@SenatorSinema Hey, fuck you. It’s not okay if you’re subject to their bigotry. These aren’t honest disagreements and you’re a fuckface for suggesting that’s all it is.

@SanDiegoAirport Speaking of transit, why doesn’t the trolley go to the airport?

The New Terminal 1 is under construction. Be sure to plan ahead and consider taking public transit or the free SD Flyer. For construction updates and to learn more visit newt1.com

@elonmusk Why don’t you go fuck yourself you ignorant fucking troll?

To independent-minded voters: Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.

@ryanbeckwith Sounds dystopian and inefficient. Can you imagine not being in the position to do this and having your account locked. What if you’re at a movie or a wedding? What if you’ve turned off notifications. Also, hackers could just have a stack of photos to use.

verification idea: all users must have avatars that are BeReal-style random selfies initiated by the app

@MollyJongFast You gotta get Ben Shapiro off of the graphic on your webpage!

@EberleNoel Have these people ever heard of washing their sheets?

@OccupyDemocrats I might if their “accept” button worked. Bad sign when they can’t even get basic webpage button coded correctly for mobile.

@cafedujord Also, hilarious because only about 1,000 feet of the town is actually on El Camino Real. The town hall complex and like five houses.

Councilmember Cole is talking about safety now, specifically around fire risk. Says they need to protect their residents from wildfires. (But again, the town hall site isn't in this area, it's on El Camino Real, a major arterial nowhere near the hills)

Evening, all! I’m once again attending a town council meeting in the hyperaffluent Bay Area suburb of Hillsborough (median household income $250k+) The town is finalizing their state mandated housing plan, and discussing penalties for noncompliance. I expect sparks to fly. 🧵

@louismirante @sam_d_1995 Anyone have a screenshot?

i mean I just want more dense housing so rents and carbon emissions go down sorry that YIMBYs are trying to actually influence elected officials instead of cosplay “the revolution”

@NathanJRobinson What’s the point of regulations that prevent much needed housing

Oh god the YIMBY astroturf movement has gotten its propaganda into Jacobin now. A lot of people I respect end up getting fooled by this YIMBY stuff. Guys it’s a fake movement whose whole purpose is to help developers avoid regulations. Don’t fall for it!

@cafedujord I’m pretty sure the hundreds of thousands of unhoused and underhoused people in would prefer either of these options to sleeping on the street, in their cars, in weekly hotels, or couch surfing. What a privilege to think these forms of housing are undesirable compared to that!

Reviewing the chat, and my dog just started barking for some reason...

Happy Saturday, Twitter! Last month, CA Governor @GavinNewsom signed several new, transformative housing bills into law to help combat the ever-worsening crisis. This morning, statewide NIMBY group Livable California gathers to, as the kids say, "cope and seethe." 🍿🧵

@mattyglesias @Noahpinion No, it is not just a zoning issue. Government directed development provides security from snags that can otherwise derail projects. Things like funding falling through, permits, changes in market conditions that would make a for profit developer abandon a project.

They key is the Singapore system -- have the govt. build condos and sell those off to private individuals, while retaining the ownership of the underlying land.

@Apple why can every other network connected device work with a less than ideal wifi connection, but HomePods freak the fuck out and become unusable?

@Buenobomb @UnitedToHouseLA No it won’t. How did you even come to a conclusion so wrong?

@UnitedToHouseLA This will reduce housing supply and make rents grow at unprecedented rates. Don’t vote on this measure.

ULA is an initiative written by experts, not politicians with an agenda. Learn more.

@metrolosangeles it would be nice if any of your busses were on time instead of the random appearances they seem to occasionally do.

@postoak_charles @the_transit_guy Depends on how you do it.

@the_transit_guy How much would that cost?

We need to nationalize our railroads immediately.

@DanielW1960 @kusssman @CarnegieMellon Also, my point still stands. The parents may be able to throw a fit and put a few obstacles in the way of paying for school. The school will not allow a parent to withdraw an adult child from school. They won’t even give them records like grades or class schedule.

@billyocracy @kusssman @CarnegieMellon They can stop paying the bills. How many college kids can pay for a 4 year education there?

A statement regarding recent social media posts by Uju Anya.

@DanielW1960 @kusssman @CarnegieMellon Students can be declared financially independent in many cases. This degree of control would likely qualify as abusive and may qualify too. usnews.com/education/best…

@kusssman @CarnegieMellon College students are adults, parents can’t “withdraw” them.

@CarnegieMellon this is not enough , You know what to do or I’ll be withdrawing my kids from that uni.

@BuffyWicks Thank you! This is AMAZING!

HOUSING VICTORY: It’s official, the Senate and Assembly have both passed #AB2011 and #SB6! These votes bring us one step closer to a pivotal moment for our state — the Governor’s signature will change the trajectory of the housing crisis in California! On to the Governor’s desk!
