“It is more holistically just speaking to the fact that money speaks & if you have enough money you can get what you want effectively,” he said. “I associated that more with national politics & less of local regional neighborhood type endeavors or politics or projects.”

Don’t be fooled by him. Private equity is a small part of the problem. This is a distraction.
In his own district, regular homeowners fight tooth and nail to block housing. People have held hunger strikes to block homeless shelters and housing for teachers

Grateful for @samtrans.com & @caltrain.com operators. Without them my household would be compelled to buy, insure, fuel & park a car—something none of my neighbors are aware that they are being spared from—thanks to San Mateo County transit workers!
Where would our city be without its transport workers? They keep London moving and as we’ve seen in recent days, they can be heroes in moments of real adversity.
To every transport worker, from our bus drivers to our station staff: thank you for all you do. You are truly valued.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Don’t be mad, be glad! Grateful for community investment—what’s the alternative?
Happy Monday, folks! I’m currently at San Mateo City Hall, where the council is hearing an item about the Hillsdale Mall redevelopment into a mixed use space with 1.4K new homes, office, and retail.
The house is packed, and there’s an overflow room. As usual: people are mad. 🧵
