Oakland Antioch & Eastern RR

As the decade progressed, San Francisco added 10 jobs for every 1 housing unit approved, putting tremendous pressure on Oakland. Land values for this neighborhood, relatively close to Ashby and MacArthur BART, exploded. Renters were economically displaced.

@dereklphillips @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas Neither have you apparently. You should read some primary source documents and not simply rely on the good word of the group chat

@gradyjoseph @TribTowerViews @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas Grady you've already made it incredibly clear that you have no idea who Lee is or what kind of work he's done

These guys have one trick: guilt by association. They never want to engage on the merits. Do you disagree that we need permitting reform for rapid rail transit? should we curb the power of localities to block wind farms with onerous setback requirements? should a disgruntled wealthy homeowner be able to block a triplex?

@dereklphillips @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas You think knowledge of the internal workings of government can be divorced from the political program (blocking housing on behalf of rich NIMBYs) being effectuated by said knowledge?

@TribTowerViews @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas I thought we were decrying non sequiturs in here??

@dereklphillips @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas Guy who knows governments internal workings and use that knowledge to ensure multimillionaire homeowners on Nob Hill don’t have their Bay views obstructed by a ten unit townhome development

@TribTowerViews @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas The purpose of me highlighting Lee's work was in response to the fellow who was baselessly.... grossly.... embarrassingly characterized Lee as someone who works outside of government, or misunderstands its internal workings, or whatever

@dereklphillips @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas I bet these lines kill on Facebook tho

@dereklphillips @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas You: he’s a such a good legislator to do good progressive things! Me: here’s are examples of him working with reactionaries to roll back specific affordable housing laws You: if I just do tired Gen X riffing I don’t have to address these issues on the merits

@dereklphillips @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas Taking your non-response as a yes, you think it’s fine to support segregationists and their ballot measures to zero state housing laws around affordable housing and fair housing.

@TribTowerViews @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas guilt by association for thee, but not for me!!

@dereklphillips @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas Do you typically insert non-sequitors into conversations when you find out your friends hang out with segregationists from Beverly Hills and Orinda?

@TribTowerViews @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas wait I thought we were decrying guilt by association in here??

@dereklphillips @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas Lee also found time to attend meetings for California premier statewide land use segregation and anti affordable housing organization Livable California. Lee and his boss Aaron both supported LC’s failed ballot measure to roll back fair housing, inclusionary zoning, zoning laws

@dereklphillips @gradyjoseph @maxdubler @JerusalemDemsas Having observed Lee’s work in government for nearly a decade, your post is completely untethered from reality. His work-product overwhelmingly targeted stopping housing and infrastructure or empowering wealthy incumbents. He’s also a very sloppy legislative drafter.

@GDenevan Can confirm

In the Pam Price recall map (red=no, green=yes), you can see all the young people who moved from Adams Point/Temescal/West Oakland to buy houses and start families around Maxwell Park

@replicantsofth1 @rohangrey @harryh @pdore1969 Didn’t drop the AMI. Hope Cupertino builds more affordable housing.

the yimby's for harris guy has thoughts about who should be ignored today

@rohangrey @replicantsofth1 @harryh @pdore1969 I’m wrong because you don’t understand class and spatial origins and distinctions?

@TribTowerViews @replicantsofth1 @harryh @pdore1969 double down on being wrong it's all you got left buddy

@rohangrey @replicantsofth1 @harryh @pdore1969 Your job out of college is not your class / spatial position my god.

@TribTowerViews @replicantsofth1 @harryh @pdore1969 My first job in US was teaching in an elementary school at 128th/4th that was entirely black/latino, 90%+ on reduced/free lunches. In a basement with no windows working out how to get free personalized music classes for every kid in the school. go project your bullshit elsewhere

@rohangrey @replicantsofth1 @harryh @pdore1969 Wow — changed primary and secondary schools that many times huh?

@replicantsofth1 @TribTowerViews @harryh @pdore1969 Also some amazing projection. I've lived in central Harlem (123rd/7th), Crown Heights, Oakland (off Int'l Boulevard), New Orleans (Treme), DC (Columbia Heights), etc. He has no clue who he's talking to

@rohangrey @thisisbenphelps @pdore1969 I can see why you don’t actually practice law.

@TribTowerViews @thisisbenphelps @pdore1969 armand is absolutely the topic, im sorry you still dont read good. and im not bragging about my own reading im laughing at your lack of reading comprehension

@rohangrey @replicantsofth1 @harryh @pdore1969 The point is that Friedrich has no expertise, wrote an opinion piece and concedes the central YIMBY point. He’s also from a very rich white suburb. the kinds you and Cam Murray love so much.

@TribTowerViews @replicantsofth1 @harryh @pdore1969 lol i dont know which of you reads worse, but i guess he didnt try to throw his undergrad major at me so he wins the less-cringe award x.com/harryh/status/…

@rohangrey @thisisbenphelps @pdore1969 Armand is not the topic. YIMBYism is. Are you bragging about misreading an opinion piece by a non-SME that concedes the central YIMBY point and was otherwise widely rebutted when it first came out?

@TribTowerViews @thisisbenphelps @pdore1969 im pretty sure i articulated the position that i think armand is stupid on my own terms, if that puts me in a particular in-group then they sound chill, but the irony of being lectured about in-group signalling from a bunch of yimby's who cant read articles or get tone is rich

@rohangrey @replicantsofth1 @harryh @pdore1969 Oh yeah totally — especially since that passage doesn’t rebut anything @harryh said

@TribTowerViews @replicantsofth1 @harryh @pdore1969 lol im sorry you couldn't get the joke and are now trying to make it other people's problem

@rohangrey @replicantsofth1 @harryh @pdore1969 It sounds like the empty beer cans, based on your erratic posting.

@TribTowerViews @replicantsofth1 @harryh @pdore1969 lol you can laugh, but i re-read it again and it actually also included a definition of sarcasm, so who's laughing now
