'If SF listens to small business owners and empowers us to reinvent the city from the bottom up, we can achieve this transformation together.”

Opinion I The San Francisco Standard

It should not be this hard to start a small business in San Francisco. Pay attention this November; let's elect people who will fix this nightmare! No more anti-business as usual.

The Coastal Commission claimed they approve 'hundreds' of homes in the Coast every year. I asked them for the data to prove it. They responded saying they won't send me that. Instead, they asked me to comb their public agendas. I'll let you decide if they're telling the truth.

In SF, a few seething racists co-opted a Supervisor and others in City of San Francisco over who can open what in the Mission. As if Mexican cities don’t have hip coffee shops, yoga, vegan restaurants and cool boutiques? They do. Tens of thousands of them. Calle 24 is a criminal gang. Klan 2.0

YIMBY, NIMBY, or a secret third thing (definitely still a NIMBY but in denial)

'For all the rigmarole you have to go through to apply for BMR (below-market-rate units) … if I were a renter there would be very little motivation for me to take advantage of that,' Gilman said.

Once again, process kills us. We must prioritize outcomes.

2024 Jane Kim: we should build market-rate housing in high income neighborhoods.

2018 Jane Kim: showing up to high income neighborhoods to oppose a statewide bill that would upzone areas around transit, including high income areas.

there was a group of 4 tourists at millbrae going to SF

theyre about to buy caltrain tickets to use bart, i show them to the bart machines

tell them they each need an $3 clipper card and 5.50 fare each way or they can try to get a card on their phones for free

they took uber

there’s zero good reason why all Bay Area transit lacks the “tap credit card to pay” mechanism that NYC has for its transit

We need to hit the Reset button in San Francisco. It’s called an election.

Please tune in for local affairs on Nov 2024.

Much of San Francisco downtown looks like the city just gave up on itself. Drug addicts openly doing fentanyl and passed out everywhere, mentally ill screaming, homeless sprawled out everywhere, dilapidated empty storefronts and trash everywhere.

I've been here for 6 months and

Oh my lord of the rings the line for the library already started

Why do you continue to lie about what is going on here ⁦Coalition on Homelessness⁩

Being able to walk somewhere useful is the ultimate amenity for any neighborhood.

I like to call this “abolish bedtime leftism”

will destroying parking meters stop any wars? no, it just reduces municipal revenue that goes to important public services and will be a pain to fix for some government employee.

YIMBYs talk about increasing the supply of homes because you cannot redistribute your way out of a shortage.

Wait?
You mean like in a real business deal? This is a simple idea that could have major impacts.
There may be a “new normal” of common sense leadership coming to city hall…

The least they could do is take away her license forever.

We should be less afraid to take away peoples’ driving privileges when they engage in dangerous behavior, especially in cities with robust transportation alternatives.

Just because people like Aaron Peskin call themselves progressives does not make it true. Good reporting should expose that

So frustrating that so many reporters buy the lie that opposing new housing is 'progressive.'

Creating an artificial scarcity of a basic human right to inflate property values & protect the views of wealthy homeowners is as regressive as it gets!!!!
