Progressives can’t even sell Californians on price controls and decarceration. No wonder the US took a rightward tilt. Progressives need to rewrite their policy papers with evidence-based ideas: 1) Lower the cost of living (build more housing) 2) Reduce recidivism (shorter

California voters not only rejected Prop 33 rent control expansion, but shot it down in resounding fashion (62% voting "no" with 95% of vote in) -- indicating bipartisan alignment that rent controls backfire on renters. This was third time in 6 years CA voters have shot down

Turns out progressives do really poorly in high turnout elections in San Francisco. Time to pack up this hard left Marxist ideology and let the moderates heal the Democratic Party by restoring sanity and common sense, starting right here in San Francisco. #boomloop

Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like “Defund the Police” or “From the River to the Sea” or “Latinx.” There is more to lose than

Very classy concession, thank you London Breed. Alas, it's a new dawn, it's a new day for San Francisco. No more doom loop—excited for Daniel Lurie 丹尼爾·羅偉 to champion our boom loop!

To maintain the newly secured majority on the SF Board of Supervisors, the moderate coalition must either find a way to unwind Prop K or identify an alternative candidate to replace Joel Engardio in 2026, as he faces a high risk of losing reelection. The tone-deaf extremist bike

The more I observe, the more it seems pragmatism has become a radical position.

You are, unfortunately, out of touch, Senator Scott Wiener. While I hold Joel Engardio in high regard, it appears his constituents do not share the same sentiment any longer, despite his commendable efforts with the night markets and other initiatives. His chances of re-election are now

The intersection of the urbanist, YIMBY, anti-car, and biker coalition has become a massive liability to the pro-housing movement. These keyboard warrior ideologues, pushing zero-sum “solutions,” are so toxic they often create more friction than benefits for those of us that

The key takeaway for San Francisco’s moderate coalition from this past election is straightforward: pragmatism should be prioritized over ideological purity and personality cults.

The far left—illustrated by the lonely long left tail in the graph below—has no overlap with a supermajority of Americans, who reject far-left policy positions on immigration and public safety. We can either pander to the lonely long left tail that gave us Donald Trump or we

The drug-enablist fundamentalism in this misleading email from Coalition on Homelessness’s director is breathtaking. Why might neighbors be skeptical of Permanent Supportive Housing? Perhaps being called “very hateful” for opposing drug-tolerant tenant rules helps explain it. (1/6)

Thanks to their short-sighted campaign to close the Great Highway, San Francisco's moderate leaders harmed their own agenda. — Cyrus sfstandard.com/opinion/2025/0…

DeepSeek is legitimately impressive, but the level of hysteria is an indictment of so many. The $5M number is bogus. It is pushed by a Chinese hedge fund to slow investment in American AI startups, service their own shorts against American titans like Nvidia, and hide sanction

frustrating when people incoherently credit san francisco's slow turnaround to "AI" (???), rather than a well-funded years-long political strategy that sought and then delivered several recalls, a new DA, a moderate board, and a new mayor

To meet its housing goals San Francisco must build 10,000 new housing units a year for the next 8 years. Anyone think that's likely? beyondchron.org/the-housing-el… J.K. Dineen Patrick Hoge Cyrus
