@DanielPAldrich I updated the colors to make the items more obvious that have *higher* support locally than nationally.

@KrampusSnail Take care - I hope you feel better soon! 😔

Good news: It's not covid, so I'm not risking long-term covid complications.
Bad news: RSV is a nasty, nasty cold. I've been coughing for a week, coughed so much I sprained a rib cage muscle, now it feels like a dagger every time I cough, which is often.

Hi again. It is your loyal Bart Basel 2022 photographer. Here are a few of my favorites!
First is by far the best costume in attendance, a real life clipper card!

I would like us to stop pretending like legislation needs “60 votes to pass”. Every single time this issue comes up, journalists should point out that the legislation only requires 50 votes to pass, but that some senators would rather filibuster it and stall all operations.

This is such a good piece of explanatory journalism on a question that has been nagging me and I’ve seen answered nowhere else:

It’s time to remove the remaining Central Freeway, south of Market Street. Its removal would be a huge benefit to San Francisco.
That’s why I just sent @CaltransHQ a letter asking it to evaluate the cost & logistics of tearing this remnant freeway down.⬇️ drive.google.com/file/d/1qDBIKN…

The SFMTA response to the Burrito Plan unfortunately reads like a bunch of excuses
Kyle Grochmal@KCGrock
The Valencia Burrito Plan (@burritojustice) was just analyzed by @SFMTA_Muni. They say it isn't feasible because it violates the SFFD's arbitrary 26' clearance rule. And it would take 3 - 5 years to implement. To which I say: do you know how many years we've been waiting?!

@AMCHelps really sad they were unable to show us Blank Panther in IMAX at Metreon 16 at 11 today. 30 mins into the movie it began pausing / stuttering (as if it were buffering). They attempted restart, and had the same problem. Extremely disappointing for flagship screen -fix it!

* = that had to be able to get approved by the BoS

Not sure why we have planning commissioners who talk disparagingly about one of our newest SF residential neighborhoods
Robert Fruchtman@_fruchtose
Sue Diamond: "We are a city where every resident values the small neighborhood they live in. . . I think we should avoid doing anything that recreates Mission Bay on the west side."

San Francisco has spent 50 years enacting anti-housing policies — generating a debilitating housing crisis.
Certain Supervisors are now pointing fingers at the state, saying we’re not doing enough for affordable housing policy & funding.
That accusation is simply false: 🧵
Robert Fruchtman@_fruchtose
Preston is criticizing Scott Wiener saying advocates asked, "Why don't you just do a streamlining bill for affordable housing?" That wouldn't pass. Real estate interests have captured Sacramento and their goal (and Wiener's goal) is "to deregulate market-rate housing."

Yesterday's big Board of Supervisors hearing on the housing element was supposed to provide clarity.
Instead, it was a farce. YIMBY members are furious. We are not going to accept a housing element which blatantly lies to the state.
Robert Fruchtman@_fruchtose
TLDR: The Planning Dept says the housing element is fine. The Board of Supervisors says the plan is compliant. Big questions go unanswered: • Why is the city refusing to apply feedback from @California_HCD? • What proof does Planning have that the policy changes will work?
English
Thank you @mattdorsey!! It's refreshing to have a member of the BOS not shy away from addressing our housing crisis.
Robert Fruchtman@_fruchtose
Oh wow. Dorsey says he's going to introduce legislation to remove some of the constraints identified in the housing element, and to create Housing Sustainability Districts like the housing element specifies!
