@MoMohler @darkvdred This is the 15th time I've seen this exact same post this week. Why the F is that?
English
@leftwick20 Ahhh ok I guess I assumed that meant like high end apartment buildings in downtown Austin

I think it would be good for the yimby cause if prominent yimbys weren't aggressive assholes on here

A 20yo kid with Down syndrome can work at Chic-Fil-A and make more than $20k/yr. Your oppression Olympics are no good here.

@devahaz @siddharthvader_ Based on the posts I’m seeing from the guy you qt’d, the entire west side. It’s not binary and this obviously already happened there to some degree, but I’ve been most shocked by the prices I’m seeing in the sunset and Richmond, relative to my expectations
English
@siddharthvader_ Where do you think gets absorbed into nicer neighborhood category this cycle?
English
I’ve seen two cycles of this and completely agree. Coveted neighborhoods just see floors increase. The question is which speculative gambles pay off. Does TL finally gentrify this cycle? 6th? Mission outskirts? That’s where people either make a ton or get burned when things turn.

San Francisco median single home prices over the last 20 years The last “bull market” was from 2012 to 2022, a ten year run For those positing that we’re in a bubble that's about to immediately burst, we are only in year *one* of this new up-market History isn't guaranteed to repeat, but in San Francisco it's been a cycle of 6-8 years of a roaring housing price escalation before a two year correction that gives up some of the gains. Massive boom, medium bust. Rinse and repeat. There is a no precedent for a "one year boom" If I had to venture, would say we are in the early days of the next San Francisco housing bull market. The AI company IPOs have yet to hit. There are so many startups that are on the verge of becoming massive companies. There is no virtually new supply of housing being built. There isn't even much interest among developers to build, despite eye popping rents and home prices. We could just be in year one of the boom, only now just catching up to 2022 nominal prices

@leftwick20 Agree almost 100% with this take, but wdym about venerating Texas suburban hell? Isn’t that the opposite of what they want?
English
@DrFleshdog @halaljew Agree it’s the best next to bagels n lox but it’s gotta be savory
English
@halaljew Our best dish aside from bagels is matzo brei and it's not close, sweet or savory
English
Really hate to side with this guy but he’s right. With the notable exception of bagels and lox (genuinely delicious), most Ashkenazi food is mediocre at best and much of it is downright inedible.
Nicholas Decker@captgouda24
I had the opportunity to try authentic Ashkenazi food today at MIT! Meatballs, mashed potatoes, dill gherkins, gefilte fish, carrots. Absolutely terrible. Even the meatballs and mashed potatoes were bad. Difficult to believe God would make his chosen people eat that.

If you’re in SF this weekend, go see Mere Mortals at @sfballet. Absolutely stunning.
sfballet.org/productions/me…
Tip: if you can’t find good or cheap seats, there’s a $10 standing-room ticket on the orchestra floor that’s totally worth it.

@errantp @FreieMotte @DatingDannyNYC @c4pric0rnrising well for instance some people with ostomies need space to kneel/crouch next to the toilet to empty them, or room to change the bag, but it can also be less about needing space and more about urgency/control and needing to use whatever stall is available ASAP
English
okay but actually what are you supposed to do in this situation asking for a future me
Wally P. McSniff@WallaceMcSniff
No no no no no no this can’t be happening

@spencercamp @xurbanxcowboyx 1 person in almost 170m rides, seems much safer than driving to me 👍
English
@xurbanxcowboyx Last year someone was stabbed to death while riding Muni. You can’t have public transit without public order. In San Francisco that doesn’t exist. That’s why people refuse to take public transit.
English
I will say, as an SF techbro, one thing about a certain kind of SF tech worker that annoys me is the "I'm too good to use public transit" type
Kinda person who lives in Pac Heights / North Beach and owns a car/ubers everywhere then complains about traffic
English
this discourse further proves one thing:
house and techno are not EDM.
this is a bass music mindset and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this philosophy for that style of music.
this will never be true for house or techno, we are comparing oil and water here.

Openers should present themselves the way they want & play what they want Headliners should know what they’re booking & support the next generation’s. Those headliners were once openers & they didn’t become headliners by nerfing their sets
English
@hoodlum__media @blowchakk Sort of an argument for it if you think about the 2-step uk rnb of the 90s which is basically pop music, compared to 4x4 ukg which came more from garage house, but it’s still pretty silly and oversimplified
English
@errantp @blowchakk this is the funniest byproduct of this argument by far
English
@StoopsBelly @vmWareWolf @CaptMarkKelly Maybe some of the disconnect is where you live. I’m in the Bay Area, where there are older people who have been in big houses that have appreciated massively for a long time. If they can’t pay a fair property tax, they could easily move into a very nice condo
English
@StoopsBelly @vmWareWolf @CaptMarkKelly ?? No one is suggesting they should be put out on the streets. If they can’t afford to pay a fair property tax on their massively appreciated asset, they could simply sell it and move to a place they can afford
English
Seniors on fixed incomes can't absorb rising costs the way others can. In Arizona, 1 in 5 residents is over 65. Washington doesn't talk about that enough. My Cost of Living Emergency Act is designed to protect them and the retirement they earned.
English
@StoopsBelly @CaptMarkKelly I’m mostly being facetious, but your generation pulled the ladder up after you, shit like Prop 13 in California is responsible for virtually no one under 50 being able to buy a home. You can’t pull this shit and be indignant when the next generation hates you
English
@errantp @CaptMarkKelly If the young family wants a home: work for it, earn it, and buy it. How is it “just” to steal it from someone who already did that? And where exactly would you put the person who earned and purchased the home?
English
@uhshanti Biden's FP wasn't the best by any means—6/10 at best—but you are base this due to Israel and Palestine (you can throw in the Afghanistan withdrawal which was probably his worst FP disaster).
Issue is normal people think it's funny to look like this and hold pro-Gaza views
English
I genuinely appreciate how much Tommy Vietor and Ben Rhodes have been consistently unwilling to let Biden’s foreign policy guys off the hook
gato fumante@KweenInYellow
Pretty fascinating discussion between Tommy Vietor and the VP of JStreet Ilan Goldenberg, if just to illustrate how divorced from reality liberal Zionsts are to the point of genuine delusion. I have some nitpicks, but Vietor actually does a pretty good job cutting through this guy's bad-faith nonsense to the point where Tommy actually loses his patience and kinda snaps at him. (1/3)
English
@StoopsBelly @CaptMarkKelly In a just society, they would be marched out of their homes to make room for a young family
English
@CaptMarkKelly The worst part about being a senior is having to lose your home due to property taxes. People 65 and over should be 100% exempt from property taxes on their primary residence.
