Get BARTmogged, gasmaxxers!!
people are perfectly willing to blame everything else on racism (which is fair) EXCEPT housing shortages, which are always somehow a conspiracy theory that has nothing to do with racism. Surprise! It's all racism, actually!
What people don't understand is that Little Tokyo gets little buildings but Big Tokyo gets big buildings.
Missing Massive Transit-Oriented Development ποΈ
Are you tired of your watered-down triplex bills not producing much? Are you trying to downzone townhouse FAR to artifically force 'plexes to pencil?
Consider upzoning for 1,000 units per acre on top of a subway stop instead
Thinking again about how I got an email from the JFCS Holocaust Center attacking Scott Wiener for (accurately) calling the razing of Gaza a genocide, but not a word about the invasion of Minneapolis that was then at its peak.
Left YIMBY total victory btw

Proud to see that my representatives in Sacramento, Asm. Wicks (@buffywicks.bsky.social) and Sen. Jesse Arreguin (@jessearreguin.bsky.social) both received better than perfect scores on the @streetsforall.org 2025 Mobility Report Card.
Check out your legislators!

Crude Oil WTI (OIL) o Real-time derived - Currency in USD 111.16 β’ Real-time Data β’ 18:09:50 +20.26
there is something poetic about how MAGAs in their 12 mpg F-150s will be hit the hardest while coastal libs who take transit will have the least exposure to skyrocketing oil prices
ββ¦disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folksβ¦ββ @nondriver.bsky.social
Donβt use accessibility βas a political football.β
Bluesky post from Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan: 1) E-bikes are a fun and eco-friendly way to get around, but higher-speed riders arenβt always following the rulesβand that can put everyone at risk. Since 2023, there have been nearly twice as many e-bike fatalities as regular bike fatalities, even with fewer overall injuries.
Maddening to see such obfuscation from the author of a bill that will criminalize people biking while doing nothing to address unsafe driving.
The cause of the vast majority of deaths while biking or e-biking is drivers in CARS. If the Assemblymember truly cared about safety, sheβd regulate cars.
And now the third crane is almost deconstructed, phase 1 of SenΜΓ‘αΈ΅w is nearing completion.

The horror!
Why is the city of Los Angeles stopping affordable housing during a housing crisis?
New for the Nebulized! Cities and freeways donβt mix. Here are 12 top offenders we should be doing something about

the entire pitch of Cuomo was that sure he's a loathsome sex pest but he has what it takes to stand up to Trump, and then the hot leftist starts every phone call with "what's up big dog" and gets Trump to do whatever he wants.
Senate Bill 79: A Triple Hit: Environmental Degradation, Anti-Democracy, and Declining Affordability
me: building more housing near transit is good because it makes housing more affordable and reduces car ownership
the Sierra club, for some reason: actually this is horrible and must be stopped at all costs.
Yep, relying on BART -> 22 OR 36 transfer is less reliable than a single seat ride on the F or J to Emeryville so I'll take the bus either way if there isn't bridge traffic.
F bus is how I regularly get into the city. Its also well located for getting to the Moscone Center for conferences.
We need to stop reinventing the wheel we know how to build stacked, larger, family sized homes on a single lot. No need to get more creative, or overthink this. Just build what we always have. Theyβll sell, they are beloved, they need to be allowed again
regional transit connections map, lots of transit on it across the whole Bay
The Bay Area's new transit map is out and it comes with one incredibly exciting change: parks accessible by transit services!
Let's talk regional wayfinding to parks and destinations π§΅
It should become California's rallying cry, that we will build up our cities so anyone can find safe refuge here.
I'm sorry, someone is running for the Democratic ticket saying that he was wrong to lead on marriage equality?
Banning investor ownership of housing does not reduce home prices; but it does raise rents and neighborhood incomes while reducing the number of immigrants in a given neighborhood. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
Incredible stuff. Left NIMBYs arenβt much different than right wing NIMBYs when presented clear evidence that theyβre wrong. I donβt know what it is about housing that turns peoples brains off and makes them into illogical morons

God I hate traffic
BREAKING: The CA Democratic Party β its 3,500 grassroots delegates β voted to endorse me for Congress! Our local SF grassroots delegates previously voted 77.5% to endorse me.
Onward to the fight for our democracy & for bold policies to make peopleβs lives more affordable.
Thank you Democrats!
