@RealDianeYap To be fair, posting on Twitter is similar to playing video games: dopamine and wasted time.
English
Gaming as a hobby says negative things about a man:
- dopamine addiction
- ok with wasting time on useless things
Additionally, any unit of time he chooses to spend gaming instead of doing fun things with his wife or girlfriend is an insult to her. How could he prefer that?
Lizzie Marbach@LizzieMarbach
I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games. Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do. It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼♀️

@grant_melson If he added all his money into the system, it wouldn’t magically create more goods and services. It would mean more dollars in the system, more dollars chasing everything, which would decrease your buying power.
English
Can’t believe this guy’s goal is to hoard a $10T net worth.
I would think with all that wealth, he would use it to help people more.
Like ending deaths in car accidents, or providing affordable transport for everyone, or offering internet to isolated people groups or something.

JUST IN: Elon Musk says his goal is to reach a $10 trillion net worth. "$10T or bust"

She is a socialist that to me, represents everything that's destroying my beloved city and state. She's owned by the corrupt public employee unions that are bleeding our state dry and pushing to confiscate even more our earnings, and even wants unrealized gains taxes to go after money we haven't actually earned yet.
So I don't think I could ever vote for her, because she's just as bad as Wiener when it comes to what I think is really destroying quality of life for people like you and me.
I want to live in a world where transactions are voluntary. But both Wiener and Chan want to create a world where nothing belongs to the individual. In other words, they are both fascists (putting the state above the individual).

Scott Wiener holds San Francisco's state senate seat. While his district has one of the worst open-air drug markets in America, he spends his time in Sacramento passing culture war bills about trans inmate housing and sex offender registry carve-outs.
Wiener has state-senator levers for SF's actual crisis. Treatment mandates, detox funding, conservatorship reform, Prop 36 implementation, handing cartel soldiers to ICE. He pulls none of those levers.
𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗗𝗿𝘂𝗴 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹
SB 57 (2022) would have legalized supervised injection sites in SF, LA, and Oakland. State-sanctioned rooms to use fentanyl in, with Narcan on standby. Newsom vetoed it. That's the entirety of his drug crisis portfolio in nine years.
𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀
Wiener is a loud defender of California's sanctuary state law (SB 54, the "California Values Act"), which blocks local police and sheriffs from handing non-citizen offenders to ICE on most charges, including street-level drug dealing. The Tenderloin fentanyl trade isn't run by freelancers. It's run by violent trafficking networks that also smuggle people, coerce dealers into debt bondage, and enforce turf with guns. SB 54 keeps them undeportable. Wiener calls that a "value."
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗼
Authored:
- SB 132 (signed 2020): Housing trans inmates by gender identity
- SB 145 (signed 2020): Carved LGBTQ exceptions into sex offender registry rules
- SB 357 (signed 2022): Repealed loitering-for-prostitution, which gutted street enforcement on Capp Street
- SB 107 (signed 2022): Made CA a sanctuary for out-of-state minors seeking gender-affirming care, even when parents object
Statewide attention. National media. Progressive donor love. All irrelevant to SF's actual crisis.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗜𝗻 𝗦𝗗-𝟭𝟭
- Tenderloin fentanyl corridors where SF averages nearly two fatal overdoses per day citywide
- Capp Street turned into an open-air sex market
- Market Street wrecked by Westfield abandoning its flagship mall
- Vacant storefronts across Mission, SOMA, Castro
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁
Nine years in office. A pile of symbolic bills. One drug bill, to legalize injection sites. Active defense of the sanctuary law keeping the dealers in place. Nothing on treatment, detox, or enforcement. That's a career choice.
Name one bill Wiener has authored that goes after the organized crime running SF streets. Replies open.

