  1. 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.
  2. Great account to follow in the trenches of the housing crisis.
  3. 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.
  4. And the State of Jefferson!
  5. Maybe he needs 11 hours of sleep now.
  6. Apparently it happened before the story blew up, but more to the point what in the living fuck was Siri thinking getting into it?
  7. Gonna be underdressed in a few minutes tho.
  8. This whole shitshow in the past few pages can be summed up by the “Tang” argument in season 2.
  9. Geez, would’ve been very nervous sabering that. Clean cut too.
  10. Picked a good weekend to come in town, Fogust broke for a few days.
  11. Rich Table is one of the best in the city. More of a special occasion spot for us bc of the tasting menu, need to go soon. If you liked that cooking, their old chef de cuisine opened his own spot, Ernest, which is a little more casual. Radhaus is in Fort Mason (aka Frat Mason), it is kid friendly and is a good spot. Usually on Fridays they have live music and food trucks in the complex but I checked and it doesn’t look like it’s going on right now. If y’all are walking around, recommend checking out the new Francisco Park. Also, the new Presidio tunnel tops have a big playground and usually food trucks/bars on weekends. Parking is pretty easy.
  12. Some strong fetty leans right there.
  13. Love High Hat. You able to check out Pigeon and Whale while you were on Freret?
  14. At the Big Six level, almost everything goes to legacies and feeder schools, which have number caps and this the girls battle over all summer. My wife didn’t like one candidate from her HS because of her reputation so put her picture on the rear entrance of the house to make a point. I was never able to find her, but I’ll always regret not managing to run into “Backdoor Ellie”.
  15. Yes, a waste of money, but in the more fucked up sense that it’s a futile exercise for most of rush for big southern schools is done by HS graduation. The moms at my wife’s high school began doing volunteer sorority prep classes junior year (before you go to Round Up, duh) and she thought that was the most normal thing in the world.
