our values as a progressive San Francisco that can continue to be a home for the immigrants and refugees who seek to move here as much as it can be home for the children and grandchildren who seek to stay.

@4entanyl @Dollartree_1 What you depo'd minus your current balance. PnL is not that hard bruh
English
@Dollartree_1 Dude on Duel (me) just lost $600 on house blackjack and was absolutely ecstatic 🥳 Made an account.. lost 15 hands in a row.. went 2 for 26.. no PnL graph or bet history so you can't even see the hole you're in 😍 Kind of sad this IS the industry norm 🙏
English
Dude in the Duel Discord just won $36k and was absolutely ecstatic
He couldn't believe he could just make an account.. win money.. and then instantly withdraw with zero friction
Kind of sad this isn't the industry norm and people expect to run into issues after winning
English
@heckraiser11 @SourdeathSam Yea but then you had to watch Jordan vs algeria
English
@SourdeathSam I went to Jordan v Algeria this week at Levi’s for $220 each in row two. Even $1,500 is too rich for my blood
English
Tickets for the USA v Bosnia game at Levis are starting to crumble. Cheapest ticket used to be $3000+.
Today it's down to ~1500.
For those wanting to go, hope might not be lost quite yet.
