@DPearsonPHL @_NotA_Bot_ @JamesPhl96 As an aside: I've occasionally seen on reddit that despite the shortage, people are spending months in interview processes for being a bus driver for SEPTA. I am curious how much of the shortage is driven driven by throughput problems, and if such a bonus scheme would work.

@ninthhostage It's actually very easy to dress well but men prefer to not think about their clothes at all. It costs more - J Crew big chinos are more expensive than Target skinny chinos - but is completely worthwhile

@Pcrawjr @jongeeting Theres two aspects to these bills. One makes L&I do proactive inspections for rental licensing and livability. Seems fine? The other makes it harder to evict bad tenants, which will have second order effects that swamp the first order protections for good tenants.

@jongeeting And why is not the example you’d want to hang your hat on? You can’t be pro-development and anti-making it possible to operate a development for profit?

@_NotA_Bot_ This is San Francisco politics man. The desire to end capitalism, but without the means to do so, making everything worse off for people along the way. Its a good thing council keeps the city poor, else you'd see SF levels of displacement, too.

@_NotA_Bot_ 4 properties arent important, no. But Gauthier is showing her true colors here: developers arent allowed to "benefit" (ie build housing) and the school district can't benefit (ie fund education). It is emotional, sure, but politicians are supposed to be able to see thru that.

@_NotA_Bot_ And yes, obviously if she were a YIMBY she would get voted out. Her coalition that helped her defeat Blackwell are a bunch of deontological socialist Penn professors who want to prevent developers from reducing the value of their single family homes.

@_NotA_Bot_ This is 1000% deontological socialism. If she were a socialist focused on outcomes, she would do way more to have the govt actively involved in housing development. She had done nothing to accomplish this, and is actively impeding that with this rezoning.

Idk why gas prices are so culturally salient in america. You could drive an hour a day and it probably comes to less than $3k/year. Is it because they put the price on billboards along the road?

@_NotA_Bot_ If she has any comprehension about how housing works, she does not show it. She prefers deontological socialism over an outcomes oriented approach to housing and affordability. A shame that someone who bucked the Dem machine is no better than the machine on outcomes.

@_NotA_Bot_ The issue at hand is that Gauthier treats housing like a San Francisco progressive does: as a massive conspiracy. Housing is expensive because of a conspiracy of developers and now apparently the school district to rip people off by building housing for profit.

there are places in the world like Haiti and Papua New Guinea that really just aren't capable of self governance right now, where the state is so weak 20 years ago we'd have a UN mission running them, but now there's just nothing unless a regional power decides to do it

The UN estimates that 90% of Port-au-Prince is now controlled by criminal groups, using rape as a 'weapon of terror'. At MSF's clinic, 58% of survivors experienced a group assault, with an average of 3 perpetrators. ggd.world/p/can-women-wa…

@turkey__penguin Also, thank you for being literally the only person will to discuss plans for making CAHSR better. Every other supporter thinks everything is going swimmingly.

@IanEliLee Exactly. I don't like the pro transit people acting like this is good. This is not a victory for transit simply because its being built. It is a complete failure, but pro transit people are too reactionary towards anti transit conservatives to admit that.

@coryfromphilly I’m not a Californian so disregard if you want but as a protransit guy in a red state it really hurts the cause that this was approved by a vote in 2008 and nothing has opened. Almost 20 years and billions spent. Not a good look.
