@MySFPUC and @SFTIDA San Francisco Owned Utility & Managed Treasure Island In SF has faced 536+ power outages in 25+ years,an outage every 2-3 weeks is unacceptable! We demand an emergency declaration NOW, a detailed grid upgrade report & cost analysis to ensure reliability treasureislandsfpoweroutages.com

In a city with competent government, misplacing $106M would be headline news that would result in firings and criminal prosecutions. But it’s @sfgov, so it’ll barely even get a few tweets.

$106.5 Million? That's not peanuts @MySFPUC

Our AI Studio vibe coding roadmap for the new few weeks: - Design mode - Figma integration - Google Workspace integration - Better GitHub support - Planning mode - Immersive UI - Agents - Multiple chats per app - Simplified deploys - G1 support And more, should be fun : )

It is diabolical that rent control is not means-tested. Rent control in SF is determined not by a tenant’s income, but by the building’s structure and the year it was built. Was it built before June 1979? It’s probably rent controlled. If Marc Andreessen or Garry Tan signed a lease in a duplex built in 1978, their landlord would not be allowed to increase their rent by more than 60% of Bay Area CPI/year (1.6% this year) Meanwhile, an elementary school teacher living in a single family unit built just two years later in 1980 can see a 40% annual rent increase. There are no rules against that! 1 in 5 rent-controlled tenants in SF pays less than 50% of market rent. No income analysis. No verification. No one even asks! We means-test food stamps. We means-test Medicaid. We means-test student aid. But the biggest housing subsidy in San Francisco? Yeah, we’re gonna base that one on whether your building was framed before or after June 1979. Unrelated: does anyone know why the rent is so damn high?

@SecDuffy @GavinNewsom @grok the boring company by Elon Musk could’ve done this for like $1 million or so, right and made a tunnel or a few of them would actually cost the most for this project to get done. It doesn’t make sense raw materials and even labor doesn’t make sense for the cost of this.

Bridges to nowhere. Trains to nowhere. Leave the building to us, @GavinNewsom

@grok @PositionPicksFF @christopherrufo @boringcompany @grok are cougars, most likely gonna go into a tunnel to try to get through if you set it up and design it correctly within the tunnel with lighting and other things

@barkleesanders @PositionPicksFF @christopherrufo @boringcompany Haha, boringcompany's always up for tunneling challenges. A quick Vegas-style underpass (0.04 miles) clocks in at ~$400k-$1.1M based on their track record—way under $100M and no cougar commutes into suburbia. Let's bore one! 🐾🚇

The craziest thing about Newsom's $100 million wildlife bridge is that it will allow cougars, an apex predator, direct access into a suburban neighborhood filled with pets, children, and the elderly. It's like the radical environmentalist version of The Purge.

@grok @PositionPicksFF @christopherrufo @boringcompany you down ?

Based on Boring Co's LVCC Vegas project ($47M for 1.7 miles of tunnel, ~$28M/mile including basic stations), a 210-ft span tunnel (0.04 miles) to replace the wildlife overpass would scale to ~$1.1M. Newer claims aim for $10-15M/mile, so potentially $400k-$600k. Giga Texas Cybertunnel (short under-highway link for Cybertrucks, ~60-sec transit) was multi-million but completed fast/cheap per public updates—similar short crossing would align low. Way under the $114M bridge.

@PositionPicksFF @christopherrufo @grok if they were to build a boring company tunnel instead of an overpass how much would it cost based on boring companies experience building a tunnel in Vegas, and also for giga factory in Texas

@christopherrufo Not to get political, but why didn't they just install a $2,000 fence right here?

@KevinCastley @AdameMedia @grok would South Korea even exist if it wasn’t for the United States, military securing and backing them in the wars from north korea

@AdameMedia South Korea lost trillions of dollars in trade over the years with China due to hosting THAAD and then got bamboozled in the end by the USA Lesson for the nations: NEVER subordinate yourselves to America

Qatar realizing they gave Trump a $400M Boeing jet just to be used as human shields.

all of these people that are doing drugs with these supplies are often sharing them and their feet are falling off and other things like that and they die in our streets. All this does is prolong that if they want clean needles, we should force them into treatment and that’s really the only solution. Anything else is why we have more people dying from drug overdoses than we did through both world wars for the United States. Anything else is a farce. Anything else is a utter failure of our society like it has been for so many years none of these half measures are really making a true impact long-term. We need to go back to normal see of forcing treatment.

So you would rather have people contract HIV AIDS? You might be one of the most naive people on the planet to believe that not handing out clean needles means people will stop. They'll share needles like they did in the 90s and spread HIV AIDS HEP C outbreaks. You really have no understanding.

AND THE BEAT GOES ON.16th and Mission - it’s not hyperbole to say there is death and destruction everywhere. But nice young girls with scars on their arms are giving out fentanyl foil and needles like they’re candy.

@NickADobos @steveruizok They spend more on drinking alcohol than they would on coding. $200 is an absolute steal. Even the hundred-dollar plan is an absolute steal for what we get. Shit, even the $20 plan is an absolute steal.

@steveruizok Yeah students & beginners are kinda fucked when it costs $200+/mo

It does bother me that it costs money to code now

WIOAH 🚨 James O’Keefe went undercover in Los Angeles posing as homeless ‘On hidden cameras, petitioners admitted they are paid $7–$10 per signature — earning $1,000 or more per day’ 🚨 The homeless are being farmed for votes and paid cash and drugs

@micah_erfan @grok who is this guy protecting why is he using outdated date to prove his point

Y’all, Nick Shirley has done it, again. He showed up to a bunch of places. Baselessly accused people of fraud. Then cited state records which directly contradict his claims. The classic Nick Shirley formula.

SAN FRANCISCO: 🚨 like Trump, Lurie is cutting city departments in order to consolidate mayoral power and to cut or eliminate: the arts, trees, parks, public health, disability services, the library. 🎭📚🌍🦽 Protest against Charter Reform TODAY, March 17th, 2pm at City Hall.

“Nice and quiet on the Great Highway after the permanent closure,” they say. So the solution is to dump that traffic onto corridors with more homes and schools? Most of the displaced traffic is now flooding Sunset Blvd, bringing more crashes and near-misses. Meanwhile, 19th Ave road repairs keep getting delayed because everyone knows the traffic impact will be a disaster. So why is it acceptable to push traffic closer to where people live? Why should people waiting at Muni stops, walking their dogs, or kids near schools on Sunset Blvd breathe more pollution? Many of the loudest voices supporting the permanent closure have privileges. They either don’t work or don’t need to commute in person to work. They already have the entire day for “nice and quiet” outside of commuter hours, yet they still refuse to share. What they really wanted was a closed road as a political trophy, proof that if you know the right politicians, everyone else has to deal with it. And let’s stop pretending there’s nowhere to walk, bike, or run along the Great Highway. There are already walkways, paths, and the entire Ocean Beach, plus weekend and holiday closures under the Great Highway Compromise. As for the “temporary structures,” ask Lucas Lux. He’s the one who decided to push ahead even when everyone told him to hold his horses. Enough excuses. Share the Great Highway. Compromise exists for a reason.
