And just so we're 100% clear, @scottwiener.bsky.social's marquee law, SB35, which was aggressively opposed by the entire "Progressive" establishment in San Francisco has led to the construction of thousands of 100% subsidized homes for folks that need them

Connie Chan doesn't actually support changing the laws that would make MORE projects like 383 6th Street a reality, the "100% affordable housing" she is so fond of pursuing at all costs
Chan doesn't support working people, she just likes to use them as props

I’m so excited to see plans in the works to redevelop the Safeway I live across from to add over 500+ homes, an even larger Safeway store, and underground parking.
This will be a boon for the Richmond district and a massive step forward for our city!
It’s time to @growtherichmond.bsky.social 💪🏽

Excellent stuff. I might not agree with 100% of what Zohran Mamdani is proposing policy wise, but he was far and away the better choice compared to the atrocious candidate that Cuomo was.

Fun fact, Calvin Welch, Sue Hestor and co tried to NIMBY my multi-family home before it could be built.
They failed, but they killed some housing for seniors along the way.

And I cannot forget to thank the GOAT of housing, my State Senator @scottwiener.bsky.social for pushing, and negotiating, and fighting and advocating for not only current Californians who want to see the state actually tackle our astronomical housing costs, but for future Californians as well 🏳️🌈💙🏬

IT IS DONE! @gavinnewsom.bsky.social signed @scottwiener.bsky.social’s SB79 into law!
California has officially taken a big step towards setting statewide zoning standards and actually meaningfully tackling the rules that get in the way of our chronic housing shortage 🙏🏽🏗️🏠

Meanwhile, in @sftru.bsky.social #RideContest news, I’m making steady progress towards breaking into the top 100, and I’m keeping @myrnamelgard7.bsky.social and @peterhartlaub.bsky.social at bay 😅
I’ve also put sufficient distance between myself and my friends @raynell.bsky.social and Emma Hare 😝

The juxtaposition here between the billboard clamoring for preserving the neighborhood in amber forever, contrasted ACROSS THE STREET with the burned out husk of the Coit Liquors building is truly something else.

Halfway through #TransitMonth2025 and while picking up some groceries (and a delicious turkey sandwich) on my way home I hit two milestones:
