Good primer on how California housing development laws have changed in the past few years, for better or worse, but also how those changes are unlikely to usher in broad affordability.

"*This* project is all but certainly going to get financing because *this* project is exceptional. But not every project is exceptional... If merely approving a project resulted in its construction, San Francisco would have scores of thousands of additional built units. It doesn’t."

25-story Marina Safeway behemoth, inconceivable even to sci-fi futurists, looking very real

D2 supe and mayor can shake their fists at the proposed high-rise — but little more. Neither joined last week's call for a Safeway boycott.

We're proud to have been a part of #NoKings, which is now the largest single-day protest in American history. We helped people make protest signs thanks to Cliff's Variety, handed out our new voter guide zine, and talked with countless people eager to vote and defend democracy. The energy was extraordinary!

Thanks to #NoKings3 SF organizers @IndivisibleSF and 50501 SF for putting on an amazing fair of organizations ready to turn protest into action.

Not April Fool: okay, I think that clinches my vote for Chakrabarti over Chan unless there are major surprises. You can't be mealy-mouthed on enabling a genocidal regime. (Of course, Wiener is much worse on this issue, and I will vote for Chan in the general if it's those two who advance.)
