@gatekeepchicago @jaketropolis @SheGoesByP Are you “Gatekeep Chicago from Families” now? 😂😭

@jaketropolis @SheGoesByP That’s what the suburbs are for now

Nope - I actually will die on the hill that we need the winters to prevent overpopulation lol

@KimChiSpicey @Scott_Wiener I’m not the one paying him for a blue check

@DeepDishhhLover @Scott_Wiener Yes, because every retweet is an endorsement of everything someone has ever said. Thank you for educating me on the rules of twitter. Also, by using this app, you endorse and agree with everything Elon Musk has ever said. Just fyi.

@Scott_Wiener’s record on his primary goal to “make housing more affordable in SF”. He started as a supe in 2010. Not only is he a fascist bigot, but he’s also a complete failure. His legislation is all vaporware with zero impact aside from enriching his corporate donors.

@becauseberkeley Everybody should ❤️

He looooves this

@KimChiSpicey @Scott_Wiener Something something horseshoe theory

@KimChiSpicey @Scott_Wiener Nice excuse for retweeting a racist nutjob

@bennycarlyle @RichardHanania Dysfunctional ass place made so by burdensome local zoning regulations

@DeepDishhhLover @RichardHanania Oak tree lined, safe suburbs with exceptional schools, fantastic parks, and high property values?

A Canadian court ruled that part of Vancouver still belonged to the Squamish. The Canadian government settled with the tribe by giving them 10 acres that used to belong to a branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Squamish are now building high-rises in their village, which is called Senakw, putting the rest of the city to shame. Vancouver is mostly single family housing. The new buildings tower over their neighbors. A Vancouver city councilman complains that the high-rises don't reflect “an Indigenous way of building.” But there's nothing they can do. Not the biggest indigenous rights advocate, but we need to give the Indians everything if this is what they'll do with the land.

@BrandonHarami Bro you realize the original tweet is a right winger? SMH at the people yall openly choose to coalition with lol

10 years of Wienerism

@bennycarlyle @GrahamSethMoor1 @RichardHanania That it flies in the face of free markets

@GrahamSethMoor1 @RichardHanania The problem with that being…?

@Tjernlund @dlennox701 @BCHL_Alberta @RichardHanania Fine, 80% of the city to shame. Happy?

@dlennox701 @BCHL_Alberta @RichardHanania The tweet said putting the rest of the city to shame. I would say that’s an inaccurate statement

@bennycarlyle @RichardHanania Now zoom out

@RichardHanania This might be an unfollow. What are you even talking about? Pure ignorance.

@v63sfx @KenjiCapital Good!

@KenjiCapital Who owns Safeway? Albertsons. Who owns Albertsons? Private Equity behemoths, Cerberus Capital Management, The Vanguard Group and BlackRock. They're not interested in housing anyone that "needs" housing. Nothing wrong with them building it. But, we changed laws to help them do it.

Imagine living above a Safeway... …two blocks from Ocean Beach. Dream location for a lot of people (Maybe a little too cold for me though 😂). Here's the proposal for the Outer Richmond Safeway in SF. Latest plans would transform a 3.3-acre site into: • 562 apartments • 112 affordable homes • A brand new Safeway • Retail space • Courtyards, playgrounds, and outdoor amenities I love these grocery store type developments because they're usually in walkable neighborhoods, with existing retail, and transit access. And in this case, you're also steps from one of the most beautiful coastlines in CA.

@CaseyJonas49853 @BumperCrop1 And also I grew up in exurban Dallas! Went to a school with 10 kids in my grade, I agree it sucked, but it’s still a million times better than growing up in a mud hut. Perspective is important.

@CaseyJonas49853 @BumperCrop1 There was no comparison mentioned between rural and urban? The point of the post is that rural to rural comparison is 100x more relevant for a more apt comparison of living standards between two countries than urban to urban.

Con respeto, disiento. Habiendo recorrido >200.000 km por el interior de EEUU dde 1999, donde más difiere la vida e/ese país y A.Latina es justamente en las zonas rurales, que sí son de 1er mundo. Ésta es x ej una escuela pública de un pueblo de 4.000 hab:

@txfblife Collin County property taxes go brrrrrrrr

Meanwhile in Texas, these are high school football stadiums The European mind cannot comprehend this

@createstreets @JMilei Truly my favorite city in LatAm

We don’t know if @JMilei plan will work or not but Buenos Aires is certainly a beautiful city which richly merits a renaissance

@CaseyJonas49853 @BumperCrop1 Bro is unfamiliar with rural Latin America 😂😭

@BumperCrop1 I went to a school like this in one of these towns, only smaller. There were almost zero academic or extracurricular opportunities besides the bare minimum required by law. You spend your whole childhood with the same 20-50 kids. It was mostly hell.

@bibliographing @StuLoren *10% year to year increase I mean. At least that’s what I saw working on RE projects in FL, 25% for commercial. Allows for some sense of a circuit breaker while avoiding the long run mess that CA has dug itself into.

@bibliographing @StuLoren I only bring yuppies up because they are probably the biggest net fiscal contributors in an urban economy who also get shafted by this policy. The idea of extremely low property tax caps is wholly unsustainable and detrimental (not that I’m opposed to like a 10% cap or something)

Look, our property taxes are too high- largely due to unsustainable pensions which are like throwing money into a black hole. But this idea is insane. You still need to pay for local government. Capping tax at 1% of purchase price would turn us into an immobile CA housing market. It would particularly screw younger families seeking first time housing at expense of older homeowners.

@bibliographing @StuLoren I don’t think this really adequately captures the other taxes a working age couple is contributing to the local economy vs an older homeowner who is just living off retirement and is using up large amounts of healthcare subsidies later on in life.

@DeepDishhhLover @StuLoren Well, no, because (a) most property taxpayers don’t use schools and (b) most people who do aren’t paying enough. If you have one kid in school and are paying less than $20k total/$10k to CPS, you’re a net fiscal drain.
