I've had a couple columns published by the @sfstandard.com and it was as great an experience as I've ever had in my lifetime as a reporter. I wish Mike Mortiz great success in reinventing journalism's business model.

@scottwiener.bsky.social, I admire your efforts to create affordable housing. Please start looking at the impact of short term rentals statewide (up to 20% of our neighborhoods in Palm Springs). They're empty most of the time and they would otherwise be used as long-term rentals for working people.
