"Say no to pan handling. Real change not spare change. Soliciting is unlawful. City of Lake Elsinore."
Kick away the ladder in the name of teaching people personal responsibly. "Real change" as if they hadn't tried this tactic this decades.

Candidate's tag line is "protect the small town feel" but as any Seattlite, knows Mercer Island's "small town" feel is just a commodity reserved exclusively for people with "big city" jobs.

I'm trying to understand your standard of "better" or "worse" we might be advocating for the same thing.
But so far, I only get an amorphous category of housing that I'm not sure even exists.
Is there a project you think exemplifies authentic rent stabilized housing?

But what does "build rent control" look like if not subsidized? Most rent controlled housing started as market rate housing.

Serious question. How much housing should SF build? Like how many units per year? Subsidized or market rate, you pick. How much is good, how much is too much?

HUGE HOUSING NEWS: The Assembly just passed our bill allowing more homes near public transportation, SB 79!
We need more housing & we need it near transit. Itβll reduce traffic congestion & carbon emissions & increase transit ridership & affordability.
Go housing! Go transit!
