  1. Think it will move in that direction after finishing up with land acknowledgements.
  2. Duh, you’re right - I was thinking of Justine.
  3. Ain’t dere no mo.
  4. I personally like spending a leisurely afternoon in da Point. Old Point is the main bar and they sometimes have music. Crown and Anchor a nice pub. Dry Dock has solid po boys and some salty Yats hanging out at the bar. That’s honestly about it, but walking along the levee on a nice day is great.
  5. ^^^Me and the boys back in Gtown trying to find a single bar we used to frequent back in 2010 #ripSaloun
  6. That’s a really nice house - think it will go closer to $3M based on comps, but to your point that’s a huge house for Berkeley and relatively not a bad deal compared to the nicer neighborhoods of Houston, Dallas and Austin (especially).
  7. Someone’s really interested in Berkeley!
  8. He warmed up last night, right? This is not comforting.
  9. No one is because there is no feasible way to end it, in part because of the self destructive nature of rent control itself.
  10. Yes, chief, I just explained the difference to you. You are on the wrong side of history on this one by basically every metric. edit: lol “how would you know” it’s just math at a very direct point that we in California hone in on every year. lol “but it’s NYC” like 2/2s in Palo Alto don’t go for $2m, GTFO.
  11. Yeah, no. 1. Doubling down on rent control - yes, maintaining status quo and advocating for more (rent control on all housing regardless of construction date and vacancy control as well). We have decades of research on how disastrous this is, with St Paul providing us with real time data. Pure Left NYMBYism. edit: you had this absurd notion that rent control being long established it was a good thing - to be clear all data has shown is has not been overall except for the direct incumbent renters who benefited. No HCOL jurisdiction with rent control has maintained affordability over the last few decades. They also usually downzoned. What a coincidence. 2. lol You’re not going to set me straight with anything. Market rate development is about $1k/sq ft in San Francisco and when the city gets involved it goes to $1.3k/sq ft. Same elsewhere - No one disputes this. No one serious, at least. You cannot spend your way out of the housing crisis. 3. “Concerned neighbors” and labor unions. Google CEQA and have yourself a time. Still riding high off this victory:
  12. Was extremely brief for the topic, but it was last month (below). As housing affordability is my top political issue, I find the blowback on this thread (not from you) quite amusing.
  13. I had atl at least one post specifically breaking down his housing policy in way too much detail to the point where I apologized for derailing the thread. If that was incoherent to you, that’s a personal problem. As Donald Trump should show, simply being loud and insulting does not mean you are right.
  14. That’s…it? I’m genuinely curious here, because I’ve offered detailed critiques as to why Zohran is running an amazing campaign but would disastrous figure for the Democratic Party solely in terms of affordability, and it’s just “racism”? Soggy progs are crazy, man. That’s the problem with the Democratic Party.
  15. Show your work. Did you even read that interview? The dynamics of non-means tested rent control are extremely fucked up, and Zohran himself basically conceded that in his incoherent, rambling response. But really, damn he has come a long way in a short time in polishing his message. Very impressive.
  16. Nope, that’s not it.
  17. Even though he is an awful human being, he is 100% correct - do you understand that?
  18. The Ivy League Look was nonpartisan. Daniel Patrick Moynihan comes to mind as a contemporary Dem example. HW was the GOAT though. There’s a great photo shoot contrasting his rumpled sack suit and prep tie look against James Baker’s very boxy, modern suit.
