it’s cool how San Francisco’s reactionary leftists are lying about my career to try and make Zohran look bad, all because they’re mad at him for actually supporting building housing
SF’s NIMBY “leftists” are:
1. literally just conservatives
2. the biggest losers on earth
3. allergic to power

the contrast between the left in NYC and San Francisco is incredible
winning the mayoralty by relentlessly focusing on the cost of living and making government more effective vs. promoting a shitcoin named after a bodega cat run over by a Waymo

it’s actually absurd that people who consider themselves progressives are still siding with the Staten Island Republican Party over Zohran on the pro-housing ballot measures

New York completely rejected left-NIMBYism today. we elected a socialist pro-housing mayor, and passed pro-housing ballot measures with a diverse coalition that was strongest in the Bronx, winning every borough by double digits (except the MAGA NIMBYs Staten Island)

it’s funny how both the far left and right don’t understand how supply & demand work. the right assumes supply is completely inelastic so increased demand always raise prices
while the far left assumes demand is completely inelastic so increased supply will fail to reduce prices
