It would have to be a low enough ABV that it would be considered NA in any other state.
If you opposed the Marina Safeway project as proposed (I did), then you absolutely must push to develop opportunity sites like this one to their maximum potential. Otherwise, you’re not pro-housing, you’re just opportunistic. sfyimby.com/2026/02/plan...

SF politics can be deeply cynical, so it’s heartening to see someone tell the truth, at great personal cost, simply because “the community deserves to know.” www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/j...
If you spent 2024 backing someone who campaigned on bringing the National Guard into SF, you probably should sit this one out.
This is reasonable (though I’d set that number at 80) but it won’t happen. I tried to get CADEM to even consider looking into a mandatory retirement age and they unceremoniously killed the proposal a week and a half ago without so much as a single phone call or email.
“…open by 2037…”

San Francisco Democratic Party member @ericmkingsbury.bsky.social shares some of his thoughts on lessons that San Francisco Democrats and candidates for public office can take away from the successful Mayoral primary campaign of Zohran Mamdani:
sfstandard.com/opinion/2025...
My hot take (that no one asked for) on why SF doesn’t have a Mamdani: the SF left’s stubborn attachment to housing policies that prevent real growth traps them in a vision rooted in nostalgia for a fictionalized past and keeps them from presenting a compelling one for a better future.
It’s so good! Have fun!
The first political organizing I ever did was as a 14 year old in 2003 getting my whole class to walk out in protest of invading Iraq. Even to a kid the case was so obviously thin and the idea so transparently stupid.
The only defense against authoritarianism is the people. Silence is not an option. We must stand up and stand united. As JFK was fond of saying, the hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis preserve their neutrality.

The real one know what this means. Should we get people together to go this year?
California Democrats postpone ‘difficult conversation’ about age of party leaders www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...
The more you read the stronger the case for age limits gets:

RBG didn’t step down and we lost Roe.
Biden didn’t step down and we're losing our democracy.
Pretending age doesn’t matter in power has cost us more than we can afford.
The Forest Hill Station still has a payphone, so you could use that to call into the speakeasy!
Corruption is bad, full stop, but it also undermines confidence in government and makes people cynical. That's why Democrats have to be extra vigilant and police our own house aggressively, otherwise, we're no better than Trump's GOP.
The particularly shitty thing about corruption - and using your position and/or City money to enrich yourself or others in your orbit *is* corrupt - is that it overshadows all the good work done by competent, hard-working people who spend years working long hours to deliver for the city they love.
I’d bet it’s mostly AZ, UT, and CO.
Between 1970 and 1980, the West as defined by the US Census - the states of AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, NM, OR, UT, WA, and WY - added an average of 486 new units of housing per 1000 new residents. Between 2010 and 2020 that number was 342 new units per 1000 residents.
In SF in 1976, homes in tony neighborhoods went for $250-$500K ($1.4-$2.8 million in today’s $). Frustration over supervisors living in those neighborhoods led to district elections. Today, the median home price in SF is $1.4 million across all neighborhoods. www.washingtonpost.com/archive/poli...