Anytime the government is involved, costs skyrocket 🚀 Think of all the most expensive things (healthcare, housing, education) and what they all have in common is heavy government intervention. Government creates problems, then steals your earnings to fix those problems, which creates even more problems.
We should just let renters and tenants create contracts, the courts enforce the contracts, and the government should otherwise get the hell out of the way.
Once the lease is up, the agreement should be over, and at that point the owner and tenant either create a new agreement, or go their separate ways.
Under such a system, the risks of renting your space would be much lower, so you can afford to rent at a lower rate. You wouldn't have to worry about a tenant destroying your place, refusing to pay rent, and then having a city-funded attorney help prevent you from removing them.
That's how you lower rents dramatically for the long term: reduce the risks of renting your space. Anytime we add more government to the equation, the problem will just intensify, risks go up, and rent will continue to go up with those risks.
Scott Wiener failed because he refuses to even talk about the primary reason costs are going up: risk to rent your space is going up.
It's all about addressing the root cause of higher rents: the high risk of having tenants.
English
Someone finally asked @Scott_Wiener why 10 years of YIMBY legislation haven’t lowered rents or home prices.
10 years that could have been spent working on affordability vs neoliberal market based solutions that politicians love bc the latter require no new taxes or funding.
English
Never vote for a Republican who says this. It's unbelievably dangerous and destructive.
They want rich boomers to steal money from hard-working young people to punish them for supporting socialism and left-wing cultural politics.
Bonchie@bonchieredstate
“But if you get rid of property taxes on primary residences, you’ll have to raise sales taxes!” So what? A consumption tax is always preferable to the state de facto owning your home.
English
Too much density degrades quality of life, and most people aspire to eventually live in a single-family home and their own piece of land. So it makes sense to cap density and instead build where land is plentiful and cheap.
The US is enormous, so there's no good reason to force people to live stacked on top of each other and deprive them of the dream of having a family and a plot of land to call their own.
English
Funny how well that map lines up with local topography and the locations of state parks…
I’m all for more housing but the answer is building upwards in developed areas to house a lot of people, not putting 5 over 1’s on Mount Diablo or data centers in the south bay’s salt pools
Andrew Jeffery@credealjunkie
“The Bay Area is land constrained, there’s nowhere left to build housing.” (green = undeveloped land)
English
@Jsheared @transcended @AsterZephyrIsis Certainly less in those neighborhoods, because those neighborhoods have less progressive non-profits handing out drug-tourism supplies.
Wherever there is less progressive influence, quality of life improves dramatically.
English
@transcended @AsterZephyrIsis "letting junkies run around the city" now I know you're lying. Ain't no junkies in the Outer Sunset or the Richmond, where most families live. Get off of Fox News.
English
San Francisco is closing public schools because we have evicted working class families in favor of AI yuppies with designer dogs.
San Francisco Chronicle@sfchronicle
With puppy massages and poop alerts, San Francisco’s luxury pet care business is booming. What does it say about the city and its love of dogs? sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
English
@AsterZephyrIsis Nah as someone with a family who left SF recently, we left bc of all the stupid progs who decided letting junkies run around the city threatening to murder people including on playgrounds with children present or in front of preschools is why we left
English
Since downtown currently has so much empty space, if we focus on building housing towers there (or converting office towers), we can have the best of both worlds: more housing near where people work while allowing people who paid a lot of money to live in lower density to keep what they paid for.
Seems like we can avoid these political disputes, and all the costs and stress associated, by simply adding density in places where people already expect it to be.
English
@JayaGup10 Here's what's wrong: Safeway wants to build 800 apartments in an Arquetonica-designed building in the Marina (where a 2-bed rents for over $4k). A bunch of NIMBYs are fighting against it. And developers have to pay tons of impact fees & include BMR housing - driving up costs.
English
@zippoviolet @ahouse4all No, it's lack of incentives. If you have access to government violence to steal the revenue you need, no need to provide good service.
If you have to compete and earn a profit, then bad service means your organization dies.
English
@LoveCodeTrade @ahouse4all It ends up being low quality because of capitalist influence and starve the beast program maintenance.
English
Hopefully not unpopular for long but...
The housing crisis will never be solved via the market. We need significant investment of public money into a social housing program that would be an option to all very low, low, middle, and high income earners.
Jardani🕊️@jardani41
what’s your unpopular opinion ?
English
@StatisticUrban By far one of my least favorite trends is people not realizing a massive portion of pasture land isn’t arable and we are actively creating more calories than we otherwise could via using it to produce meat.
English
@TheAuthorGuy Using government violence to steal people’s earning is wrong.
Why? Because stealing is wrong.
I wish more parents taught their kids this.
English
Because we agreed as a society that it's not right to let poor people go hungry. (Remember right and wrong?) Before you shout about them getting a job, 39% of SNAP recipients are children. 25% are disabled adults. Roughly half of recipients are employed (yes there's overlap).

I'm voting for Tom Steyer. We cannot continue with the same old centrists like Becerra and Mahan. We need bold progressive policies that help everyday Californians.
Tom Steyer is the only progressive running in double digits.
Seems@sonicfan75
Makes sense that Newsom’s top allies are trying to protect the existing status quo, even as it continues to fail Californians. Vote @TomSteyer for real change.
English
@SukritGanesh Simple solution: require data centers to generate their own power.
English
Minnesota made it easy to build data centers as long as they pay for grip upgrades (and a bunch of other fees).
Seattle wants to ban new data centers entirely because they claim it’ll raise electricity prices & strain the grid.
Needless to say, don’t be Seattle.
Hannah Krieg@hannahkrieg
BREAKING: Seattle City Council Members announced they will introduce an emergency, year long moratorium on the siting of new data centers

@PippengerHarlo Without profit, there is no motivation.
Without motivation, society degraded into something like the Venezuela or North Korea.
Everything awesome in life was created by someone seeking profit.

the problem with our housing system is that it begins and ends with profit

@MLNow @SanMateoGOP Why are unions against immigration enforcement?
Seems like an endless flood of 3rd worlders would degrade the lives of unions members.

JUST IN: Several San Francisco supervisors, past and present, were arrested at SFO just a bit ago as part of an anti-ICE May Day protest.
Supervisors Rafael Mandelman & Connie Chan were zip-tied by SFPD, as was former supe Jane Kim, among others.

@SukritGanesh @SR_eth I suppose if we added millions of people to a previously undeveloped area, it would develop its own core.

@SR_eth The undeveloped land isn't near the state's 3 biggest metros (bay area, LA, San Diego).

How to fix California:
- Implement 1910s building laws (zoning, permitting, etc.) on 50% of all urban land. Basically unfettered YIMBYism.
- Remove Prop 13.
- Abolish CEQA
- Uncap home insurance rates
- Eliminate corporate income taxes
- Adopt urbanism as state policy
English
@PippengerHarlo Terms limits seem objectively good, no matter where you are on the political spectrum.
"No Kings"...right?
English
so basically vote the opposite of this except for Prop A
