Also, the most drastic change made to the Richmond was downzoning it in 1978.
Had we not done that we would not be on the crippling housing shortage we are in today. We got exactly what we planned for.
This isn’t drastic, it’s a return to what once was

Epic legislation-author, completely unafraid of MAGA, & the elected official you’re most likely to run into on transit or at a block party in SF. Excited to see what @scottwiener.bsky.social can do in DC!
SF YIMBY is proud to endorse @scottwiener.bsky.social in his historic Congressional bid! The YIMBY movement would not be anywhere near where it is today if not for the work and influence of Scott Wiener.

We cannot welcome foreigners and refugees into our communities when we refuse to let anyone build new homes.
"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:
'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

It really is stark how much most people who oppose Family Zoning (and really many changes) have this idea that San Francisco is doomed if we do anything, and yet every year it’s just gotten harder and harder to live here

"Only billionaires should pay higher taxes" discourse is downstream from a general belief that policy change need not involve tradeoffs, and that the very existence of tradeoffs is an automatic dealbreaker. My run-ins with people who hold this view are what will finally cause my psychotic break.

In a new report, Family Zoning is not going to build nearly enough homes per the City Economist. This is why we have been asking for an analysis like this.
Now that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t pass the FZP. We should. But we got A LOT more work to do media.api.sf.gov/documents/25...

This whole project is just an embarrassment of San Francisco process. It started IN 2018 and now has less housing affordable or otherwise. In 2019 they envisioned 800 or 900 homes, with 50 percent affordable. Now? Only 100 affordable. That’s a failure www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/a...

I urge @governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social to sign SB79 & allow more housing at transit hubs - and stem the population loss that's going to lose CA 4 electoral votes in 2030 as TX and FL gain 4 EACH. Help people stay in CA and move to CA - and retain our political power! @cayimby.bsky.social

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

Cannot be emphasized enough that anti-housing NIMBYs in places like California and New York are objectively working to support a durable MAGA hold on Congress and the presidency.
It’s much harder to build housing in Blue states than it is in Red states.
So yes people are moving away from Blue states.
One more reason that addressing the housing shortage in NY and elsewhere must be an urgent priority.

California Housing Is Killing Democracy
The Gerrymandering War took a bad electoral situation for the Democratic Party in 2030 and made it much, much worse. All thanks to California's housing shortage.

Another example that drives me nuts is when people propose thing like building "teacher housing" in cities that struggle to hire teachers. Just build more housing in general! I promise it's better than assigning particular blocks to certain professional castes!
