  1. Yeah San Francisco is a political machine anyways, whoever succeeds her will just hold the seat for decades like she has but may never develop her fundraising power. So I guess that’s going for her.
  2. Lol no, of course not - she is the matriarch of the party. My boy Scott Weiner is the most likely successor; he formed an exploratory committee but I have to think he’ll wait his turn. Which is a shame, because 1) he’s been the most prominent politician on housing issues in Sacramento as this issue has ascended to national attention and 2) he’s in his 50’s and still at the kids table. These boomers need to fuck off. Also, tell me this isn’t the San Francisco politician the people want.
  3. S&WB mad af about their sex dungeon being taken away.
  4. Dusty mad about Chas’s brother’s tweets.
  5. Housing is such a trip. I mean NIMBYism is understandable but the mental gymnastics people perform to act as though their opposition to development is anything but pure selfishness are absurd. Yesterday I listened to a bunch of boomers at a bar go on at length about how there is no housing supply crisis in California -there’s plenty of housing, but prices are just too high! (They had just left a town hall about opposing housing in the neighborhood).
  6. Eh, no. They all suck. It’s a different topic but climate change will radically change the wine industry. Burgundy and Champagne have already begun feeling the pain.
  7. That guy is a YIMBY organizer who goes to city hall meetings to live tweet NIMBY opposition to California’s recently bolstered housing mandates - that recent thread that went viral happened to be about supportive housing. It’s interesting to see the situation in Austin play out similar to housing fights in CA and NY - namely, the flat out denial of a supply issue in the first place from anti-growth contingents. Edit: but also different as well, as Greg Casar has, from what I’ve seen, been a bit of a YIMBY.
  8. Great account to follow in the trenches of the housing crisis.
  9. Those old hippies don’t like outsiders so there’s not much in Bolinas proper (I think Smiley’s is the local watering hole?), but it’s a great base for exploring Point Reyes. I think that’s actually an entry point for Alamere Falls, though I don’t think there will be much water at that time. In the area you’ve got the big Tomales Bay spots like Marshall Store and Hog Island (need reservations for the latter), but Point Reyes Station is also a cool little town to walk around. Like Due West Tavern in Olema as well.
  10. And the State of Jefferson!
  11. Maybe he needs 11 hours of sleep now.
  12. Apparently it happened before the story blew up, but more to the point what in the living fuck was Siri thinking getting into it?
  13. Gonna be underdressed in a few minutes tho.
