What goes through people's minds when 200 of 210 replies are people saying "this is a terrible thing to say". Is there any self-reflection? Do you ever say "hm, maybe I didn't get this right."?

For the next 10 years (I live in SF) -- I don't want to hear a peep about how I need to conserve an ounce of water. Build reservoirs, or stop building more housing in the desert. Done.

Ban electric stoves. They don't work during power outages, and put extra pressure on the already-stressed energy grid. They are also often used from 4p to 9p when you should NOT be using electricity.

The idea that Whole Foods didn't "think it through" when they put the store here is ridiculous. Patience with the failed progressive experiment is getting thin.

BTW -- we should all conserve water. But if that amount of rain isn't enough to not be in a drought -- something's not right with our storage plan.

Defund the corrupt non-profits, and fund the police. SF cops are good people. I meet them in the Mission -- they are young, from every background, and trying to make something of themselves and the city they are working in.

Defund the homeless nonprofits -- we pay them $1 billion a year, and, well, you see the results. Use 1/10 of that money to fund the police. The Mission police officers seem great -- all backgrounds, working hard to make SF a little bit safer.

Great -- but we've over-served the 20 something cyclists. There's already bike lanes everywhere in the Mission. A lot of immigrant families in the Mission would prefer a focus on crime over bike lane

See "car-free Market". Businesses up and down Valencia have been reporting business down 30% to 50%. No one asked for this bike lane. It would have been hard to kill Valencia, but they're doing it.

What does a journalist think when 9 out of 10 replies say (1) You are wrong: (2) I am an eyewitness to what you are wrong about; (3) There is an obvious reason (people don't report crime anymore) for your being wrong? Do they rethink their reporting?

No rational person who isn't making $ from it believes this. We need to stop the 2 lies: (1) It's housing (no, it's drugs); (2) They are from SF (no, they came here for the free $ and easy drug access). Arrest dealers / help drug tourists get home.

This seems spectacularly stupid. SF keeps making itself a destination for bad people. Of course drug dealers go where they can't be deported. Of course junkies go where there is free cash and access to drugs. This is not some complex dynamic. It's incentives 101.

The mail trucks cost the same. "USPS placed its order in March 2022, at a value of $2.98 billion, for 50,000 NGDVs, of which at least 10,019 will be the battery-electric variant; the average per-unit cost of an NGDV is $59600."

You guys do a great job. But this isn't 'folks'. It's a very specific group of people: Out of town drug addicts who come here for the cash and easy drug access. I guarantee it wasn't someone in one of those buildings throwing trash around.

The police budget is 1/3 the homeless budget. Cut the homeless budget 2/3 to get to parity.

@TheMarinaTimes
The home building industry and homeless NGOs use the term homeless to force you to conclude it's a housing problem. If it's the more correct "out-of-town drug tourists", you reach a different conclusion (help them go home, shut down the drug dealers).

There is no tech worker in SF government, as far as I know. No tech worker -- from entry level engineer to CEO -- has ever deployed a single dollar of the $14 billion SF budget. The tech workers definitely helped generate the money -- but, no, did not spend it.

Can we also put the $1 billion a year we spend on homeless each year "on hold" until this is resolved? Since, per this judge, it results in "no improvement".

That bike lane is a disaster. When the street was closed this weekend , pedestrians were tripping on the weird raised things. Some bikes were cruising at speed down the lane while pedestrians thought they were safe as the street was “blocked”.

I will say one thing. "40% of beforetimes", no way. It's much less than that. The lunch lines where I go near South Park are at 20% (I'm being generous). Also 50% of lunch places are gone. So, with math, 10%.

I just went by 24th StreetSF BART plaza (see time stamp). There is no way any responsible adult would traverse that zombie apocalypse to get into the BART station. For all intents and purposes, 24th Street BART should be considered a closed station already.

Landlords are already hesitant to lend to anyone who isn't a <30 year old couple, where one works at Google the other at Goldman. I've noticed most leftists (or whatever we call them) never seem to be able to think 1/2 a chess move ahead.

I did the same -- Trevor Chandler seems super reasonable, and seems to sincerely care about D9.
I maxed out to Trevor Chandler and recommend you consider doing the same. Common sense can rise in D9 in November of 2024 with Trevor's leadership.

is right. Crime is massively up when you actually look at data. Putting aside the fact no one reports crime now (why bother?) It's a denominator effect. X crimes above the line against Y people below -- but Y is now much lower. See

Won't this make landlords take even less risks on tenants who aren't 100% sure thing credit scores? This seems like a blow to low income residents. This seems like an obvious consequence -- not even an unintended one.
