This LA Times story gets at a major issue-- the reality is that there are professional anarcho-leftist douchebags who show up at every protest with their faces concealed and try to make it as violent and offensive to ordinary Americans as possible. us.yahoo.com/news/protester…

San Diego's ADU program delivered hundreds of new homes in just two years, thanks to its simple rules. Now, politicians want rollbacks with fees and restrictions, especially hurting low-income access to wealthy areas. Why sabotage success? pacificresearch.org/san-diegos-adu…

San Diego cracked the code w/ ADUs: more lower-cost homes in previously exclusive neighborhoods Now City Council wants to kill the program. Not because it isn't working, but because it's TOO successful. Unforced error. Read Saad Asad latest op-ed: sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/06/10/opi…

I fully recognize some buildings in North Beach are historic, but if you overreach, you do lose the actual charm of a living, breathing neighborhood. In Boston, the North End, a similar former Italian neighborhood, feels like a museum for tourists. No families, no young people,
